DEVA - SmartGen 6.0

UECP Compatible RDS/RBDS Encoder with LAN, USB & RS-232 Connectivity

This RDS encoder from DEVA Broadcast is based on the latest RDS technology, SmartGen 6 guarantees fully digital synthesis of the RDS signal, with excellent quality and spectral purity. This advanced device is a cost-effective solution for sending of TMC, EWS Services and song tagging via the supported RT+ function.

The local (RS232, USB) and remote (TCP/IP, UDP/IP) interfaces permit fast and full integration of the RDS/RBDS encoder to the station's other functions, including message streams for digital radio and Webcasting. SmartGen 6 is supplied with two separate outputs - one for RDS+MPX and one for RDS only. The need of highly-accurate time source is satisfied not only by the supported SNTP but also by the built-in GPS Module.

An impressive feature of SmartGen 6 is the SNMP agent software component, which reports information via SNMP to one or more administrative computers (managers). SmartGen 6 complies with SNMPv2C. The function SNMP traps or E-mail notification on user-defined alerts is also available.
