Music or sound editing software package

Description

NRK needs a new flexible, dynamic and redundant system for distributing live radio programmes to the distribution platforms for DAB, DVB and the Internet, with insert points and surveillance/monitoring. The current system has limited capacity, flexibility and functionality. NRK needs to procure a new system that will replace some of the current system, and, at the same time, introduce new functionality. The system will use the sound signal from the core system and distribute these sound signals via insert points to the different platforms. The system will be used to make sound signal chains typically consisting of a sound processor and a watermark insert. The system must be able to convert the source format to the required format on the platforms. The system must monitor silence and errors in the sound input, report back to the operators in the software and as physical relay output. The system will be operated from the main control room (MCR) for radio and maintenance personnel, and it must have a static configuration. Under normal operations it will only be used for surveillance/monitoring. Configuration changes will only be made during maintenance and error situations.
