Campcaster was designed to allow implementation in a number of use scenarios, ranging from an unmanned broadcast unit accessed from remote through the Internet to a local network of Campcaster machines inside a radio station handling live broadcasts and delivering program automation by accessing a central audio storage system.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.sourcefabric.org/en/home/radio/45/Features.htm?tpl=18|title=Campcaster Features}}</ref> |
|||
==History== |
|||
The initial concept for Campcaster, originally named LiveSupport, was developed in 2003 by Micz Flor, a German new-media developer. The concept was further developed by Ákos Maróy, a software developer and then-member of [[Tilos Radio]], Robert Klajn, a radio producer at [[B92|Radio B92]], and Douglas Arellanes and Sava Tatić from the [[Media Development Loan Fund| Media Development Loan Fund (MDLF)]]. The initial development was financed from a grant from the [[Open Society Institute]]'s Information Program, through its ICT Toolsets initiative. The development was originally coordinated by MDLF through its Campware.org initiative, now spun off as the independent not-for-profit organisation [[Sourcefabric]]. |
|||
==Components== |
|||
*Studio: a desktop application for live shows or scheduling automated playback. |
|||
*Web: an HTML interface for remote scheduling of automated playback. |
|||
*Scheduler: a daemon which plays songs at their designated time. There is an XML-RPC interface for the Scheduler. |
|||
*Storage Server: stores audio files and playlists and allows access to them via XML-RPC. |
|||
==Criticism== |
|||
Despite the early enthusiasm and early adequate funding, Campcaster has yet to gain a greater foothold among radio broadcasters. A new Campcaster development team was recruited by [[Sourcefabric]] in June 2010. |
