Operating and programming can be done directly through Simian’s onboard tools or by radio music programming and commercial log software. In today’s broadcast studio operation, the automation is the center of the operation, a key element within the system … without a good automation system your operation will be inefficient. Simian can handle the most arduous tasks with ease.Īs with any computer, a properly maintained and up-to-date filing system keeps everybody happy. On the radio network level, I have Simian Pro in either live-assist or fully automated mode doing two background records while sending metadata to the Webcast, sensing network relay closures for news and sending relay closures through the satellite uplink system. I have had the opportunity to work with Simian on many levels, from small mom-and-pop stations to major-market stations including radio networks with 80+ affiliates, all using Simian Pro. This approach designed Simian to be used for Webcast stations, small radio stations, and all the way to a network operation. BSI designed Simian as easy-to-use (and easy-to-learn). I have used a number of automation systems, and none have been as reliable and feature-packed as BSI Simian Pro. When it comes to the radio automation software, however, that could be a challenge.
