The Autofill program is a clever way to process audio files together. It is the perfect tool for importing audio files of different formats and/or sources into the RadioAssist database.

Autofill has an automatic mode to run operations continually without human control. It processes the files to convert them as you require, adjusting their sound levels if need be and automatically entering their metadata to the RadioAssist database.

•Input formats allowed: PCM (Wave or AIFF), G711, MPEG1/2 Layers 1/2/3 (Raw, Wave or BWF), AAC (mp4, adts) and other specific formats, including retrieval of metadata, if any.

•Output formats: PCM (Wave, AIFF or BWF), MPEG1/2 (Raw, Wave or BWF).

•Normalization system to ensure overall file consistency.

•Database filled automatically with any existing metadata (i.e. Broadcast Wave Format, BWF).

•Dual database handling (data and files).

•Automatic standby when items are saved or updated in the database.

•Audio file cleaning to prevent occurrence of problems due to corrupt files.

•Multiple profiles management (backup and restoration of configuration profiles).

•Several AutoFill programs can run on the same computer, each with its own options.

•Automatic start depending on presets options.

•Option to send error log to the NETIA Logger Service

•Special plug-in handled.

•Media Management handled (on RTA/RTB/A'able/B'able/RTW flags)(Not available from version 8.2 or higher).

•Double target path handled when database insertion is deactivated.

•XML import.

•Possibility to import non-audio items (picture, video, text) with or without an xml.

Though anyone can use Autofill, its installation requires technical experience, especially of digital audio systems, and should only be undertaken by systems administrators.
