‘Free’ Digilink-Xtreme (ARC mode) software
Arrakis Systems and ‘Free’ Digilink software
Arrakis has a long history of providing free on air & production software to the radio industry as promotional and support products
for our core business: Digilink-Free, Xtreme-Studios, Xedit-pro, X-sched, and now Xtreme (ARC mode).
Xtreme for the ARC console is designed to be Easy to Use
Xtreme for the ARC console is a powerful live on air, basic automation, and recording program that meets many station’s needs and
is a useful promotional tool for our ARC-10 console line. It is specifically designed to be easy to use to reduce the operational learn-
ing curve and eliminate customer service.
How Xtreme works with an ARC console
Xtreme for the ARC console is actually the full current version of Arrakis Xtreme software. When a PC running Arrakis’ full version
Digilink-Xtreme software is connected by a USB cable to an ARC-10UP or ARC-10BP console, the software recognizes the console
and self-configures for the features appropriate for the ARC console.
Xtreme for the ARC console will only function with an ARC console
The Xtreme software provided with the ARC-10UP and ARC-10BP console models will function only when connected to an ARC-10 con-
sole. Because the software is actually the full version of Arrakis Xtreme automation software, it will run in the Xtreme-Studios
mode if the software is run without an ARC console.
The ARC-10 is a Windows compatible soundcard that supports most Windows Audio software
The electronics in the ARC-10 emulates a USB HID compatible sound card. A Windows PC will recognize the card and most Windows
compatible software will be able to play and record from the ARC console.
Customer Support
Digilink Xtreme (ARC mode) software for the ARC console is provided at no charge and does not include the cost of telephone sup-
port. The software is specifically designed to be easy to use for people with average PC computer and radio industry experience.

a short History of Digilink
Arrakis has been building hard disk automation systems since the early 1990s under the family name of Digilink. More than 4,000 DL1,
2, 3 & 4 systems have been sold. In 2001, Arrakis introduced a Windows automation program named Digilink-Free. As its name
implies, this software was free. More than 10,000 copies of the program have been downloaded. In 2004, Arrakis introduced Digilink-
Xtreme which is a full featured version of Digilink-Free and costs $100 per month. Digilink-Free has since been replaced by Digilink-
Xtreme(studios mode) which is also free. In 2003, Arrakis introduced X-edit as a free production tool in support of our Xtreme
automation systems. As of today, Digilink-Xtreme is one of the top radio automation systems in the world and the free software that
we provide in support of Xtreme have proven to be valuable tools for many radio stations around the world.
