The P164 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. Ultra-compact
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 support of additional
RDS2 data-stream, the P164 is future-proof equipment, ready for possible 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.
