Section 1.0 Introducing Rivendell

Rivendell is a digital audio content management and delivery system that is targeted for

use in professional radio broadcast environments. It includes robust tools for the

acquisition, organization, management and play out of audio material from and to a

diverse array of sources and destinations. Support for a wide variety of external third

party hardware devices and software packages commonly used in the radio industry is

featured, including interfaces for:

● Audio Routing Switchers

● Satellite Down Link Receivers

● Audio Mixing Consoles

● Commercial Traffic and Music Scheduling Systems

Rivendell is made available under the terms of the GNU General Public License version 2

(GPLv2), a copy of which can be found in Appendix A. As such, it comes with

absolutely no warranty, not even the implied warranties of merchantability or fitness for

a particular purpose. See the full text of the GPLv2 for details.

Rivendell has been designed and developed from the ground up to run on the popular and

highly stable GNU/Linux

operating system. Selected tools (mostly having to do with

log generation) have also been ported to run in the Microsoft Windows

environment as

well. Full source code as well as binary installation packages for Windows and select

Linux distributions are available on line. Consult the Rivendell Technical and

Administration Guide for details.

Rivendell has been designed to be able to operate in a wide variety of roles, ranging from

single, self-contained workstations to large, multi-station clusters consisting of multiple

workstations and centralized servers. Also included are redundancy and hot-standby

capabilities to allow for reliable operation even in the presence of hardware faults.

Details can be found in the Rivendell Technical and Administration Guide.

Rivendell is implemented as a set of interactive tools or 'modules' that collectively

provide the complete functionality of the system. Briefly, these modules and their

functions are:

RDAdmin – System wide configuration

RDLibrary – Library content management

RDCatch – Automatic event scheduler

RDAirPlay – On-air play out application

RDLogEdit – Simple log editing tool

RDLogManager – Automated log generation and interface utility

RDLogin – Set the current user on a Rivendell host
