Architecture ​

Hierarchy ​

The platform organizes content in a three-level structure:

  • Project - Top-level container for a radio operation
  • Station - Individual broadcast endpoint within a project
  • Media Library, Scheduling, Studio - Working areas within a station

A project can contain multiple stations. Each station operates independently with its own content, schedule, and stream configuration.
