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.
