RD2/16
Coders/Decoders
 
 

The RD2/16, digital coder is a revolutional and a step forward in the aural STL. Using the CDB™ digital codification system, it permits the simultaneous trasmission of more high quality audio and auxiliary channels through the traditional narrow band STL already used for analog signals.

CD audio quality isn't degraded by the number of hops of STL. In fact a numerical recovery system permits the unlimited signal re-transmission without quality loss.

Stereo separation, crosstalk, S/N ratio, distortion are practically the same as a typical CD player in all the STL hops.

More channels: The system simultaneously accepts 2 x 15 KHz high quality audio channels plus up to 4800 bps data channel and one RDS channel.

RDS. The optional RDS interface is compatible with all Radio Data System coders and permits studio transmission without adding equipments.

SCA. In the 4 channels version it is possible to choose two 15 KHz high quality audio channels configuration plus SCA1, SCA2.

AES/EBU. The optional AES/EBU interface accepts direct connections with any digital audio equipments.

Instant Installation on traditional analog STL, without modifications.

Tolerance to interference. The CDB™ digital transmission is co-channel interferences free.

More than 20 dB of total gain permit a lower investment for antennas and transmitting equipments.
