MusicMix allows two methods of log output for BSI. The method you'll use is
determined by your initial system setup.
BSI assigns a unique file name on your hard drive to each audio event.
* Standard BSI setup:
For all sources other then "V", the file name becomes "SSSS-CC" where "SSSS" is
the Source Number and "CC" is the Cut number.
* Alternate BSI Setup (BSI2):
For all sources other then "V", the file name becomes "BBBSSSSCC" where "BBB" is
the Bin Number, "SSSS" is the Source Number and "CC" is the Cut number. Your
file name can be up to nine characters with this setup. No hyphens are inserted.
Any blanks within bin, source, or cut are removed.
BSI also uses a "Cueing" code (+, @, # or blank). All music is MusicMix is
automatically assigned a code of "+". For events, you must assign the code in
the "Sync" field.
Voice Tracking:
For "V" Source Events (intros and outros), the file name will become the letter
"V", followed by the first two letters of the day of the week, followed by a
four digit number which corresponds to the time the Voice-Over is scheduled (in
military time). For example a Voice-Over scheduled on Monday at 12:01 PM would
be recorded on the hard drive in a file named "VMO1201", Tuesday at 1:11 AM
would be "VTU0111". For events with Source of "V", any "Source Number" or "Bin"
entered by the user will be ignored and replaced with the above data.
Technical Information:
1) The daily playlists are output to the user selected path as "mmddyy.ASC"
where "mmddyy" is month, date, and year of the playlist. They are erased after
14 days.
2) The log file is a standard ASCII Standard Data Format text files with one
record per line. Records are delimited by CR/LF, fields are delimited by spaces
(position dependant).
