WorldCast Systems announced an update to its FM transmitter range, the Ecreso FM AiO series.
The AiO family now includes power levels of 1 kW as well as 600, 300 and 100 watts. WorldCast says it has shipped approximately 750 of them since they launched late last year.
“In addition to the already existing offline backup on SD card, the Ecreso FM AiO series is now fitted with an online audio backup supporting IceCast and ShoutCast streaming,” the company said.
“With this new capability, the transmitter ensures audio backups when the main sources are faulty. This means broadcasters can reuse an existing radio broadcast channel to enable the redundancy of its audio program. They can play an audio file which is saved on the SD card, or they can recover an IceCast / ShoutCast stream and continue to broadcast the program live from a web radio source.”
It said this brings increased reliability and reassurance of staying on-air.
AiO transmitters support software integration of an APT IP Decoder for STL use as well as Audemat RDS Encoder and multiband processing.
WorldCast will be an exhibitor at the IBC Show in September.
