Standard
Receive reports automatically through email or manually retrieved reports as needed. Reports include:
- Pre-air Discrepancy Report (configurable runtime for report; however, usually runs daily, prior to a schedule going to air).
- Urgent Request Notifications - undetected material needed for air (usually 2 to 4 hrs to air - configurable) triggers generation of an Urgent Request Notification.
- Critical Request Notifications - for events whose material has not been detected as available for air within a configurable time before air (usually 15 to 30 minutes to air) triggers generation of a Critical Request Notification.
- Deviation Report & Reconciliation File for Traffic automatically runs daily or can be manually requested as needed
- Automated dub and purge list processing. Again, can be automatically emailed or manually accessed.
- Automated Schedule Import (BXF or native). SMART Central monitors traffic folders and automatically creates Florical Schedules, instantly making them available for on-air. No operator intervention required.
Options
- Remote Airboss - Control on-air from any networked workstation. Perfect for Dynamic Hubbing or for emergency access to "lights out" operations.
- Supervisory Monitor - monitor multiple channels on one workstation and directly select any single channel to access for control.
- Web Editor - Edit current and future schedules
- Live-Log BXF Traffic interface for two-way communication with traffic. Through emailed "Critical Reports" the Traffic Department can make last minute changes to on-air schedules to head off "make-goods" and if a make-good occures, Traffic is notified through reconcilliation reports and therefore can perform the make-good within minutes and potentially saving significant lost-revenue.
