DB9000-STC is a high-performance, 32bits DSP based Stereo Generator with built-in RDS/RBDS encoder. It has been successfully designed to satisfy the most demanding requirements of FM Stereo generation and advanced RDS/RBDS encoding. This Stereo Encoder accepts both, Analog and Digital AES/EBU audio sources. DB9000-STC comes with an easy to use and password protected Web Server and a comprehensive remote control features. It supports SNMP, RS232, UDP, TCP/IP communication protocols. Its digital architecture guarantees long term reliability and easy firmware updates, directly on field or from remote.The built-in RDS encoder can ‘parse’ scrolling text, automatically breaking phrases into word groups. It gives dynamic, on-the-fly programming access with its built-in USB, TCP/IP, UDP/IP interfaces. This connectivity permits full integration of RDS/RBDS transmissions with the stations other networked functions, including message streams for digital radio and Webcasting. It can be easily interfaced to various Automation Systems and offers an ASCII protocol for broadcasting song/artist information.Another impressive feature of the DB9000-STC is that it can fight the dreaded dead air problem. The DB9000-STC provides additional uncompromising security in case of loss of audio at the audio inputs. The audio backup is presented as an integrated built-in MP3 audio player. The basic principle of operation is that this unit can detect the silence and switch the output to the alternative MP3 Player. The MP3’s backup audio files and play lists can be uploaded in the device from your PC using any FTP client. The audio storage capacity of DB9000-STC is 2 Giga Bytes.Based on the latest DSP technology, the DB9000-STC is fully digitally designed for 24/7/365 operation. This product is the most cost effective, versatile and reliable solution designed for the broadcasters looking for a customized solution for a single, or a multiple transmitter sites.Main Features:Fully Digital 32 bits DSP Stereo EncoderExcellent Audio PerformancesDigital Volume Control of all Audio InputsAdjustable Pilot, L-R, RDS phasesSelectable pre-emphasis 0, 50s, 75sDigitally adjustable Pilot & RDS injection levelsFully Digital Synthesis of the RDS SignalIntelligent Silence Detector and Backup Audio PlayerConfiguration and Monitoring via SNMP Ver.2C & WEBAlert Notifications via E-mail, SNMP in case of Audio LossLots of Storage for over 24 hours of non-repeating audio playbackAlways Fresh Backup Audio Tracks with Embedded FTP serverProfessional Balanced Stereo Analog Input on XLR connectorsProfessional Digital AES/EBU Audio input on XLR connectorsHeadphones Jack for local monitoring of the Audio SignalBuilt-in MP3 Player with built in 2GB SD CardUPnP for easy discovery in Local NetworksProfessional 19 inches, 1U Professional rack mount chassisRemote Firmware Upgrade for future-proof operationProtected access to the device settingsEasy installation and operation2 Years WarrantySpecifications:Analog audio input:Connector: 2 x XLR, StereoType: BalancedImpedance: 600 or High ImpedanceLevel: +6dBu / +12dBu, user selectableSample rate: 96 kHz; Build-in sample rate converter used to produce lower sample ratesDynamic range: >100dBDigital audio input:Connector: XLRType: AES/EBU (IEC 60958)Resampling: Thru build-in sample rate converterAudio backup:Trigger: Audio SilenceThreshold: Adjustable, -90dBFs to 0dBFsTrigger time: Adjustable, 5s to 240sStorage: SD Card, up to 16GBSupported file types: *.MP3, *.AAC, *.M4A, *.M3UPlayback modes: Alphabetical ascending and descending, Shuffle, Playlist and Shuffled playlistRemote file management: Build-in FTP ServerStereo Encoder:Type: Fully DSP Stereo EncodingPre-emphasis: 0, 50, 75sAGC: 5 presets, 2 user definedEqualizer: 3-Band, 12dB rangeStereo separation: >55dB (typically >60dB)Phase Adjust: Pilot, L-R, RDSInjection Levels Adjust: Pilot, RDSOutput Connector: BNC, UnbalancedOutput Level Adjust: Digitally, up to 0dBuComposite MPX Limiter: 6 presets, 3 user definedRDS Encoder:Supported RDS Applications: PI, PS, Dynamic PS AF, RT, TP, TA, DI, M/S, PIN, PTY, PTYNConfiguration: Web InterfaceAutomation control: Remote TCP consoleOutput Connector: BNC, UnbalancedOutput Level Adjust: Digitally, up to -6dBuPhones Audio Output:Connector: 1/4″ (6.3mm) Phone Jack, StereoType: HeadphonesUser Interface:Indicators: 4 LEDs on front panel, 2 LEDs on rear panelWeb interface: Full control and status informationRS-232:Type: TCP/IP to RS-232 RedirectorConnector: DB-9, femaleBaud rates: 9600 to 115200Password protection: YesNetwork:Connector: RJ-45Type: EthernetPower:Voltage: 115/230V AC (internal switch)Power Consumption: 10VAConnector: IEC320, Fused and EMI-suppressedSize and Weight:Dimensions (W;H;D): 483 x 45 x 180 mmShipping Weight: 540 x 115 x 300 mm / 2.670 kgHS Code: 8517620000
