Description

Winner of RW Best of Show at NAB 2018. The 732 takes RDS to a new level with all the tools necessary to ensure an engaging and dynamic RDS presence. It connects to virtually any automation playout system. Control via remote Web interface or front-panel OLED. Email alarms & SNMP.

The 732 Advanced Dynamic RDS Encoder takes RDS to a new level, adding greater functionality and incorporating the latest RDS technology.

The 732 the provides all the tools broadcasters need to ensure an engaging and dynamic RDS presence. It connects with virtually any playout system, broadcasting song title, artist information, station ID’s and much more to listener radios. With enhanced RT+ tagging with variable replacement capability.

The 732 is controlled in real-time via a dynamic Web interface or through a large front panel OLED display with easy to navigate menus. Email alarms for pilot loss and DPS/RT not updating. SNMP support. Firmware is remotely updatable via webserver.

Additional information

Weight	3.6 kg
Dimensions	41 × 59 × 6 cm
specification	RDS APPLICATIONS SUPPORTED PS (Program Service Name) An 8-character station 'street name' or 128-character scrolling message (song info, promos, advertising, etc.) PI (Program Identification) 730 software automatically calculates PI codes for the US and Canada PTY (Program Type) Identifies your station’s format PTYN (Program Type Name) A further refinement of your type or style of programming TP / TA (Traffic Program / Traffic Announcement) A utility that calls attention to critical traffic or other emergency situations. Some RDS radios automatically retune to these announcements, even overriding CD or MP3 playback AF (Alternative Frequencies) Up to 25 frequency entries for rebroadcast 'translators.' RT (RadioText) A 64-character block of plain-text messaging that can be called-up on the faceplate of some RDS radios. RadioText is separate from, and in addition to, scrolling-PS messages RT+ (RadioText Plus) An updated standard for song info display CT (Clock Time and Date) The 730 sends timekeepingdata to RDS radios. The feature is set and updated automatically with an Internet connection DI (Decoder Information) The mono/stereo data flag M/S (Music/Speech Switch) The mixed-music or speech-only data flag RAW (Raw Data Entry) The 730 accepts ‘Free Format Group’ commands to facilitate custom RDS applications SCHEDULER Up to twenty, 128-character scrolling-PS messages may be programmed for transmission at specified times on prearranged dates or recurring days of the week. RDS DATA DELAY Scrolling-PS, RT and RT+ message updates may be delayed in 1-second increments up to 60 seconds to match profanity and transmission diversity delays. MPX OR PILOT INPUT An unbalanced, bridging (BNC) input accepts either the composite/multiplex (MPX) signal (5V p-p, max.) or 19kHz TTLlevel pilot sync from the stereo generator. The 730 reverts to an internal crystal timebase for monaural transmissions. RDS OR MPX OUTPUT An unbalanced, 75-ohm (BNC) output feeds a wideband input of the FM exciter. OPERATING MODES Loop-Through (with relay-contact failsafe bypass): The RDS subcarrier is internally mixed with the MPX input and the combined signal appears at the encoder output at unity gain Sidechain: In this mode only the RDS subcarrier appears at the encoder output. The monitored MPX or 19kHz sync is only bridged to synchronize the 57kHz RDS subcarrier with the stereo pilot RDS INJECTION LEVEL Subcarrier level is adjustable from zero to 3V p-p, either from the front panel or by remote software command. The LCD and software screens show both bargraph and voltage readouts of the subcarrier level. FRONT-PANEL DATA ENTRY The front-panel LCD and jog wheel allow on-site setup of all operating parameters and messaging registers when a computer is not available. The LCD is also able to show the values and messages in all registers in addition to displaying incoming data on the fly and the scrolling-PS message exactly as it is being received by RDS radios. USB PORT A front-panel USB connector gives quick and easy access for on-site encoder setup. All static messaging may be quickly set with a laptop PC. SERIAL DATA PORT A rear-panel RS-232 connector (DB-9) accepts static encoder programming and dynamic messaging from station automation. The 730 accommodates all common data rates between 1200 and 115, 200 baud. 730 software features an automatic port and data rate ID utility to simplify initial connection and setup. LAN (IP-NETWORK) PORT A rear-panel Network connector (RJ-45) conforms to TCP/IP networking protocols. Two TCP ports and one UDP port are provided for remote access and connectivity from multiple sources, anywhere in the world. TA SWITCHING The temporary TA flag is set either by a software command or with a contact closure through a rear-panel terminal strip. The 730 features a programmable TA-timeout utility to preclude TA flag violations. SUPPLIED SOFTWARE Model 730 software runs on any Windows© PC for USB, serial (COM) port and IP-network operation. The software is intuitive, self-guiding and contains numerous pop-up and other Help files. POWER REQUIREMENTS 105-130VAC and 210-260VAC; 50/60Hz; 20W.
