ON-AIR Pro was first introduced
to the industry in 1997. It is a team effort
where backgrounds in broadcasting, graphic design,
software development, and information technology
come together to provide an enjoyable experience
in the workgroup environment.
The first two versions of ON-AIR Pro were customized
and do not look much like the existing product.
Existing modules at the time were Promos, Tape
Library, Contacts, and Labels. Tape labels
used to be one of the main modules until it became
a plug-in linked to the Tape Library in version
3.0. At the time, we developed a means to track
and report music cue. In
version 2.0 we introduced a new module, Scheduling,
plus the ON-Script and the ON-Cue plug-ins.
Scripts were not linked with the Promos module
in the previous versions, and music cue tracking
had not become a full-fledged plug-in yet.
In version 2.1, we added an Acquisitions plug-in
which is now incorporated in the standard version
of the product. Version 2.5 had an additional
Work Order function, with tag groups and individual
tags, and the ability to track dubs, which later
became the ON-Dubs plug-in. Later
in version, 3.0 we replaced Labels with the Graphics
module as part of the standard version of the
program, and introduced the ON-Dubs, the ON-Slate,
and the ON-Spot plug-ins. Version 3.0 contains
various additional upgrade features and is by
far the most robust and expanded version of the
product.
The majority of our clients upgraded from earlier
versions to 3.0, which was introduced at Promax
2000. The less recent version, 2.5 is still
implemented at a couple of facilities and being
supported as well.
Now in version 4.0, we have embedded
several new
features and a brand new
plug-in
ON-AIR Pro is a well-worth investment.
It is an excellent solution for enterprises hoping
to streamline and organize their promo production
and reduce operations cost in the process.
