Broadcast Radio Tools Pack
Last Updated 20th December 2021
The Broadcast Radio Tools pack contains several additional helper utilities. More information can be found on our help pages .
Note: The Tools pack is free to use, and you can use it's tools in as many locations as you like, but is provided without warranty, so support is not available by the Technical Support Team.
The Tool pack includes:
- Audio Loop Thru v5: This is a very simple tool that takes any audio presented to a Line-In on a specified soundcard and "plays" it out through a specified output with relatively low latency. It's designed for stations that want to do things like take an outside source automatically - like an IRN audio feed - but don't want to have to do all the work of wiring up a logic card to a mixing desk or to an audio switcher box.
- Stream Player v5: This simple utility allows you to play a media stream from another location and can be remote controlled via commands. Demonstration commands are included as Myriad v5 Media Items in the Media Pack file installed in c:\BroadcastRadioTools\BRStreamPlayer5Commands.zip - this can be easily imported from the File menu in Myriad Playout v5.
Audio Monitor v5
Last Updated 14th August 2020 - v5.6 released
The Audio Monitor is an application developed by Broadcast Radio to monitor a sound device's levels (either locally or by a remote network connection) and provide an on-screen display as well as email notifications of silences, even via SSL encrypted email servers.
Myriad Playout v5, SmartSign v1 and Myriad Monitor v4 can also connect to the Audio Monitor to display the levels alongside the Myriad Playout Log or around your building - even across multiple sites using your existing WAN if you have one.
The all new Audio Monitor v5 combines the 2 separate parts to the previous generations (Audio Import Monitor and Audio Remote Monitor) into a single easy to use installer - you just set the audio source to be a local sound card, or connect to a remote instance of the Audio Monitor.
Note: The Audio Monitor us free to use, and you can run as many copies in as many locations as you like, but is provided without warranty, so support is not available by the Technical Support Team.
Broadcast Radio Support File Generator
Download Support File Generator
Last Updated 18th April 2019
This application generates Broadcast Radio Support Files without the need for a Broadcast Radio program to be actively running.
If you run the Support File Creator on the computer running SQL Server then it can also add SQL Databases to the Support file.
Debug File Deleter
(Updated 4th August 2013)
This utility automatically deletes Broadcast Radio Debug files that are older than a specified number of days. Debug Files can get quite large so this utility helps to reduce the amount of disk space used.
