P164 stops reading RT information

[miguelvalentim]

Hi there.

My P164 stops reading RT information (and do not send it to the radios) if the Magic rds 4 is closed. The pc with music and RT information is running normally.
How can the P164 can work well without the need of Magic rds4 

Thank you

There's no RDS encoder on the market which is able to access your Windows file system and read some text. This would not be good at all due to security.

The encoder does not read anything from your PC. It is the Magic RDS 4 or any other application which is sending data to the encoder. The encoder provides 'default text' option for the case that no text data is received during a specified time.

You may drive the encoder directly from your broadcast automation system, of course. But this usually results in less options and features available.
