Remote Operations

Unattended Remotes from the Breaklog

You will need to put a series of commands in your breaklog to perform an automated remote from a Marti.

00131   Net05 Wt130   00231   Net01

• Wt130 tells the Smartcaster to WAIT for 1 minute and 30 seconds.
• Net05 switches the RIDZ to channel 5
• Net01 switches the RIDZ back to the channel of the music network.

These commands must be entered into the breaklog from the BREAKS screen. They can not be passed from a traffic system.

• Alt-W enters a WAIT command in the breaklog. You then enter in the time of the wait in minutes and seconds. (i.e. 130 for one and a half minutes, 300 for three minutes, 045 for 45 seconds and etc.)
• Ctrl-N enters in a NET command into the breaklog. You then enter in the i.e. Switcher channel that you wish to switch to.

If you want to add a music bed under the remote you would record a music bed to a cut number and give it a short EOM (i.e. one second) and then time it out to the exact length of the remote. You would schedule it as follows:

M0001   Wt130   Net05   00231   Net01

The music will begin playing and at the EOM will hit the wait command and un-mute to channel 5 on the un-mute. Once the wait command is done it will go on to the next spot, mute channel 5 and proceeded on through the breaklog as usual.
