Burli can record multiple audio streams 24/7/365, giving journalists confidence the audio they need is always available.

	The news logger lets users preview, edit or broadcast audio while it is being continuously recorded.

Catch everything
Think how useful it would be to know you've always got audio from breaking news events: constantly record a television news channel or audio satelite feed with the news logger and when there's breaking news your news team is guaranteed the audio they need is already a mouse click away. Or record and monitor your competition, record your television affiliate's audio feed, or record your own air feed so your newsroom has access to every interview from every program the moment it airs. Whatever you record it's instantly available to all your reporters at their desks with a mouse click or two.

Easy access
It's one thing to record everything, it's another to make it quick and easy to find. Burli's news logger lets journalists grab audio with drag-and-drop ease from the main screen. Find audio by feed, time, markers, or preset markers and drag it directly into your work. No more transferring audio from separate logger applications or wading through thousands of files on disk.

Instant Access
The logger audio is available across your whole newsroom network the moment it's recorded, meaning audio from a live news event can be edited and included in a bulletin mere seconds after it happens and while your competition is still trying to work out how to record the event. Burli's true edit-while-record architecture means there's virtually no delay between the recording and users being able to listen to, edit or broadcast the audio.

Flexible data
Choose your audio format to suit your needs and balance audio quality with storage space.

Data management
Constant recording can mean a lot of audio data, even if you record it in a compressed format like MP3. Burli lets you decide whether to write the audio to the recording workstation or a dedicated media server; either way it's accessible to users across your network. And, of course, Burli manages the audio data, deleting it once it's no longer needed.

Marking events
While logging, Burli can add markers to an audio stream when it detects the tones or contact closures that sometimes indicate the beginning and end of audio feeds. Or it can add markers at a preset time - the start of a given talk show, for instance. And, of course, users can add markers manually in real-time when they hear something significant in a press conference, or a goal in a game, for example. Markers make it simple for any user to find the audio again whether it's 10 seconds or 10 hours later.

Selective Recording
Of course you don't have to record everything from a certain source if you're only interested in a few minutes of it each day. The logger can be scheduled to start and stop recording based on clock time, external trigger, audio threshold or some combination.

Other uses
Burli's news logger is a tool for journalists, but a powerful logger can be handy in any station. Because it can play audio while it is still recording it, you can use the news logger to time-shift broadcasts, even by a few seconds. Or use the news logger as a skimmer for the studio microphone or newsroom telephone. Or you might even want ot use it as a set-and-forget digital recorder for your own archives.
