The UoC Radio Station Project
Technical overview of an FM radio station based on open source and DIY
- Track: Open Media devroom
- Room: H.1309 (Van Rijn)
- Day: Saturday
- Start: 17:30
- End: 17:55
In this talk we will present the technical challenges we have encountered while building an FM & web radio station from scratch and the innovative solutions that we have applied to them, utilizing open source software, and - where possible - hardware, as well as developing our own components, such as our software FM MPX signal generator, our producer-friendly GTK desktop application and many more. Furthermore, we will elaborate on the technical processes of building a music and sample library using open-source software and services, and how we utilize this library to produce an automated broadcast using our custom GStreamer-based audio clip scheduler.
The University of Crete (UoC) Radio Station is a non-profit, community-driven radio station developed primarily by students and alumni of the University of Crete, in the university’s campus. The station, as a community, is founded on the concepts of DIY and Open Source in all of its aspects, from the operation & organizational structure of the community to the very technical problems, where we choose to use open source, community-driven software, hardware and services and build things ourselves from scratch where it’s possible.
