Of course, we have our traditional Zetta studios with a file server, sequencer, and Control Room machines, however, with the introduction of more modern workflow requirements, how can Zetta maximize your operations by evolving with advanced configurations, like a Format Center? We were joined by RCS Canada’s Scott Farr to discuss some of these advanced configurations, using real life client examples.

Recently our very own Nathan Mumford hosted a screencast covering just a few of the many great features of GSelector including Selector2GO and a few tips on building a better schedule.
by Max Davies Having worked with multiple commercial radio products, I can vouch for the fact when it comes to sales, traffic and accounting workflows, no two companies are the same. Of course, this means that these companies have different views on how stations, clients, accounts, spot types etc should be grouped and categorized –…
If you work in programming, then you know that radio is all about the music. But here’s the thing. Every format has basically the same core library. You’ve got it, and your competition has got it. So, how do you make your music stand out? The answer has a lot to do with the how…
Proper reconciliation of aired material – be it songs, spots or anything else – has always been an important part of radio operations worldwide. In many countries, for example, commercials will be scheduled by the traffic department and aired by the playout system; but until they are properly reconciled back to the traffic system, the…
Max Davies here to share a couple of examples of very useful albeit long-standing features within the Aquira UI. These are seemingly “little things” that can actually make a HUGE difference for anyone managing their traffic. Aquira has the ability to have multiple screens open at the same time with each screen showing as a…
Building a truly capable, multi-station system with no artificial restrictions was one of the core ingredients added when Zetta was conceived more than a decade ago. There are many benefits for multiple stations to live inside of a single system, and one of them is the ability to share resources. With Zetta you can add…
This new feature wraps up an effort we started many years ago (in Zetta 2.8) by introducing the custom field framework. Zetta now has a nice and friendly face on a feature that previously lacked ability for users to review and manage their own fields in Zetta.
Necessity is the mother of invention, they say. With the release of NexGen back in the late 90s, we also released a companion product to help convert audio files, specifically mp3 for the most part, to NexGen’s native MPEG1 LayerII format. That product was called AFC (Audio Format Converter), and it had 8 file folder…
In NexGen, the process to record audio in the background is called “DRR” or Digital Reel to Reel, which is a term it inherited from Audio Wizard. With Zetta, we call this process Background Recorder (or BGR), which is a nod to RCS Master Control as that’s what it was called in that product. Regardless,…
In 2.12 Dashboard Reports are now customizable per user. A radio organization can control what reports are seen by using various levels of security. Access is restrained within your organization by assigning users into different groups of Users (User Roles). This is now further enhanced by allowing Users to login to Aquira2GO our browser based…
New to Zetta 4.0, we have added a System Monitor module to Zetta2Go. This can be used to monitor all of your radio stations in one view, as well as to look at other system attributes such as DB size, Content store status and available space. For the station status, you can see progress bars…
RCS, the World’s Largest Broadcast Software Company, has made sure our radio automation equipment, like NexGen, could distribute content between multiple stations. NexGen Digital introduced Wancasting to the radio industry. When we implemented Wancasting in Zetta four years ago, we kept improving it. In fact, there were so many improvements and exclusive features in the…
