It manages the Data Repositories (File Servers) and oversees: • • • • Mirroring Function File Check & Management Function File Transfer Function File Scheduling Function SM SDM Asset BM S&RM Asset Management Input: •XML file from SDM every time a file is sent •SQL access to the Schedule Database •SQL access to user Database Process: •FTP Servers •Accounts based on User Database •Mirroring between Servers & Archives •Audio File Check, Repair, Flag Output: •Generates status of file to SDM (XML in queue) •Generates status of file to S&RM Database (based on the Processes accomplished) •Generates Generic Schedule for BM in XML •Push files to BM (if needed) •Backup on CD/DVD •Length, Encoding, Name, Tag, Checksum (ID3 <-> XML reconciliation) SDM •File Push to BM (if needed) •Copy, then Rename & transcode files as appropriate for BM (unless BM is equipped to do this task) •Keep Backup (on CD/DVD) SM Asset BM S&RM Studio Module This module is used at the studio locations Input: •Audio files (in WAV, MPx) •Description of file •XML from Asset of status of previously sent files Process: Output: •FTP processed file to AWR Server •XML info on file sent •Archival CD/DVDs •ID3 Tagging •Rename (based on playout date or sequential numbering, or both) •Transcode for FM or SW format (if both required, only FM format is processed) SDM •Burn CD/DVD for local archival (or non-internet Xfer) •Generates Labels as appropriate SM Asset BM S&RM Schedule Module This module runs on a Server (other than the main file servers) Input: •Schedule database •Updates of schedule in RTF format from Frequency Management •Updates of schedule via Web interface Output: •Web: PR Page (schedule.awr.org) •PDF schedule auto-generation •Updated schedule database Process: SDM •Read/Write access to the Schedule Database •Backup of Schedule Database SM This module was 95% complete as of Autumn ‘05 Asset BM S&RM Stat & Report Module This module runs on a Server (other than the main file servers) Input: •Availability SQL Database •SolarWinds (SNMP) SQL Database •SM Schedule SQL Database (read only) •Asset Management entries •SNMP traps from monitoring devices Process: Output: •Web access •SolarWinds (SNMP) •availability.awr.org •Asset Display •Audio Program Inventory •Asset Management Queries •Alarm generation SDM •Collect SNMP info •Process and Statistical analysis of Databases •Trigger of Alarms based on heuristics SM Asset BM S&RM Broadcast Module This module is used at the Region Offices (and AWR owned TX sites) Input: Output: •Generic XML Schedule file from Asset •Audio Files received from Asset •Playout acknowledgement •Generates status of file to S&RM Database (based on the Processes accomplished) •site specific Schedule file (by Process: •File Download (pull) (if not FTP Pushed) day/week, depending on requirements) •Filename structure verification (may vary fromby transmitter (or automation system) •CD/DVD archives AWR’s Standard due to Playout site’s preference) •Audio file verification •Length, Encoding, ID3, checksum •Generation of site specific Schedule File •Automation System (i.e. eXaudi like) •Process playout acknowledgement SDM SM Asset BM S&RM Filename Structure AWR Standard for normal files Filename Structure AWR Standard for Spare files Filename Structure AWR Standard for Jingle/Promo files Major Asset Management Packages • • • • • • • Harris H-Class Dalet Plus IntegritSystem Avid Active ImageDirector ImageArcadia DSpace (Open Source by MIT & HP) Functionality • • • • • • • Distributed Storage Management (online, nearline, offline) Multi-tiered security access level with user management interface Optimized bandwidth usage Media repurposing (transcoding, etc…) Searchable open (non propriatory) Database (SQL ?) Custom multi-filename structures (input, internal storage, multi-output formats) Built-in verification & correction of integrity of digital assets – • • • Media Tagging (reads & writes ID3 tags & other meta-data) Real-Time information, Statistical reports Support for collaborative content generation – – • magazine audio file formats Template management Trackable process-oriented Workflow – • • (MP3) check for length, silence detection, normalization, etc… Uploads, edits, sign-offs, broadcasts, repeats, kill date, PodCast stats Media Catalogs Multilingual (with support for at least UDF-8)
