[Policy & Procedures] The On Air Computer

****ROUGH DRAFT***


The HP computer in the on-air booth has certain functions that need to be continuously carried out. It can also be used to search the internet and playback KRFH promos & underwriting spots.

YOU SHOULD NOT DOWNLOAD ANYTHING WITH THIS COMPUTER.

Be careful when playing songs from the internet, as buffering will stop the music. The internet is useful for information but very unreliable for playing quality music. It should only used to play random request that are not in the studio (via youtube).

Programs that should always be open:
Simplecam
Thunderbird
iTunes


Simplecam v1.3
Simplecam is the web-cam software. By opening the simplecam program the preview screen will appear on the monitor. The web-cam can not be seen until the server is started.

To start the web-cam server:
Open Simplecam v1.3
On the server menu, select ‘start server’
Point the web-cam in the desired direction

Thunderbird
Thunderbird is an email program that is used to display the KRFH requests that are sent through the website. This is the program that should always be on the screen, so you can see new requests as they come in.

iTunes
iTunes is used to playback the KRFH.NET Underwriting spots. This computer will also have the latest digital promos in the iTunes library, organized in playlists by date.
