Preliminary 8-2002 RSHD Smartcaster Installation Manual

Using the above outlined tests you can determine if the Starguide is correctly wired to the

fan out card.

MONITORING STARGUIDE RELAYS

From the RELAY PORT menu, a LEFT ARROW key will bring you the RELAY

STATUS menu, when this is active, you normally see four underscores on the display.

When the home office calls for a relay, you will see the line change into a number for the

most part of one second, and then revert to the dash.

Here is where it gets weird! If the audio you are taking is a mono right or mono left

program, the relays may not match your audio, in other words, with different programs

on the left and right audio outputs, relay 1 and 2 MAY be for the audio on the LEFT, and

relays 3 and 4 for the RIGHT, but that is optional! So testing is needed to be sure this is

correct.

Also note: that just because one program uses relay 2 for spots, and relay 1 for the time

sync, another program may relay two for liners, and relay 3 AND 4 for spots. To save a

LOT of confusion, I have often wired the audio from one card to two different audio

inputs on the RIDZ, just so that the input closure maps can be tailored for the individual

program. Closure Inputs Maps are specific to a RIDZ channel, and are not changeable at

this time. This means that one card in a Starguide could be wired to four different audio

inputs, and it is possible to run out of inputs on the RIDZ. There are methods to deal

with this without adding another RIDZ, but you need to call support and discuss this issue

with us if it ever comes up.

TONE DECODERS

The Smartcaster does not have any tone decoding equipment built into it. <With the

exception of the Smarttouch Telephone System.> if you are using an analog audio

source, autocoupler, SPCP decoder, sub carrier channels or other programming source, be

sure you have a method to decode the control closures.

At one time or another, Westwood One, Premier, ABC, NBC, CBS and the other

program syndicators all have had programs that used various tone systems, some based

on DTMF Touch Tones, some on 25, 35 55 hz sub audible signals, a few even based on

15 kHz signals, and some FSK data transmissions right in the audio chain.
