Campcaster is a free software radio management application, providing live studio broadcast capabilities as well as the remote automation in one integrated system. The scalability of Campcaster allows implementation in a number of use scenarios, ranging from an unmanned broadcast unit accessed from remote through the Internet to a local network of Campcaster machines inside a radio station handling live broadcasts and delivering program automation by accessing a central audio storage system. Campcaster is capable of combining local audio files and remote web streams, supporting the widely used MP3 format and the open equivalent (Ogg)Vorbis.

As in all Campware products, multilinguality is a central feature in Campcaster: virtually everything in the user interface can be translated into any language using Unicode. Multilinguality is implemented in all levels of the user interface as well as for the metadata for audio files in the storage system.

Campcaster has been designed for a Linux environment. However, the developers have built it on top of standardized, cross-platform classes. Such architecture allows porting of Campcaster to different operating systems in the future.
