INSTANT CARTWALLThis feature together with 8BC AutoTool and 8BC BaseTool provides that every change made on scheduling workstations of your
network in RCS Selector and RCS Linker (song addition, promo editing etc.) is reflected in the on-air studio. The programmer
and the music director create the library and schedules on their workstations. They can both have the immediate access to
the sound library and schedules. There is a worldwide unique possibility of monitoring and sound elements editing directly within
RCS Selector (or RCS Linker) environment which makes your work easier and more transparent.

INSTANT LOGThis feature together with 8BC LogTool provides instant reflecting log changes made on scheduling workstations in the on-air
studio.
8BC MULTIMODECartMaster system contains several broadcast modes:
Automatic
mode the system performs pre-prepared broadcast; songs, jingles, spots,
promos, breaks etc.). 8BC iQ Broadcast Automation technology allows such adjusting automatic broadcast parameters that your broadcast sounds better than performed
by a man. With precise broadcast preparation you can acquire the impression of live broadcast without anyone controlling it,
e. g. during less important dayparts (usually at nights).
Assist
mode the system performs the most of the work but the operator can intervene
in the broadcast whenever it is needed.
Satellite
mode this mode provides broadcasting of so called "windows" (regional
splits). Splitting can be used in the Automatic mode too. We developed a unique new generation system of splits which allows you to influence
the length of your individual splits.
Manual
mode
CartMaster supports also the strictly manual broadcast which is
attractive for some types of radio stations. The high comfort allows the operator very quickly playback of any selected element.
8BC DYNAMICAL SPLITSDynamical splitting of the broadcast is a novelty in radio technologies. While the common solution is based upon the fixed duration of each break, the dynamical model allows you to change duration of individual breaks. The old-fashioned fixed model of splitting doesn't allow radio stations to react to commercial breaks fills (numbers of spots in commercial breaks) - the split time is set up and it is not easy to enlarge (or to shorten) it according to the main of local fill-out.
Our solution allows every station to:
adjust the break duration according to the length of the longest fill-out of all
the windows (the main or local)
automatic fill of underscheduled breaks (in relation to precise timing and many
scheduling rules and restrictions)
conduct automatic time-stretching of all breaks - this is the end of switching
in the middle of fill-in on the split frequencies.
8BC further provides new technology for split implementation and windows interconnections:
8BC CartMaster Satellite
is the extended version of 8BC CartMaster broadcast workstation developed
especially for the administration and the local split implementation.
8BC Traffic Synchronizer - is a tool providing you work with real
traffic fill-in durations (commercials, promos etc.) during log scheduling or local scheduling aside from the traffic software used in your station. 8BC Traffic Synchronizer
provides monitoring of the entire traffic information flow within the radio network and takes care of the data validation
check and control at the right moment. It also pre-warns you when a commercial or promo element is missing in the
on-air studio and allows you to make corrections. Due to this tool you are able to precisely schedule not only the
main program, but also the local one.
