In live dayparts, The Phantom can also overlap spots to maintain that traditionally live sound. The Phantom can create reports to keep you informed on a number of topics, from a list of expired spots to an analysis of potential mistakes in your log. The Phantom also maintains a one-month history of system activity. While recording audio into the system, The Phantom remains completely functional on the air, switching input sources and airing both scheduled breaks and on-demand voice drops. While other systems tie your hands and limit your flexibility by offering only 3 or 4 inputs, The Phantom can control 7 stereo inputs using the Broadcast Tools switcher.
More inputs are available with additional switchers.
The Phantom has flexible recording capabilities. The Phantom includes MPEG Layer II and other encoding methods standard and Dolby AC-2 compression as an option. Each input source is referenced using a real name, not some cryptic computer code that has to be translated. Each may have dozens of independent voice personalities for liners, ID's, and other voice announce audio. Like input sources, voices and relay functions are referenced using real names instead of computer codes.
