Which software does StreamAds require? You have three choices:
Option 1:	SAM Broadcaster Run SAM Broadcaster, Spacial Audio's complete automation solution developed specifically with the internet broadcaster in mind. SAM Broadcaster has StreamAds built-in. Simply configure it and go! Read more about SAM Broadcaster here.
Option 2:	StreamAds enable your existing automation system If you are using another automation system (AudioVault, NextGen, Scotts, etc.) then you will need the Spacial adaptor application called SOS (Stream Overlay System). SOS is especially suited for terrestrial broadcasters. When required, it replaces over-the-air commercials with an internet-only version provided by StreamAds. SOS works with all known automation systems - no change is required in the way you run your station. SOS is just one of the many reasons why StreamAds has been adopted by hundreds of radio stations to monetize their internet streaming. Read more about SOS here.
Option 3:	Custom StreamAds interface If you would like to enhance your system with ad-insertion or ad-replacement technologies, please talk to us - we will develop a custom StreamAds interface for you.
