What’s new for 2.17.0¶
New Modules¶
- Virtual Mixing Panel (DSM-161)* allows you to broadcast additional sound sources and control them in a simple mixing panel. Through the panel, you can connect an arbitrary number of microphone inputs and organize live broadcasting without a physical mixer console.
- Mixing console control (DSM-163)* supports the management of physical or virtual mixers via the Digispot II user interface. At the moment, physical mixers DHD, AEQ (Forum and Capitol), Axia (Element and Radius) and EELA Audio (D3) are supported. The module is a virtual mixing console with an unlimited number of rulers, each of which displays a name, amplification in dB, buttons "Stop" and "Start", a scale.
- The report to the State Radio and Radio Fund (DSM-164)* automatically generates a report table and a set of audio files for sending a binding copy of documents in accordance with Federal Law No. 77 of 29.12.1994.
- Substitution Service (DSM-165)* will help to make dynamic changes to news releases that are already in the process of broadcasting: for emergency issues, news about weather, traffic jams, etc.
- Integration Service (DSM-167)* works on the Digispot Web platform and allows you to configure synchronization of the Digispot II schedule and Media DB fields with third-party systems (databases). Now the integration with musical rotators Music Master, GSelector, RAS system, etc. is realized with the help of the module.
- Block duration adjustment (DSM-169)* adjusts the planned duration of the main schedule ad units for the maximum duration of the corresponding blocks of regional schedules.
- Remote control AXIA (DSM-171)* allows the communication between Digispot II modules and AXIA mixers Element and the Radius, allowing remote control of broadcasting player: open or close the channel, run fader start, fader stop.
- Task Manager: Auto delete items from categories (DSM-173)* deletes items from the Media DB after their expiration date. If the item is included in several categories, you can set the expiration date for each of them.
- The "Block Loudness Control" group of modules allows you to automatically calculate the integral loudness of the broadcasted ad unit and compare it with the loudness of the surrounding material (5 minutes before and after). Modules included in the group: Task Manager: Loudness calculation (DSM-168), Loudness Log (DSM-177), Task Manager: Block Accounting (DSM-176).
- Task Manager: scheduled report generation (DSM-172) generates a text report on schedules or logs for a given report template with the ability to specify a filter.
* are also included in 2.16.3

Other improvements:
- A group of improvements that increased the productivity and reliability of the software: we accelerated the operation of the Media DB, increased the memory for the loaded applications (DDB, AMPV) and implemented the correctness of the configuration file .vid, when it is edited independently. Tickets: #51105, #51106, #49324, #50313, #52233, #58228.
- A group of revisions in the DJin marking tab a new type of editor, a tab "Locked area", a more convenient mode of working with StartThis labels, etc.
- The functionality of the module "Production and news reduction" (DSM-022) has been expanded to quickly form news releases, to export the materials of the whole air schedule or its parts.
- The ability to choose the calculating method of the release time of the schedule blocks: "planned" or "real" time. "Planned" is convenient for a schedule that is not fully formed. For example, at the planning stage, and when "gaps" for live broadcasts or retransmissions are scheduled. This method does not take into account release options and other properties of the blocks. "Real time" is based on the actual time of the elements on the air, it takes into account the options of the blocks or elements, as well as other properties of the blocks; only over-elements are ignored. The method is convenient when the schedule is fully formed, and it is already on the air. Using the "real time" method it's possible to control when and how all blocks will be played. The ability to switch methods is implemented in all applications in which there is a module "Schedule".
