Title: Demo Encoder: Troubleshooting connection issues to 3rd party UECP-based encoders
Post by: Jan on November 11, 2024, 11:07:28 am

Did you know that the Magic RDS 4 includes a full-featured software based RDS encoder? You may use it for various purposes like for troubleshooting connection issues to 3rd party UECP-based encoders. The application indicates connection status in the Virtual Ports section and can log data from any input/output. Built-in RDS Spy decoder shows listener's RDS data in real time.

• Add new connection: Kind RDS Encoder, Model DEMO Encoder.
• Run the Demo Encoder
• Turn on the Communication Monitor
• Click on the Virtual Ports button and add new virtual port. Use the same or similar parameters like on your real RDS encoder.
• Click on the RX Monitor to enable logging of incoming data
• Connect from your application to the Virtual Port. Use the IP address of the Magic RDS PC.
• Click on the RDS Spy button to see the listener's RDS data.

Note: Similar method applies to all RDS encoders which support software port multiplication (virtual ports). Just don't connect directly but create a virtual port and connect thru it.
