CastAway is your remote broadcasting companion for AutoCast. It lets you monitor your station, fire cart buttons, control automation, and go live on the air — all from a web browser. No special software to install. Just log in, click the CastAway tab, and you're on.
Whether you're at a county fair with an iPad, calling a ball game from the press box, or doing the morning show from your favorite cafe, CastAway puts your station in your hands.
CastAway is a remote faceplate for AutoCast. It doesn't run your station — AutoCast does that. CastAway simply shows you what AutoCast is doing and lets you send commands back. Think of it as a smart handset connected to the switchboard at the station.
When you log in, AutoCast sends you the current state: what's playing, what's coming up, your ButtonPad buttons, the weather, and a live audio feed of the station. When you press a button, CastAway sends the button ID back to AutoCast, which does the actual work. CastAway never needs to know what a button does — it just draws it and reports when you click it.
The connection between your browser and the station is brokered by TuneTracker's relay server. Your browser talks to the relay; the station's TuneTracker Go! talks to the same relay. Neither side needs to know the other's IP address or open any ports. It just works, from anywhere on the internet.
CastAway is designed for one-person remote broadcasts. You don't need an engineer, a truck, or any hardware beyond a laptop and a microphone. Everything you need fits in a bag.

CastAway was designed with a simple principle: the station runs itself. AutoCast handles all the intelligence — scheduling, playback, crossfades, time corrections, weather forecasts. CastAway just gives you a window into that world and a way to interact with it.
This means if your internet connection drops at the county fair, AutoCast keeps playing. The station never goes silent because of a CastAway disconnection. When your connection comes back, CastAway reconnects automatically and picks up where you left off.
