MusicMaster Virtual Breaks
The Virtual Break System allows you to schedule a single log from
a single MusicMaster database, and export that same log several times
with completely different breaks and automation commands.
There are two different ways you can use Virtual Breaks.
The Virtual Break Table allows you to export logs to multiple automation
systems. The Table you create allows the insertion of the correct
automation codes for each individual system.
By indicating the Virtual Break Number in the clocks, you will export
the correct break. For each export design, you will have a separate
Table. This is how you are able to maintain separate break text for
separate automation systems. Your clocks will contain only placeholder
lognotes that are replaced in the export file with actual breaks
from the Virtual Break Table. Each clock can use any number of breaks
from this table.
We also offer the Hourly Break Table. This allows you to export
the same log to multiple stations, like a network would do. Each
station might need to have different break text lines, and breaks
at different locations in the hour. The Hourly Breaks Table allows
you to do that.
In this case, you do not need to do anything special on the clocks,
or add any lognotes at all. Simply assign a break table to each hour
you export, and then add breaks to the tables. In this case, you
will also specify the position within the hour for each break you
define. Breaks can automatically be inserted in the hour at a specific
position by time, number of songs, or hour location. Breaks can even
be chained together in this table. As each hour is exported, the
appropriate Table is loaded and the breaks from that Table are inserted
into the export file.
