DAB+ Audio Encoder

Use-cases

• Remote DAB+ encoding in the radio studio
• Central high-density DAB+ encoding at the head-end
• Software-based DAB+ encoding
• DAB+ re-broadcast applications 

Features

• Proven FRAUNHOFER Professional DAB+ Codec
• EDI/STI-D or FhG MuxEnc (optional) to DAB Multiplexer
• Local insertion of PAD (DLS, SLS), TA, PTy
• Secure and stable connection to FhG DAB ContentServer via FhG MuxEnc – configuration, PAD insertion and monitoring of the remote hardware encoders possible at the multiplexer 

Benefits

• Reduce rackspace and gain flexibility with scalable multi-purpose hardware and software
• Integrate in any studio infrastructure with analog, digital or AES67/Livewire audio
• Use audio inputs from AoIP, webstream or satellite (DVB-S/S2 tuner optional in IP-4c) as main or backup source
• Multi-encoding of the same audio service with different parameters (requires separate DAB+ encoder license)
• Cover multiple distribution paths (DAB+, FM, web stream) with the same hardware or software platform
• Fault-proof encoder configuration and PAD import controlled by the platform operator with the FhG MuxEnc protocol (optional)
• Interconnect to any multiplexer with the standardized STI-D/DCP protocol
• Synchronous output stream to multiplexer with NTP or PTP clock source and selectable sample rate conversion of the audio input
