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.
