P132 RDS Encoder

The P132 RDS Encoder is well suited for most regional, local, RSL, LPFM and other medium- and small-coverage radio stations which use Ethernet for dynamic RDS data distribution. Fully DSP concept and effective design ensures high reliability, excellent signal characteristics and gives the user many advanced features while maintaining low acquisition costs.

Built-in Ethernet controller supports multiple TCP/UDP ports, internet functions and remote monitoring. The device is compatible with P232U, P332 and backward compatible with PIRA32.

Features
  • Fully dynamic FM broadcast RDS encoder with up to four independent communication ports
  • USB connectivity for local settings and maintenance purposes
  • Ethernet connectivity for linking with broadcast automation system
  • Supports internet functions and remote monitoring
  • Control interface accepts ASCII commands, UECP protocol and X-Command on all ports
  • Text features include dynamic PS, parsing, scrolling, tagging, fixed messages, scheduling and reading from HTTP
  • Supports control from external PHP/ASP scripts
