Overview

Innovative and feature-packed, the Audemat RDS Encoder elevates RDS encoding to a level of signal quality and spectral purity never before achieved.

AUDEMAT RDS ENCODER BEST OF SHOW NAB 2018 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.

Advanced Telemetry & Remote Control with ScriptEasy

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.

Application example using MPX / Composite over AES

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.

Audeamt RDS Encoder RDS2 logo

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.
