8.3 Playlist management with time bind programming: connecting two 
      Replays 

 

Connecting two Replays in cascade via Vlink connection and the audio inputs/outputs (see 
figure), one can recreate the typical operating mode of a commercial radio station. 
One Replay (programmed to run in playlist mode) reproduces the musical items, the other 
– programmed to run according to schedule – reproduces the spots. 

 
 
 

 

 
 
 

When an hour bar is to be reproduced, the schedule-programmed Replay waits for 
consent for the end of the item from playlist-programmed Replay (which goes into 
standby), before starting to issue the commercials. Once the reproduction of the hour bar 
is over, the playlist-programmed Replay will start to reproduce the following item.  

 

If you connect the two Replays also via RS232, you can automatically call up a  playlist. 
Using a suitable command inserted in the  ID3 TAG of a file inside an hour bar, allowing, 
for example, the selection of all the playlists you want during the day. 
This command actually books the uploading of the  specified playlist, the reproduction of 
which will start as soon as the last spot of the hour bar ends. Even though Replay does not  
give any error code, it may not actually be able to upload the requested  playlist.

 

 

Example:

 

CMI3=4 

 

CMI3 (Transmission management of ID3 content  via serial) 

0=No transmission of  ID3 content. 

 

1=Request for transmission of content of TITLE field, with a maximum length of 200 

characters, temporarily stopping the reproduction. 

 

2=Same as above but  referring to the Album field. 

 

3=Same as above but  referring to the  Comment (or notes) field. 

 

4=Request for transmission of content of TITLE field, with a maximum length of 20 

characters, without interrupting the normal reproduction. 

 

5=Same as above but  referring to the Album field.
