Configuring Reports in Rivendell
|
||||
|
||||
Following are some filter-specific notes concerning configuring
|
||||
reports in Rivendell:
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
CBSI DeltaFlex
|
||||
Report files should be named according to the following scheme:
|
||||
|
||||
<ii><yy><mm><dd>.201
|
||||
|
||||
where:
|
||||
<ii> -- the two digit Station ID of the corresponding CBSI system.
|
||||
This same value should be set in the 'Station ID' field of the
|
||||
report configuration.
|
||||
|
||||
<yy> -- The last two digits of the year.
|
||||
|
||||
<mm> -- The two digit month, in the range 01 - 12.
|
||||
|
||||
<dd> -- The two digit day, in the range 01 - 31.
|
||||
|
||||
Thus, for example, for a system with a station ID of '01', the name
|
||||
part of the export path would be: '01%y%m%d.201'.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
ASCAP/BMI Electronic Music Reports
|
||||
Sometimes also known as the "Paris" format, these reports can be
|
||||
directly submitted to ASCAP/BMI as part of their EMR (Electronic Music
|
||||
Reporting) initiatives. For more information, see:
|
||||
|
||||
http://www.ascap.com/licensing/radio/
|
||||
http://emr.bmi.com/
|
||||
|
||||
When setting up generation of an ASCAP/BMI Music Report, output files
|
||||
should be named in the scheme:
|
||||
|
||||
<id><yy><mm>.emr
|
||||
|
||||
where:
|
||||
<id> -- Your identifier string (assigned by ASCAP/BMI). Normally,
|
||||
this will be a station's call letters.
|
||||
|
||||
<yy> -- The last two digits of the year for the data covered in the
|
||||
report.
|
||||
|
||||
<mm> -- The two digit month for the data covered in the report, in
|
||||
the range 01 - 12.
|
||||
|
||||
Thus, for a station called 'WAVA', the 'Station ID' box in the Edit
|
||||
Report dialog would be set to 'WAVA', and the name part of the export
|
||||
path would be: 'wava%y%m.emr'.
|
||||
|
||||
You will also need to specify a 'Station Type' and 'Station Format'
|
||||
for the report. 'Station Type' is self-explanatory, while 'Station
|
||||
Format' is simply a phrase describing the programming format of the
|
||||
station --e.g. "Jazz", "Top Country", etc.
|
||||
|
||||
Another setting that will effect any Music Reports generated is the
|
||||
'Usage' field on the Cart Label in RDLibrary. You should set the
|
||||
value for each cart to best reflect the use that is made of the
|
||||
material in it.
|
||||
|
||||
Music Reports are customarily generated on a monthly basis, so when
|
||||
generating one in RDLogManger, be sure to select the first and last
|
||||
days of the month in question for the 'Start Date' and 'End Date'
|
||||
respectively, otherwise the resulting report may not include all of
|
||||
the relevant playout activity.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
SoundExchange Statutory License Report
|
||||
This report can be imported into a spreadsheet program (such as
|
||||
OpenOffice.org or Excel) and then saved as an 'XLS' file, which can then be
|
||||
directly submitted to SoundExchange to satisfy their reporting
|
||||
requirements for streaming music on the Internet. When configuring
|
||||
the report in RDAdmin->ManageReports, fill in the fields as follows:
|
||||
|
||||
Station ID: The "Name of Service" as assigned by SoundExchange.
|
||||
This will normally be the name of the entity operating
|
||||
the service -- e.g. "SALEM COMMUNICATIONS".
|
||||
|
||||
Service Name: The "Channel Name" of the service, as assigned by
|
||||
SoundExchange. For radio staions, this will normally be
|
||||
the station's call letters -- e.g. "WAVA-FM".
|
||||
|
||||
Station Format: The "Transmission Category" of the service. This is
|
||||
a single-letter code assigned by the U.S. Copyright
|
||||
Office. For a list of possible values, see:
|
||||
http://www.copyright.gov/fedreg/2004/69fr11515.pdf
|
||||
|
||||
When generating a report in RDLogManager->ManageReports, the system
|
||||
will prompt for an 'Aggreggate Tuning Hours (ATH)' value for the
|
||||
report period. This is a measure of the total amount of listenership
|
||||
to the audio stream, and can normally be obtained from your streaming
|
||||
provider.
