‘Audio file playout systems for spots and music are an essential part of everyday broadcast operations. Until now, broadcasters have been faced with sourcing expensive dedicated playout systems and preparing console project and playout systems individually,’ says Piers Plaskitt, CEO of SSL.

The C-Play system is embedded into the SSL C100 HDS and C10 HD console control surface, improving operator ergonomics, and integrateing recall of Playlists with console projects and a competitive price benefit.

C-Play combines Player, Cut and Playlist functions in a simple, streamlined system. The C-Play interface uses familiar playout controls and is operated from the console’s central touchscreen. Playback triggers can also be assigned to console faders or buttons or external control systems.

Audio files are stored in a shared network location, enabling import from an external craft editor. A comprehensive cut system sets individual file playback properties without altering the audio source file and offers complete control over Start, Stop, Loop, Fade, etc. A sequence of cuts can be assembled into fully featured playlists for instant recall and manual or automated playback.

C-Play will be available as part of a C10 HD V3 and C100 HDS V4 Software Upgrade release from July 2011.
