After the worldwide success of the Audemat FMB80 RDS encoder, this new, more advanced version is a worthy successor that will meet the needs of the most demanding broadcasters and stations for modern RDS encoding.
It meets the highest standards of excellence and is the first and only RDS encoder to meet the latest norms, a built-in FM tuner, and MPX/Composite over AES. With its MPX over AES compatibility, the Audemat RDS Encoder enables the addition of RDS information directly into a digital chain, ensuring not only optimal spectral purity and quality but also enables broadcasters to pass seamlessly to a fully digital environment.
Market Leading Expertise
Highly involved in advancing radio solutions and as an active member of the RDS forum, WorldCast Systems meets the highest standards of excellence backed by over 25 years of field-proven experience.
Highest Signal Purity
With the Audemat RDS Encoder and its built-in digital MPX over AES feature, a new level of signal quality is available to improve the entire broadcast chain.
Easy Installation & Maintenance
For maximum ease of use, the Audemat RDS Encoder comes with a built-in FM tuner for on-air monitoring of RDS information, ScriptEasy for advanced telemetry, and a responsive web interface.
+25 years of RDS experience: Our team of engineers leverage extensive experience in RDS encoding with successful, field-proven, and highly reliable systems deployed worldwide with over 17 000+ FMB80’s sold.
IEC62106 compliant: The only RDS encoder that meets the new RDS standard and full UECP compliancy.
RDS2 Ready: According to the latest IEC standard the Audemat RDS Encoder is ready for the RDS2 meaning that three additional subcarriers can be added to broadcast logos or pictures.
MPX over AES: Only encoder to offer this feature, the Audemat RDS Encoder allow you to have a full digital broadcast chain with digital MPX/Composite
Digital Signal Generation: As part of an ongoing drive for improvement, signal output has been improved to achieve a floor noise below -80dBr in analogic mode and -110 dBr with digital
Signal Purity: Great signal management enables high signal purity at the encoder’s output without any disturbance on the audio content.
Built-in FM Tuner: Built-in FM tuner for on-air monitoring of main RDS parameters and signal, using a single product.
Advanced communication:
→ Responsive web GUI with complete configuration
→ ScriptEasy & MasterView for advanced telemetry and facility management
→ SNMP
→ Compatibility with the WorldCast Manager for unified monitoring of IP-enabled devices
→ UECP
→ ASCII Commands
ScriptEasy is the revolutionary facility control software developed by WorldCast Systems to give users the power and flexibility to create “Smart” sites; ones that can automatically take action to correct any critical errors that affect operations.
Featuring an intuitive Graphic User Interface (GUI), ScriptEasy incorporates GPIO functions, serial communications, logic operators, live user inputs, timers and more. This allows the site operations to be “scripted”, to allow evaluation of multiple parameters and even automatically engage backup systems, while simultaneously alerting relevant technical personnel.
The WorldCast Manager simplifies the management of all SNMP-enabled devices in a network, providing real-time status, historical data and visualization of multiple devices from a single screen. The intuitive and simple-to-use interface shows all devices located at your site(s) displaying product information, alerting you to any alarms and providing one-click access to the unit’s web-based control interface.
The WorldCast Manager is compatible with all WorldCast Systems’ equipment as well as SNMP devices from ANY manufacturer.
with range of WorldCast Systems products illustrating complete digital broadcast chain:
The MPX over AES technic consists to transform the analog MPX/Composite signal to a digital signal sampled at 192kHz with the MPX/Composite signal inside. This new feature will allow our customers to have a full digital broadcast chain from studio to FM transmitter with a perfect signal quality and purity. A wider dynamic range gives the user very low noise and distortion over all MPX bandwidth.
More information in the technote
RDS2 is characterized by adding 3 additional subcarriers in the RDS standard, broadcasters will have the possibility tomorrow to send small files such as a station logo or the cover of an album. This feature is part of one of several improvements to the standard, such as a new type of PS that allows UTF8 encoding of desired characters. RDS2 opens opportunities for stations branding, new revenue streams through advertising, and a better overall user experience for listeners. experience for listeners.
