<strong>MAR4Win</strong><br />
INFORMATION MANAGEMENT, AUTOMATIONAND HANDLING SYSTEM.<br />
<strong>MAR4Win</strong> is the most advanced automation,<br />
management and broadcasting system <strong>for</strong><br />
professionalradiobroadcasting. Itincludes<br />
the most powerful tools <strong>for</strong> per<strong>for</strong>ming all<br />
theusualtasksinaradiostation.<br />
From <strong>MAR4Win</strong>,in,audio,texts,andlistscan<br />
be created, edited and broadcast. The<br />
application recognizes these three types of<br />
in<strong>for</strong>mation as Objects, and they are stored<br />
in large in<strong>for</strong>mation repositories called<br />
Managers. These managers may be<br />
availabletoallusersonanetwork,atauser's<br />
terminal(local)oronremovableunits(CD-<br />
ROMs,magneto-opticaldisks,etc.).<br />
Apart from its functionality and its user<br />
friendliness, this application stands out<br />
because of its adaptability to diverse<br />
broadcastingenvironments.<br />
There<strong>for</strong>e, thissystem'sability tocombine single- andmulti-trackaudioeditors, news agencyservices,automatic report<br />
recorders, continuityrecorders, program creators and broadcast support, distinguished it from itscompetitors.<br />

<strong>MAR4Win</strong><br />
! MAR4Setup isthe management module from whichwork options and configuration<br />
mechanismsare set. From MAR4Setup,work and user groups are created with<br />
differentprofilesandpossibilities,suchas,<strong>for</strong>example,permissions<strong>for</strong>editing,<br />
creating, deleting objects, etc. Mar4Win options such as the creation of<br />

AUTOMATIONMODULES<br />
Theoptionalautomation modules offered bytheMar4Win are specialized application <strong>for</strong> awide<br />
arrayof broadcasting needs such as editing, remote telephonerecording, handling news agency<br />
services, recording fromCD´s, teleprompter and automation programming capabilities.<br />
MAR4News<br />
NEWS EDITINGSOFTWARE<br />
MAR4News,isanapplication intendedmainly<strong>for</strong>journalists. Basically,it worksas a<br />
high-capacity agency news (teletype) server, both because of the number of news<br />
agenciesitworkswithaswellasbecauseofthevolumeofteletypes. Itallowsatextto<br />
be trans<strong>for</strong>med so that the writer can modify it (adding or deleting text), as well as<br />
includingaudiostatements.<br />

MAR4Editand MAR4Multitrack<br />
DIGITALAUDIOEDITORS FORMAR4WIN<br />
MAR4Edit and MAR4Multitrack, are two digital audio editors that belong to the<br />
groupofapplicationsthatdowhatisknownasnon-linearandnon-destructiveediting.<br />
Thismeansthateditingisnotdonesequentially,asitwouldbedoneinananalog-tapebased<br />
system. Editing work based on pointers, memory addresses, etc., allows<br />

MAR4Edit handles 2simultaneous audio tracksand MAR4Multitrack handles up to32<br />
tracks.<br />

,isanapplicationprimarilyintended<strong>for</strong>radioannouncers. Itbasicallyworks<br />
like the telepromptersnormallyused<strong>for</strong>television,incorporatingalist of objectsthat are<br />
going to be broadcast in the Mar4Win and awindow that gives access to <strong>MAR4Win</strong>'s<br />

MAR4Cont per<strong>for</strong>msmulti-channel recording. It allowsreferencesor marksto be taken<br />
from recordedaudiofiles. It isalsopossible to disseminate recordedfiles inreal time,<br />
throughan Intranet,andsendthemtothe journalists.<br />
TheMAR4Mark<br />
applicationselect and extracts audio fragments recorded in the<br />
MAR4Cont.<br />
MAR4Cont server issold with theMAR4Mark<br />
and it is acontinuous and autonomous<br />
recorderand also actsasan audio distribution server. Likewise,the MAR4Cont Client<br />

MAR4Autolist<br />
AUTOMATICPLAYLISTGENERATINGSYSTEM<br />
MAR4Autolist<br />
is provides the necessary tools to create, classify and process<br />
automatically the play list to be broadcast. The selectable criteria in the program<br />
uses the recorded music library in the system hard disk to provide automatically<br />
the music programming. With this optional module the data <strong>for</strong> musical files are<br />
kept updated, automatically create play lists and generate reports with all the<br />
activitieshandledbythe .<br />

MAR4Dac isanapplicationdesignedtoautomatetwodifferenttasks: ontheonehand,digitalextraction<br />
ofaudiotracksfromCD´s,andonthe otherhand, their laterconversioninto <strong>MAR4Win</strong> audioobjects.<br />
Mar4Dac automatically fills in the title, artist, duration and size fields <strong>for</strong> each file through an Internet<br />
connectiontoCDDBdatabase.<br />
MAR4Weather<br />
MODULE FORINTEGRATINGTHEWEATHER<br />
STATIONINTO MAR4WIN<br />
MAR4Weather isan application that allows Mar4Win togatherdata directlyfrom aweather<br />
stationto fully integrate it into thebroadcastingsystem.The weather station gathersseveral<br />
atmospheric values, suchas: temperature, relative humidity,winddirectionandspeed.<br />
Mar4Win allowsmanual orautomatic broadcastingof the weather data.<br />
MAR4Autoloaderand Telecomand<br />
AUTOMATICMANAGERANDREMOTECONTROLRECEPTIONMODULE<br />
MAR4Autoloader<br />
is the program responsible <strong>for</strong> managing the group of objects that<br />
makeupaparticularautomaticorremotecontroledbroadcast.<br />
Asfar asRemote Controlisconcerned, in aradiobroadcastingchain, the need arises<br />
to act on Mar4win andotheraudiosources, to start themup or stop them accordingto<br />
programmingneeds. Wehave personalizedremote control systems<strong>for</strong> different<br />
needs (contact closure, continuous data channel, DTMF,switchingbetween<br />
programs,auxiliarydevices, etc.),all without the physical presenceof anoperator.<br />
