- Specifications:
RDS Applications Supported:
- PS (Program Service Name: your station’s ‘street name’ and/or scrolling song info); PI (Program Identification: station ID calculated from call letters in US & Canada, assigned by broadcast authorities elsewhere); PTY (Program Type: your station’s format or theme); PTYN (Program Type Name: a further refinement of your PTY); AF (Alternative Frequencies: yours and your rebroadcast ‘translator’ frequencies); RT (RadioText: additional scrolling messaging); CT (Clock/Time: sets the listener’s car clock); DI (Decoder Information: mono-stereo data flag); M/S (Music/Speech data flag).
Flashing Panel Alarms:
- A PI code is essential to RDS operation. NO PI CODE RDS MUTED will flash and the 704 will not function until a PI code is entered. When the pilot alarm is enabled, PILOT LOSS flashes if lock with the stereo pilot is lost.
MPX/Pilot Input:
- An unbalanced/bridging input (BNC) accepts either the complete composite-multiplex stereo baseband signal or 19kHz TTL-level stereo pilot sync from the stereo generator. Maximum amplitude: 5Vpp. The 704 reverts to an internal time base for monaural transmissions.
RDS Output:
- Unbalanced, 75ȳ (BNC); delivers the RDS subcarrier (only) to feed the RDS/SCA input of an FM exciter. Output level adjustable from zero to 4Vpp.
Network Port:
- Network connector (RJ45) accepts multiple IP networking connections; one TCP port and one UDP port.
Power Requirements:
- +12VDC at 240mA. Two, paralleled coaxial DC power jacks (5.5mm x 2.1mm) allow the 704 to ‘daisy-chain’ with companion INOmini units. A universal 90-240VAC inline switching power supply is supplied.
Size and Weight:
- 1.8” (46mm) high, 5.3” (135mm) wide, 6.1” (155mm) deep; 4 lbs (1.8kg) shipping weight.
Mounting Options:
- An optional rack adapter accepts up to three INOmini modules in a 1U, 19-inch rack space. The INOmini 704 may also be fastened to any convenient surface with two small screws.
