Here’s a next-generation monitoring solution designed with U.S. broadcasters in mind. It addresses the growing complexity of hybrid FM and HD Radio broadcasting.
The FM/HD Probe provides simultaneous monitoring of FM, RDS and HD Radio channels, including HD1, HD2 and HD3. It tracks signal presence, audio levels and metadata integrity while ensuring synchronization between broadcast paths.
Advanced compliance and measurement capabilities include NRSC mask monitoring and real-time spectrum analysis to detect out-of-tolerance conditions quickly. HD/FM alignment tools provide accurate delay measurement, enabling precise correction when discrepancies occur.
Features include audio streaming and recording so you can access and review broadcast content in real time. Alarm notifications via email and SNMP ensure awareness of any anomaly. The Probe provides an intuitive web-based interface and a compact, robust hardware platform.
