Radio World this month introduces you in more depth to the recipients of our 2010 “Cool Stuff” Award.

Burk’s AutoPilot 2010 enables multi-site, PC-based facilities management for the line of Burk remote controls, including ARC Plus, ARC-16, GSC3000 and VRC2500.

It has a customizable interface that helps you manage remote sites. Reports can be tailored to individual needs, and can be printed automatically or e-mailed as a PDF to you or other station personnel. AutoPilot 2010 includes network management functionality, “bridging the gap between broadcast and IT by including SNMP and ping with traditional I/O,” as Burk puts it.

Our judges loved Burk’s Jet Active Flowcharts, which are available as an extension to AutoPilot 2010. These make automatic intelligent site control easier. Broadcasters can design a range of automatic functions by drawing simple flowcharts to describe how the remote control should respond to different conditions.

Celebrating are Stephen Dinkel, Barbara Roche, Jonathan Burk and Peter Burk.
