To avoid performance issues with PlayoutONE we only support PCs that meet the following software and hardware specifications:

PlayoutONE Standard

• Operating System: Windows 10 or 11
• Processor: Intel i5 8th Generation or later / Ryzen 5 3rd Generation.
• Memory: 8GB
• Hard Drive: 250GB SSD

PlayoutONE Standard will not install on computers that already have other radio automation software installed on them that use SQL Server 2019.

PlayoutONE Pro

• Operating System: Windows 10 Pro
• Processor: Intel i5 8th Generation or AMD Ryzen 5 3rd Generation for Studio PCs.
  Intel i7 8th Generation or AMD Ryzen 7 3rd Generation for Servers.
• Memory: 8GB for Studio PCs. 16GB for Servers.
• Hard Drive: PlayoutONE needs around 1gb of space to operate. You then need enough storage on your hard drive for
  PlayoutONE to make a copy of each file you import. We, therefore, recommend at least 1TB of storage space.
• WebVT: PlayoutONE WebVT Server requires Windows 10 Pro or Server 2016 to operate. The WebVT Client is currently compatible with both Mac, Linux & Windows versions of Mozilla Firefox and Google Chrome.

Please note Mac OS is not supported by PlayoutONE.

In addition to the Title and Artist rotation values of the individual types you can set templates to choose based on type and / or category so you can really get specific when it comes to audio selection. That said the AutoDJ is only a basic selection system but it still is a very powerful feature.

Yes. Using the AutoDJ you can design templates for selecting audio and then switch it on. Audio selected obeys Title and Artist rotation values which you set for each type. So for example an item type Song could have a Title rotation of 20 minutes and an Artist rotation of 60 minutes whereas the item type Jingle could have a Title rotation of 10 minutes but an Artist rotation of 1 minute.

Switch on the AutoDJ and PlayoutONE will intelligently loop through the selected template to choose the audio to play.
