Integration Example
The Broadcast Audio Processor (BAP) is your versatile play-out application based on softGear™
micro-service architecture running on commercial-off-the-shelf hardware. softGear’s flexible
architecture is designed to accommodate your current and future audio needs by allowing
additional processing blocks as required. The BAP offers a robust, standalone solution with
transmission path protection that allows you to integrate with any playout system. As a result, you
can customize your automation, master control, and graphics engine.
