Published: ASIA
MALAYSIA: A recent software upgrade at Star Media Radio Group, a leading Malaysian radio broadcaster, has seen Stagetec Asia improve the broadcaster’s audio logger with Sonifex Flashlog 8. Star Media Radio Group comprises four stations - RedFM, Suria FM, Capital FM and 988 FM – and broadcasts to five million listeners across the Malaysian airwaves.
The Flashlog 8 upgrade reportedly provides the broadcaster with several new features and benefits, including a RAID storage capacity up to 2TB, which can last up to two years of radio broadcast log, states Stagetec Asia.
Additionally, the Flash Log 8 can record up to 64 stereo line channels, 32 stereo FM stations, 32 AM stations, four DAB+ ensembles and 32 internet radio streams. The updated version of Flash Log 8 can also capture up to 16 stereo internet casts and is able to increase or decrease the number of logging days.
‘Despite of having difficulties during the upgrading process, we successfully managed to complete the work on time and without disrupting the radio operation, a necessity when the radio is airing 24 hours a day,’ offered Stagetec Asia technical manager, Yap Wei Keong. ‘Meanwhile, the technical manager at Star Media Radio Group, Anuar Khan, is satisfied with the new Flashlog, commenting that “it looks good and I have not encountered any issues so far. The audio is a lot clearer now”.’
