About · Pro-Cast Studio

One studio. Six connected apps.

Pro-Cast Studio is a suite of small, focused apps for radio and TV studios. They share a single account, a single config and a single realtime channel — so a change in one app shows up in the others immediately. Here's what each one does and how they fit together.

Tool 01

Studio Clock

Open Studio Clock

What it does — The master on-air display: large LED clock, lamps, VU meters, now-playing readout and DTMF trigger handling for jingles, splits and opt-outs.

How it connects — Acts as the master device. Every other tool that needs to talk to the studio (Lamp Control, Show Planner pager) reads and writes through the same shared studio configuration this app owns.

Tool 02

Show Planner

Open Show Planner

What it does — Plan a radio hour by stacking songs, adverts, trails and links so you can see the running order at a glance.

How it connects — A planning surface that feeds the Back-Timer — items you stack here can be sent across so you can back-time them to the top of the hour.

Tool 03

Back-Timer

Open Back-Timer

What it does — Live back-timer that adds up element durations and shows exactly when you'll hit Top of Hour.

How it connects — Pairs with the Show Planner for the running order, and with the Studio Clock so the on-air operator can see the same TOH target.

Tool 04

VT Clock

Open VT Clock

What it does — Retro countdown clock for VT play-in — lineup tone, slate, captions and MP4 / PNG export from a shared clock library.

How it connects — Clocks you build here are saved to your shared library so any machine signed in to the same account can pull them up, and exports drop straight into your playout.

Tool 05

Lamp Control

Open Lamp Control

What it does — Phone-friendly remote that mirrors the Studio Clock lamps so anyone in the building can toggle them, page the studio screen, and (optionally) drive real lamps through a USB relay.

How it connects — Reads the same lamp state as the Studio Clock in real time. Toggles on the phone update the on-air display instantly, and pager messages scroll across the Studio Clock's feed area.

Tool 06

Split Manager

Open Split Manager

What it does — One place to manage every DTMF split: enable detection, pick per-area audio, decide whether the master jingle fills the rest of the network, and trim each split's output level.

How it connects — Reads and writes the shared DTMF triggers used by the Studio Clock — changes take effect on every studio screen immediately.

How it all hangs together

The Studio Clock is the master. It owns the shared config — lamps, DTMF triggers, jingles, locations and the network base feed — and broadcasts state changes to every other signed-in device in real time.

  • Lamp Control reads and writes the same lamp state as the Studio Clock, plus pages the on-air screen and (optionally) drives a USB relay so real lamps light up.
  • Show Planner and Back-Timer share a running order so you can plan an hour and back-time it to the top without re-keying anything.
  • VT Clock saves clocks to a shared library across every signed-in machine and exports straight to MP4 / PNG.
