Overview

The RDS300 unit is the entry point for every small to medium-sized radio station. It supports all the key features like scrolling PS and RT, remote configuration and automation software integration. It is at a very affordable price which makes it the best choice for radio stations not willing to spend a lot. Moreover, RDS300 preserves the high reliability and functionality of a professional RDS/RBDS encoder. It is firmware upgradable to RDS500 or RDS1000.

FEATURES

• Dynamic RDS/RBDS encoder designed for small and medium-sized radio stations.
• Embedded Webserver
• Cost-effective solution
• Supports the following parameters: PI, PS, TP, TA, MS, PTY, PTYN, DI, AF, RT, CT
• Integrates latest Kvarta developments such as Scrolling PS by word and by character
• Plugs and plays with easy set-up
• No trimmers or potentiometer - Digital level and phase adjustment
• 1 port for TCP/UDP Remote configuration

Digital Signal Generation

All of our RDS encoders use surface-mount components and multilayer circuit boards with a large ground plane. This enables us to keep high frequency signal paths very short, and provides inherent shielding. The result is measurably better performance than other types of construction. All our encoders construct their data digitally at a sample rate of 912 kHz. This prevents any possibility of spurious signals affecting audio quality. Unlike some competing units, modulation of the data onto your composite signal is also in the digital domain for purity and freedom from interference.

Reliability

Kvarta encoders are designed for continuous 24/7 on-air operation. All of our units feature solid state memory, have no moving parts and retain their configuration through power outages. Every parameter is controlled through software: there are no potentiometers or trimmer capacitors that may age or need realignment.
