Hardata Hdx - Radio

If you are a community station, a church broadcaster, or a small commercial station looking for 99.999% uptime without paying for a massive server cluster, the HARdata HDX is your answer.

For those unfamiliar, the HDX is a professional, software-based radio automation system designed for 24/7 operation. It isn’t just a music player; it is a complete studio-in-a-box solution.

A: Yes, but for professional use (PFL/Cue), you need a multi-output card (like an ASIO interface or a 4-output USB mixer). The HDX expects 2 separate stereo pairs: "Program Out" (On Air) and "Headphone/Cue" (Preview).

Always use the "Clock" view for your log. It shows you exactly how much time is remaining until the top of the hour, allowing you to manually stretch or shrink breaks to hit the time spot perfectly.

The HDX has a built-in "Secondary" mode. Run two PCs. If the main dies, the secondary takes over seamlessly. Do not skip this if you run 24/7. Final Verdict Is the HARdata HDX the prettiest software on the market? No. It has a utilitarian, database-driven interface that looks like it was built in the early 2000s (because it was). But does it work? Absolutely.
