StarCaster® ATIS4 Broadcast System
StarCaster® Automated ATIS Broadcast System
The StarCaster® Automated ATIS Broadcast System is based on the award-winning technology and superior quality speech output generated from the original StarCaster® Text-to-Speech System. The StarCaster® Automated ATIS System offers a completely packaged digital automated terminal information service product to the aviation industry. The D-ATIS functionality eliminates human transcription errors while enhancing flight safety and reducing flight crew workload.
The StarCaster ATIS System provides a high quality, fully automated replacement to manually-produced ATIS broadcasts, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. The system is designed to automatically receive ATIS weather information from the airport facility's weather data source (i.e. N-TFS, AFTN, AWOS/ASOS, IDS-5, other network connections). This weather information is then used to produce voice output for the ATIS broadcasts, according to user specifications.
