RDS PRO-4

RDS PRO-4

Fully-featured RDS / RBDS Encoding with IP control and LCD:

FLEXIBLE, PROFESSIONAL AND COST-EFFECTIVE



A fully featured, reliable RDS / RBDS encoder. Tired of problems on other low-cost RDS encoders…


Difficult-to-use, unreliable software, unacceptable interference to stereo audio or missing RDS features like EON? Need advanced control features to save the cost of dedicated data and control circuits?


You can solve all these problems and save money at the same time with the RDS PRO-4 encoder.
NOW with basic UECP support for TMC and RT+ applications!


BENEFITS:


• VERY cost effective
• Making life easier for broadcast professionals: quick and easy
hardware integration
• Save time with intuitive, well-developed programming software
• Don’t miss out: feature set includes every RDS function most
stations will ever need
• IP remote control
• LCD enables quick onsite validation of transmitted
data without using a PC


APPLICATIONS:


• RDS / RBDS encoding for stations of all sizes (includes EON)
• Network Radio
• Local / Commercial / Community Radio


FEATURES:


• A properly designed and implemented RDS solution for all FM broadcasters
• Switchable MPX (Composite) loop-through mode
• Maintains programme reliability in loop mode – automatic MPX ‘pass-through’ relays
• IP, RS-232 & USB control based on simple ASCII commands or basic UECP implementation
• Powerful Windows based configuration utility for easy initial setup
• All user adjustments accessible from front/rear panel – no need to take the lid off
• Addressing – independent or common control of up to 255 units in a network
• Advanced weekly scheduling in Stand-Alone and PC-Dependent modes
• Define up to 99 different messages or link to an automation system
• Internal real-time clock with battery backup for correctly inserted clock-time facility
• External contact closure TA switch
• No special 19 kHz input needed – pilot tone recovered from the MPX signal
• Four modes of Dynamic / ‘Scrolling’ PS (where legal)
• LCD display
• Integral IP Ethernet port
