I think it is called "Captain Digital." I hear it is European software which Scott bought and modified for the states. I bet he will be at NAB with a booth.
I have a contract station that is trying the new weather stuff he is selling. They also put the automation program on the system for a test run. We have not tried the automation....we are still trying to get the weather box to work correctly.

Did a little reading up on "Captain Digital" last night... looks interesting, the price is definately right, starting at $995? It's even got it's own scheduler - although I don't see any commercial stations wanting to take advantage of that feature... how would you run billing?! I worked at a station that uses Dave Scott's SS32 system, and I really did like that piece of software. It sure looks like he stuck close with a lot of the same features and concepts that the SS32 software had and stuck them into Captain Digital. How does the licensing for Captain Digital work? With his SS32 system there was a PB.Ini file coded to the specific sound card in the stations' on air machine, so if that sound card failed, you were out to lunch. Is this different? I will tell you, I have also worked with that Maestro system that is now part of dmarc, and boy is that a steaming pile. Ok, that's my humble opinion.

I think he has a USB dongle....dunno though....I havn't tried the automation yet.
Cox radio in Atlanta uses Maestro....the chief is a Maestro guru so I think their system works.I think Radio One in Atlanta also uses it. Can't be THAT bad!
