RDS Encoder - Radio data System Encoder (FM) There are 2 models: - Model 1 - RDS module only board - Model 2 - RDS module with enclosure This RDS Encoder is an attractive choice to all radio stations which don't want to burden their budget but still need a flexible RDS encoder with support of all common data formats and RDS services. Effective design based on DSP technology ensures high reliability and gives the user many advanced features while maintaining low acquisition costs. The system is scalable from small local stations to large broadcast networks. Some features are unique: remote output monitoring down to the bit level, direct conversion of XML tagging data to Radiotext Plus, port multiplication thru Windows control software and several others. Due to native RDS2 support, the P164 is future-proof equipment, ready for further enhancements of the FM broadcasting. The RDS encoder supports both dynamic and static operation. The device is equipped with standard analogue interface for seamless integration into the broadcast chain and interchangeability with other brand products. The device is compatible with P132 family. Features: Fully dynamic stand-alone FM broadcast RDS encoder with two independent communication ports USB connectivity for local settings and maintenance purposes Ethernet connectivity for linking with Windows application or broadcast automation system Control interface supports all common communication protocols, incl. ASCII and UECP Text features include dynamic PS, parsing, scrolling, tagging, fixed messages and scheduling Excellent compatibility with broadcast automation systems Supports remote output monitoring and station logo *) Switchable subcarrier configuration (RDS or RDS2) Simply to use RDS services directly supported by the unit - PI Program Identification RT Radiotext - PS Program Service RT+ Radiotext Plus - PTY Program Type M/S Music/Speech - TP Traffic Program CT Clock-Time and Date - TA Traffic Announcement UDG User Defined Groups (ODA) - AF Alternative Frequencies ECC Extended Country Code - PTYN Program Type Name LIC Language Identification Code - DI Decoder Identification TMC Traffic Message Channel - EON Enhanced Other Networks information - (The RDS services are described in Support) Technical specifications - Supply voltage and current: 12 V DC stabilized, 150 mA - RDS/RBDS signal: conforms to CENELEC EN 50067 / EN 62106 - Output level of RDS: adjustable from 0.0 to 4.0 V p-p in 256 steps - Pilot tone level: min. 120 mV p-p or MPX - Signal connectors: unbalanced, BNC - Data connectors: Ethernet RJ-45, USB B-type - Program sets: 2 - UECP protocol support: PI, PS, TA/TP, DI, MS, PTY, RT, X-Command, TMC, 0D, 1C, 24, 40, 42 **) - ASCII protocol support: Yes - Case: aluminum compact case, 107x150x35 mm - Recommended power supply: wall mount adapter 12V/1A DC, 2.1x5.5mm barrel plug (+) inside The price for Model 1 is 240 Euro The price for Model 2 is 290 Euro For European Union customers not B2B need add 22% for VAT Available: 1/2 weeks Options: - Power supply : 16 Euro - USB or RS230 cable 7.5 Euro
