2wcom carries on with its very successful
FM/RDS and DAB+ monitoring program for
broadcasters. The A30 can be equipped
with ether the FM/RDS module or DAB+
module or both which make this device to
a professional multi-purpose unit.
The A30 is a flexible monitoring device
with double-tuner and scan mode
function. The A30 has several integrated
functions such as FM demodulation and
monitoring (e.g. TMC/RT+ decoding and
RDS Databridge), DAB/DAB+ demodulation
and monitoring (e.g. RF Level, FIC
Error, Slideshow), 2 RF antenna inputs,
monitoring function of Audio In, Dual
Option (extra rights – Dual Tuner, Dual
MP3 Streaming, Dual Audio Output (analog
and digital switchable)) and enhanced
measurements (extra rights).
Furthermore, the unit has the ISD
(Intelligent Silence Detection) function
which offers security in transmission
with its active and passive
“loop-through” feature of the analogue
L-R / AES and the MPX signal.
All
important FM/RDS and DAB+ parameters of
a station can be controlled individually
under alarm settings in the
user-friendly web interface. If a value
does not comply with the pre-settings,
an alarm can be forwarded to via SNMP,
e-mail or relay to a service centre. All
the alarms can be stored into a
log-file. If necessary, you can generate
CSV-file for further processing. All
alarm activities are being stored with
timestamp, type of alert and the
equivalent frequency into this file as a
document for you.
FM Monitoring
The A30 as FM Monitoring Receiver Decoder
monitors all important “ON-AIR” FM and
RDS parameters in your FM network. The
double tuner concept allows you to
monitor two different FM stations
continuously or to control one station
all the time and to scan up to 30
different FM radio stations successively
as well.
Another option is the
very precise MPX power and deviation
measurement to avoid in getting any
penalties in your country derived from
overshooting of the allowed MPX
level.
All RDS data, like Group
data, ODA, TA, RT, RT+, AF lists and TMC
data can be displayed by using the RDS
Lab Software.
The A30 detects loss
of the main source and switches over to
a backup source automatically. After the
signal is back on the main source, the
former status will be restored
again.
Listen to the audio from
anywhere to every single station via MP3
live streaming.
Additionally, the
A30 can function as a backup Rebroadcast
Receiver and as a RDS-Databridge too.
The embedded web server guarantees world
wide access remotely.
In case of
any FM/RDS-Transmission problems, the
A30 informs you first automatically
before your audience does. It is just a
good feeling to have an efficient and
reliable FM-RDS Monitoring System
available 24/7/365.
DAB+ Monitoring
The DAB+ module in the device allows you to measure different parameters such as RF level, FIC quality and audio level. Another application is the so called slide show which shows you information about the current radio channel such as advertising.
