Barrcode Software - BCX - has been in development for over thirty years, starting life controlling CD jukebox's in radio stations. It was then developed into a sophisticated hard disk media playout system used in many of the UK's leading broadcasting organisations including ITV in London.

Technology

The technology was so ground breaking at the time, that it appeared on the BBC's flagship programme

'Tomorrow's World' in 1992. The origin of this technology was conceived by Brian Barr, he was 'head hunted' to take responsibility for the 'build' as Chief Engineer of the new independent local radio station, Radio Broadland, Norwich in the UK.

Brian wanted to replace taped cartridges due to quality, breakage and mislaying problems all associated with the infernal little blue boxes! Computers were becoming a realistic proposition to repalce traditional magnetic tape; Brian had a keen interest in software writing and this was an ideal opportunity for him to develop a system.
