CASH Programme Time Reduction Processor

You can use Cash to shorten a programme without having to edit the recording. You can use Cash to catch up time when a programme has overrun. You can use Cash to insert ads, promos and other content into a live programme without losing any of the action.

If you have a programme, news bulletin or traffic report syndicated to a number of stations, you can adjust the duration to fit each station’s slot without editing your material.

Simply tell Cash how much time to save, play out the programme to Cash and record Cash’s output.

If a programme overruns, you can play out the next programme to Cash at the correct start time, and tell Cash how much time to save. The current programme will run to completion, and Cash will then play out the next programme, reducing its duration to fit the available time.

If you run an ad during a live broadcast, such as sports coverage, you can guarantee to catch all the action regardless of when the ad is aired. Tell Cash how long the ad is and when it starts, and Cash will process the programme’s output to fit the schedule, without losing any audio.

Using the parameters you set, Cash produces the highest audio quality with the least perceptible processing. By providing Cash with the length of the insert and the duration of the programme , Cash can calculate the optimum recovery rate and show in advance the likely quality which will be achieved.

As the programme end time approaches, Cash decreases the rate of audio reduction to ensure that there are no noticable changes in tempo. Cash will recover 2-3 minutes in an hour completely inaudibly, and can recover up to 10 minutes in the hour with good results, depending upon the original material.

The front panel controls are augmented by four function keys, each of which stores the insert, hold and programme times for a chosen event, and is used to quickly recall these parameters rather than manually setting them on each use. A GPI interface provides remote start, hold, stop and function selection, plus a facility to start Cash without starting time reduction - useful as a profanity delay.

The RS232 serial interface provides comprehensive setup and control of Cash, and the
