a complete Radio station in one package...
Xtreme is a powerful Windows based automation system that is perfect for live on air, live assist, hard disk automation, and satellite automation. It comes with Windows software and the 'Bridge' hardware to create a complete workstation... just add PC computer. You can provide your own PC or Arrakis can provide a fully tested PC for you. Xtreme is designed for use with Windows XP, the most powerful and reliable Windows operating system on the market. With complete On air, scheduling, and production features, Xtreme is literally a complete radio station in a box.

Many Studios, one price...
When you purchase a single Xtreme solutions program, you can use the Digilink-Xtreme software in other studios for no additional charge. While Xtreme is a complete radio station on just a single PC, it is often desireable for scheduling functions and auxiliary studio functions to be performed on PCs in other rooms in the station. To accomplish that,
Xtreme software configures itself for the application. If in the On Air studio and connected to Bridge hardware, Xtreme operates in the 'Xtreme-air' mode with complete functionality. If in the Newsroom or out on a Remote and not connected to Bridge hardware, Xtreme operates in the 'Xtreme-studios' mode. In this mode, the Bridge functionality is removed and the library is reconfigured appropriate for a support studio instead of main On Air. For simplicity of use in the Traffic scheduling office, an 'X-sched' mode is a setup option which configures Xtreme to only display the scheduling & log screens. As an added bonus, the Xtreme solutions program provides a standalone software product (X-edit & X-Edit-pro) that is designed for dubbing and post-production to easily convert audio files produced outside Xtreme into the Xtreme audio & data format. Xtreme provides On Air, News, Remote, Scheduling and Dubbing studios so that Xtreme can be a single PC radio station or a multi-studio networked station for a single low price.

The libraries are provided only to licensed radio stations and are not for private use.
only $500 per library


sophisticated features...
Xtreme has all of the capabilities required for on air, production and scheduling. It requires no special sound cards. Xtreme is dual play for both on air and cueing. The on air audio output can be any mix of 3 audio files in linear, MP2, or MP3 compression formats.


Xtreme supports the sophisticated features required to allow your automation system to meet any type or style of on air format. Those features include: timed events, drop events for overscheduling, autofill of missing or out of date carts, RS232 serial control events, random liner events, and much more.

Xtreme also features the advanced screens for scheduling, production, and logging illustrated on this page.

Xtreme is ideal for hard disk audio based radio. In this type of station configuration, all on air audio events are produced or recorded to hard disk and then played to air. Direct source events such as network feeds are not physically switched to air but are recorded and delayed. This type of disk based automation allows greater control of your on air sound.

If control of external sources such as network feeds is desireable, the Bridge has all of the switcher and logic features that are required.


powerful Scheduling
Digilink-Xtreme has a full featured one week schedule system that can create schedules manually or import schedules from 3rd party music and traffic systems. Digilink-Xtreme literally does it all in a single package. Network multiple workstations to create an entire multi-studio radio station.


Flexible Production
For audio production, the built in PC recorder,16 input record input switcher, and timed record features make the system ideal for a News room or Production room.

the 'Bridge' hardware
your radio audio library of songs, spots, beds, jingles, etc are stored on your PC hard drive and then played back through the the Arrakis audio Bridge. The Bridge has all of the switcher and logic hardware required for full satellite automation. The system therefore supports Live On Air operation, Live assist, Hard disk based automation, Satellite automation, or any combination of the above.

The Bridge features dual internal sound cards. These sound cards connect to the PC via USB serial cable so that the audio decoding is done outside the harsh RF environment of the PC.

Digilink-Xtreme is a complete On air, production, and scheduling system in a single package.

The Arrakis 'Bridge' interfaces a standard off the shelf PC with consumer type audio to the professional Radio world of balanced, high level audio. A 16 input by 3 output switcher, full control logic, and dual internal USB sound cards turns an ordinary PC into a professional audio product.
