Configuration Options and Possibilities / Re: Setting up DJB Zones automation with a Pira P164 and Magic RDS4
« Last post by Tom McGinley on June 27, 2025, 12:05:57 am »Hello Jan. Thanks for your reply and assistance. We have one Pira P164 connected via IP from our DJB automation Air server on the same protected subnet. The P164 output is connected directly to a Nautel VS1 transmitter SCA/RDS BNC input. We are getting DJB ASCII metadata and default dynamic PS and RT rotating messages programmed into the P164. We have a Nautel V10 transmitter at a remote site that we need to send the DJB metadata to another P164 encoder there. A separate TCP/IP connection is not available so we presume an RS232 serial connection conveyed via a Comrex or Barix link may work. In order to do that, I presume we need to deploy the Magic RDS4 app on a DJB LAN connected machine to receive the DJB metadata and then feed both a TCP/IP connection from there to the VS1 transmitter and a serial connection to the V10 transmitter. The manual shows a block diagram in section 6.3 of multiple transmitters connected from a PC running Magic RDS4 via TCP ethernet ports. But I do see any descriptions of how remote transmitters with a local P164 can be fed with serial data from Magic RDS4 running on a PC. Can you provide the detail on setting up that connection?
