Single-Channel-With-Record AirPlay MP Overview
Avid AirPlay MP is a disk-based, random-access playback system. As
a replacement for the traditional video cassette library system,
AirPlay MP automates the scheduling and playback of short
segments, including news stories, commercials, promotional material,
and other broadcast audio and video. A functional diagram of the
single-channel-with-record AirPlay MP system is shown in Figure 3-1.
