RDS Encoder Hook Up

K

kj6eo

Hello - Thanks for reading my post. I have a question related to how my RDS Encoder is hooked up. AES output from my BRIC LINK II goes to the INPUT of my Audio Processor. MPX Out from the Audio Processor goes to the INPUT of the RDS Unit. The OUTPUT of the RDS Unit goes to the MPX
in on the TRANSMITTER. Would it be better to go XLR AES through the PROCESSOR directly to the TRANSMITTER? Then just loop through the RDS
unit from the processor i.e PROCESSOR (Pilot out) > RDS IN ... RDS OUT ... MPX IN on the PROCESSOR.

Thank you in advance for your expert guidance!
 
Your current setup is the most common and generally works well with no problems. However... if you want to take advantage of AES digital, you need to make sure your exciter / transmitter has AES input, along with SCA input for RDS and a 19khz sync output available. If so... feed the processor AES output to the exciter AES input. Then... feed the 19khz sync output from the exciter to the RDS sync input - feed the RDS output to the exciter SCA input. When using AES, the exciter / transmitter generates the 19khz stereo pilot - the 19khz sync is needed to keep the RDS SCA frequency locked.
