Need the benefits of digital server technology and the on-air software to take advantage of them? Meet the Hewlett-Packard MediaStream AirDirect application. When coupled with HP’s disk recorder or server, the HP AirDirect application gets you on air with basic dub-to-air capabilities at a fraction of the cost of full automation packages. You can get started today with Hewlett-Packard MediaStream AirDirect and upgrade to station automation as your needs expand.

Choose the single-PC configuration or take advantage of the dual-PC configuration for the added convenience of locating the dub function in your tape room and the playlist function in master control.
