The P232 RDS Encoder is well suited for
many radio stations which use serial RS-232 channel for dynamic RDS data distribution or
which settle for static RDS content. It's also highly suitable for service and
development purposes. Fully DSP concept and effective design ensures high reliability,
excellent signal characteristics and gives the user many advanced features.
This RDS encoder is characterized by
easy installation and great price. It still maintains
support for all RDS services and data formats that can be found in other models. The
device is compatible with P132, P232U, P332 and backward
compatible with PIRA32.
- Fully dynamic FM broadcast RDS encoder with single
RS-232 communication port
- Independent secondary communication port on-board
- Control interface accepts ASCII commands, UECP
protocol and X-Command on both ports
- Text features include dynamic PS, parsing, scrolling,
tagging, fixed messages and scheduling
- Control software includes powerful Windows GUI
application
- External TA and Program set switch, bypass relay,
switchable MPX loopthrough mode (Loop/Side)
- Internal real-time clock
- Supports separate data channel for station logo *)
- Two switchable subcarrier configurations (RDS or RDS2)
- Easy and fast set-up
