Key Features
Myriad 6 Playout has literally hundreds of exciting tools and features. Even long term users are often delighted to discover elements they never knew existed! Click on the links below to learn more about some of the highlights.
Advanced Live & Automated Playout
The Log provides access to your station schedule for Live and Automated shows. Think of the Log as a giant playlist that can be manually built, or automatically built using Myriad Schedule or a 3rd party scheduling system.
Once built, you can use the Log to deliver Live programs (when you are in control of the show) or fully automated playout (for when the station is unattended).
If you have adequate permissions, you can alter the Log, add content, edit the segues and add 'Voice Links' to automated programming. The Log can automatically 'backtime' automated shows for time critical events (such as news), dynamically build music based promos (called AutoHooks) and even automatically post updates to your Twitter* & Facebook pages.
When you are presenting live shows, the Log helps with show planning and execution by providing constantly evolving timing information as well as allowing automated sequences for those all important coffee breaks!
* Requires your own API key.
SmartInfo
The SmartInfo Panel dynamically gathers and displays 'live' relevant information from various online sources relating to the active Artists and Songs in Myriad.
