Direct recording function

The Technomad Schedulon™ combines two critical audio functions in a compact package:
virtually unlimited recording / on-demand playback AND scheduling of sounds for automatic, unattended
playback. The Schedulon can be used for ʻon-the-flyʼ playback of pre-recorded announcements or sound
effects from the instant access knob, but also used for scheduled playback of sound files.

Instant playback: you can assign audio files to any of ninety-nine playback ʻslotsʼ on the knob - and set a
playback mode (loop, once, or play-while-hold) for each slot. This allows warning announcements or sirens
to loop indefinitely, songs to play one time and stop, and sound effects to be performed via holding in the

knob for as long as the sound is desired.

Scheduled playback: up to 100 lines of automatic playback can be scheduled, specifying the sound file,
time to start, time to stop, interval (i.e. every 5 minutes), and number of repeats. You can set sounds to play
on specific dates, specific days of the week, weekends, or weekdays. It is simple to build complex schedules
of announcements, bells or carillon sounds, SFX, etc. Scheduled sounds are interrupted if a front-knob (i.e.
emergency evacuation) sound is selected, but resume playback after front-knob-selected playback stops.

Managment: the Schedulon can be remotely managed via web-browser(audio uploaded or deleted, sched-
ule edited, sounds triggered, knob assignments changed), or completely programmed using only the knob
and screen. No special software or computer type is required - just a modern browser. Sound playback can

be triggered or stopped by simple HTML CGI commands if desired.

Recording: the Schedulon can record audio via its stereo input - audio is encoded as 192 kbps MP3, and
