ADA102 Coder / Decoder
Technical Specifications, version II |
|
ADA102 is able to work
as Coder or Decoder depending on the software loaded. The client is able to change this software from a PC or laptop.
Using non compressed PCM signals, ADA102 can work bidirectional (full duplex)

• MP3 Layer 1 (32, 44.1 and 48 kHz)
• MP3 Layer 2 (16, 22.05 and 24 kHz)
• G.711 (µLaw / A-Law 8 and 24 kHz sampling rate)
• 16bit PCM uncompressed (8,16,32,44.1 & 48 kHz)

|
|
IP standard based protocols;
TCP/IP, UDP, HTTP, ICMP, SNMP
• Supports BootP, DHCP and Auto IP
It supports RTP for low latency
|
|
ADA102 has a latency of only 50 - 100 mS |
Variable Bit Rate (VBR) Encoding |
The MP3 encoder uses Variable Bit rate
Encoding (VBR) to
realize optimal compression of the audio data. The
setting of a fixed bit rate is replaced with setting a quality
level that preserves audio quality in critical sections
and enhances compression otherwise.
|
RS 232 port |
Bidirectional serial port RS232 used for Audio Processor control from studios, RDS signal control or Transmitter remote control
Supports all speeds up to 96 Kbits/s
|
4 channels remote control lines |
Used for switch on-off transmitter, change to Day-night power, change antenna array, etc.
Four On-Off lines, 2 relay outputs (120 V - 1 A) and 2 open collector outputs (up to 24 V / 0,25 A )
In/Outs using D-15 female connector
|
Emergency Radio Program |
In case of Internet streaming interruption, ADA102 starts to reproduce a pre-recorded radio program. The user must record it on a Pen Drive, using MP3 format. The Emergency Radio Program could be only music or a complete program several hours long. |
