Digilink-Xtreme Software for Hard Disk Automation ($100/month)
For the ultimate in Automation, Digilink-Xtreme software (optional) provides complete hard disk based automation features for the PC
USB module in the MARC-15 console. Unlike standard Xtreme for satellite automation which includes the ‘Bridge’ routing switcher,
Xtreme for the MARC-15 uses the console for audio playback & recording. Where satellite based automation selects between multiple
satellite audio feeds, Xtreme for the MARC-15 plays entirely from audio files stored on the hard disk and does not control external
sources at all. This makes Xtreme for the MARC-15 ideal for hard file based automation for broadcast or internet radio applications.

The power of this system lies in the merging of console and PC into a single integrated play and record studio. The ability to use the
console to mix and control recording to the PC makes this system perfect for producing recorded programs. Use the MARC-15 console
to produce your live air segments and then go fully automated for the rest of the day or week.

the Xtreme Solutions Program provides software, phone training, phone & email support, and software upgrades
No contract required, cancel at any time if the Solutions Program doesn’t meet your needs
less than the monthly cost of most cell phone, cable TV, & wideband internet services
supports > 4000 audio files in the Library
Automate up to a Week in advance with up to 100 events per hour
Voice track your automated hours quickly and easily with Xtreme
Music Scheduling, powerful and flexible is standard in Xtreme
‘X-sched’ traffic software for a separate traffic office is standard with Xtreme
Arrakis ‘X-Edit-Pro’ production software is ‘Free’ with the Solutions Program
‘Xtreme-studios’ software for PC only News rooms and Remotes is standard with Xtreme
be live on air with the Console and then Automate the rest of your day or week

Download Xtreme from the Arrakis website and try it out (www.arrakis-systems.com)

Digilink-Xtreme for ‘Live Air’ & ‘Automation’

Software features

the optional PC USB module contains a built-in, Windows compatible,
USB sound card for USB connection to a PC. (maximum of one module
per PC)

‘Free’ Digilink-Xtreme software for ‘Live On Air’ with the MARC-15
Arrakis Digilink-Xtreme software will recognize the PC-USB module in
the MARC-15 console and operate in the ‘free’ mode to provide ’Live
On Air’ features that are ideal for broadcast, internet, or podcast
style radio applications.
