It’s possible it could work. It all depends on the frame size and compression. I had gotten one that wasn’t too bad, but then convinced the client to get a BetaSP dub instead. After all of your processing and then your videotape processing to get it into your playback system, then your transmitter… it will degrade.

Thanks guys! That is what I was thinking. I’ll check with the station. This is kind of a grey area… I heard from an ad agency that deals with a large radio group that it’s probably best not to use the music, but the music is what a radio station is all about. They noted that it would be best to contact the agencies involved with the artists…
I’m thinking I may want to avoid some of the bigger artists – Elvis, Sinatra, Beatles. Although they are the ones that would promote the station best. Or play it safe and just do a 50s/60s image spot with library music.

>>>Either find the $$ to get proper rights to any music & album covers that you want to use, or find some other music & visual that’s within the budget.<<< Well - I thought (hoped), there may be a way to use a radio stations playlist to promote the radio station on television. I see it done frequently. I don't know if the producers of those ads purchased rights or not. This is what I would like to find out. I'm already working on alternative options. TC

Thanks Frank. Yup, I’m the creative. I was thinking about some old cars and having people dressed up. I’d like to be able to utilize the music… I’m not exactly comfortable with it, since I’ve heard from so many sources that using even a small portion of it is a no-no. And for good reason. Hopefully I’ll be able to get some more definitive answers from other sources.

>>>Don;t let them bamboozle you about the rights being cleared: it’s your butt on the line along with theirs if it’s not, so CHECK IT. <<< Exactly Mark, that's why I'm hoping someone may have experience in this area. Their playlist is Crooners kind of music (Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin), the other station is 50s, 60s, & 70s rock - Lots of Elvis. So I don't need to worry about it getting old quickly, but I would love to use some of the old music and album covers. I've seen commercials for classic rock stations that do this sort of thing (Eagles tunes and AC/DC tunes), but I know there has to be some legalities to using this stuff. If I don't find out anything, you bet I'm not using the stuff. But I'm sure someone has some experience with this. I may need to ask in another forum... TC

Check out the Aja site a little bit. You’ll find that Kona and Io most definitely have XLR audio input and output.
