What is Op-X?

Figure 1: The Op-X Studio Client is simple and intuitive, yet powerful
at the same time.

Op-X is a new, feature packed broadcast automation system from BSI. It was designed from the ground-up to work better than any other platform in a multi-station environment and still work just as competently for a single station.

“From an ease-of-use standpoint Op-X is an amazing system.” - Dave Dillon, Program Director at Jack-FM, Houston.

Op-X is easy to use and powerful. Talent will appreciate its intuitive on-air environment with full touch screen capability, simple yet powerful voicetracking, and easy to use interface.

Engineers will enjoy Op-X because it’s easy to install and maintain, has automatic backup features, a built in clock builder for simple handling of intense satellite broadcasts, and versatility of installation. Station managers will love it for its relentless up-time.

As shown in figure 2, installation for a single station on a single, stand alone computer is simple.

Installation in a multi-station cluster with multiple stations and redundancy is also easily possible with Op-X's powerful architecture, as shown in figure 3.
