PS Scrolling
- 8 character ‘static’ PS or 64 character ‘Dynamic’ PS (where permitted)
- Scroll a few characters at a time or by entire words
- Smart encoder recognizes and parses words and phrases for best display
- Options to center small words in the display and truncate longer words to fit
- Labeling to add call letters and slogans to PS display during songs
- Encoder automatically reverts to a default text after song is over
- Command interpreter allows you to easily adjust the encoder to your automation
- Option to repeat text continuously, or a few times then revert back to static (to enhance driver safety)
- Optional delay to synchronize text appearance with delayed audio (ex. for HD or talk stations)
Spectral purity of the RDS signal
- Since the RDS subcarrier is part of your composite signal, it is critical to avoid any noise or interference which could affect the audio quality. Here’s how the FMB10 maintains the quality of your signal… In the FMB10 (as in all Audemat RDS encoders), the RDS signal at the output of the encoder is derived entirely from digital data which is applied to a D/A (Digital ⇒ Analog) converter.
- The analog signal produced by the D/A converter is already modulated at 57 kHz, contrary to many rival RDS encoders. This distinctive feature permits Audemat encoders to operate without the need of a band pass filter on the output of the RDS encoder. The signal and its purity are completely controlled in the digital realm. Only a low pass filter is used to eliminate the sampling frequency residue (around 1MHz) from the RDS signal.
- Noise in the 0-100KHz band at the RDS output is down -86 dB at 2.4KHz either side of the 57 kHz frequency, and drops below -105dB further away from the RDS sub-carrier.
- SMC (Surfaced Mounted Components) are used throughout to reduce the PCB surface area and improve noise immunity.
- Audemat’s technological advances in the areas of digitalization and multiplex signal synthesis gives its RDS encoder products perfect quality and purity.
