So What Makes Zetta Different?
Modular Approach
Zetta takes a Modular approach to workflow. All functions have a launcher app looking after the services and will restart them if they stop unexpectedly. This means that the parts that play out audio are separate from the Sequencer, which is separate yet from the UI, which essentially is just a big remote control for the system and can be run on any workstation.
Incredible Integration
The RCS Living Log® lives on with the Zetta/GSelector advanced level of integration that facilitates an infinite variety of workflow concepts at your stations. Changes are instantly reflected everywhere, allowing for a truly multi-user experience.
Mobile Technology
Zetta2GO is a suite of applications that lets you control your Zetta Automation/Playout system from any internet browser. You can manipulate what's on the air from any place with an Internet connection.
ZCast
ZCast enables sites to share Audio Assets, Logs, Voice Tracks with Heads/Tails, Segue Transitions and Splits between stations and databases.
Zetta Splits
- The splits feature lets a master station send a signal, using TCP or Serial, to the local stations to play their own local spots and links, and then it rejoins the master station after the break.
- Splits stations can be used for Internet Streaming stations, Network Programming or Simulcasting.
Emergency On-Air Backup
Each computer in Zetta can be configured to have the ability to Go Local. This means the local computer will use a copy of the main database that is saved and synchronized on to the local computer.
Site Replication
- Site Replication keeps a copy of most of your entire database in sync somewhere else.
- Hardware/computer related items are not sync’d so that you can have local hardware configured to take a system to air if necessary.
Publish
Publish in Zetta®, allows for offloading of the rendering to separate computers, and also running separate external applications after the file(s) have been created.
Background Recorder
- A Background Recorder can be configured to record a Show or Satellite Feed for play at a later date or time on an On-Air station.
- It can also be used for other background tasks needed by stations such as, changing the fill category, changing the sequencer mode, running a macro or on demand recordings, thus removing the clutter from the normal stations log and preventing the accidental deletion of critical control events.
Weatherology
Weatherology is an alternative to the antiquated EAS emergency weather notification system. With Zetta you can fulfill your stations FCC weather mandate with a much more; localized, better sounding, superior quality, personalized emergency weather solution, with the capability of continuous coverage!
Zetta2GO gives you control of your Zetta Automation/Playout system from any internet browser. See your Logs, Hot Keys and the Segue/Voice Track Editor.
Unlimited possibilities.
Zetta’s “No Limits” design allows maximum flexibility without restriction on functionality. No other broadcast company offers a complete solution with as many features and possibilities for terrestrial, satellite, digital radio or streaming stations. Zetta’s sleek design has been simplified, streamlined and architected so that new users get more out of the system right away.
Zetta’s user interface feels instantly comfortable, irrespective of how long you have been on air. Using Zetta’s amazing floating modules, you have infinite options to set up Zetta exactly the way you prefer, guaranteeing that it will perfectly fit your workflow. Zetta was developed on SQL Server to enable the most flexibility for future expansion. Zetta seamlessly integrates with GSelector, RCS News and Aquira.
I have never used a system that simple from the Programming side, Production side, On Air side… after seeing Zetta, I am speechless.
