  11. SDM S&RM SM Asset BM Asset Management • Mirroring Function • File Check & Management Function • File Transfer Function • File Scheduling Function The Asset Management Module is the heart and brain of the Distribution Software architecture. It manages the Data Repositories (File Servers) and oversees:

  12. SDM S&RM SM Asset BM Asset Management • Output: • Generates status of file to SDM (XML in queue) • Generates status of file to S&RM Database (based on the Processes accomplished) • Generates Generic Schedule for BM in XML • Push files to BM (if needed) • Backup on CD/DVD • Input: • XML file from SDM every time a file is sent • SQL access to the Schedule Database • SQL access to user Database • Process: • FTP Servers • Accounts based on User Database • Mirroring between Servers & Archives • Audio File Check, Repair, Flag • Length, Encoding, Name, Tag, Checksum (ID3 <-> XML reconciliation) • File Push to BM (if needed) • Copy, then Rename & transcode files as appropriate for BM (unless BM is equipped to do this task) • Keep Backup (on CD/DVD)

  13. SDM S&RM SM Asset BM Studio Module This module is used at the studio locations • Input: • Audio files (in WAV, MPx) • Description of file • XML from Asset of status of previously sent files • Output: • FTP processed file to AWR Server • XML info on file sent • Archival CD/DVDs • Process: • ID3 Tagging • Rename (based on playout date or sequential numbering, or both) • Transcode for FM or SW format (if both required, only FM format is processed) • Burn CD/DVD for local archival (or non-internet Xfer) • Generates Labels as appropriate

  14. SDM S&RM SM Asset BM Schedule Module This module runs on a Server (other than the main file servers) • Input: • Schedule database • Updates of schedule in RTF format from Frequency Management • Updates of schedule via Web interface • Output: • Web: PR Page (schedule.awr.org) • PDF schedule auto-generation • Updated schedule database • Process: • Read/Write access to the Schedule Database • Backup of Schedule Database This module was 95% complete as of Autumn ‘05

  15. SDM S&RM SM Asset BM Stat & Report Module This module runs on a Server (other than the main file servers) • Input: • Availability SQL Database • SolarWinds (SNMP) SQL Database • SM Schedule SQL Database (read only) • Asset Management entries • SNMP traps from monitoring devices • Output: • Web access • SolarWinds (SNMP) • availability.awr.org • Asset Display • Audio Program Inventory • Asset Management Queries • Alarm generation • Process: • Collect SNMP info • Process and Statistical analysis of Databases • Trigger of Alarms based on heuristics

  16. SDM S&RM SM Asset BM Broadcast Module This module is used at the Region Offices (and AWR owned TX sites) • Input: • Generic XML Schedule file from Asset • Audio Files received from Asset • Playout acknowledgement • Output: • Generates status of file to S&RM Database (based on the Processes accomplished) • site specific Schedule file (by day/week, depending on requirements) by transmitter (or automation system) • CD/DVD archives • Process: • File Download (pull) (if not FTP Pushed) • Filename structure verification (may vary from AWR’s Standard due to Playout site’s preference) • Audio file verification • Length, Encoding, ID3, checksum • Generation of site specific Schedule File • Automation System (i.e. eXaudi like) • Process playout acknowledgement

  17. Filename StructureAWR Standard for normal files

  18. Filename StructureAWR Standard for Spare files

  19. Filename StructureAWR Standard for Jingle/Promo files

  20. Major Asset Management Packages • Harris H-Class • Dalet Plus • IntegritSystem • Avid Active • ImageDirector • ImageArcadia • DSpace (Open Source by MIT & HP)

  21. Functionality • Distributed Storage Management (online, nearline, offline) • Multi-tiered security access level with user management interface • Optimized bandwidth usage • Media repurposing (transcoding, etc…) • Searchable open (non propriatory) Database (SQL ?) • Custom multi-filename structures (input, internal storage, multi-output formats) • Built-in verification & correction of integrity of digital assets • (MP3) check for length, silence detection, normalization, etc… • Media Tagging (reads & writes ID3 tags & other meta-data) • Real-Time information, Statistical reports • Support for collaborative content generation • magazine audio file formats • Template management • Trackable process-oriented Workflow • Uploads, edits, sign-offs, broadcasts, repeats, kill date, PodCast stats • Media Catalogs • Multilingual (with support for at least UDF-8)
