The P232U RDS Encoder is well suited
for the vast majority of radio stations which use serial data channel (PC serial port,
satellite link, serial over Ethernet) for the RDS content distribution. An independent USB
communication port provides a simple way for local connection and configuration. 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.
This RDS encoder is characterized by
proven concept, easy intallation, great price and unsurpassed text processing
capabilities. It maintains support for all RDS services and data formats that are commonly
used. An assessment is required only for stations that use some of the less common UECP
features. The device is compatible with P132, P232, P332 and backward compatible with
PIRA32.
- Fully dynamic FM broadcast RDS encoder with two
independent communication ports
- Optically isolated RS-232 port, USB port
- Control interface accepts ASCII commands, UECP
protocol and X-Command
- Text features include dynamic PS, parsing, scrolling,
tagging, fixed messages and scheduling
- Excellent compatibility with broadcast automation
systems
- 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
