Biquad ACADIA RDS/RBDS Encoder is designed for FM broadcasters that need a complete and flexible solution for transmitting text and control data alongside the main audio programme. It works with both European RDS and American RBDS standards, allowing stations to send station identifiers, programme information, song titles and other text-based data to compatible FM receivers.
The unit combines several control methods to simplify installation and day-to-day use. A built-in web interface allows configuration from a PC over the network, while the front-panel Jog Wheel and OLED display give engineers direct access to key settings and operational parameters at the rack. ACADIA also supports communication through Ethernet, USB and RS-232, making integration with automation systems and external software straightforward.
ACADIA is built for professional FM transmission chains and includes dedicated signal, synchronisation and interface connections for reliable RDS injection. It supports a wide range of RDS services and protocols, including ASCII, UECP and network-based communication, and it can be used with a broad range of stereo generators, exciters and transmitters. Its DSP-based architecture is designed to generate a high-quality, spectrally pure RDS signal with stable synchronisation and dependable long-term operation.
Biquad ACADIA is designed to work directly in the FM transmission chain and pairs well with transmitter systems from Broadcasters Warehouse, including the RVR TEX30LCD/S 30W FM transmitter, el RFE Broadcast DS1000C FM transmitter y el WaveArt 1kW FM Package, helping engineers build a complete and reliable FM air chain with integrated RDS capability.
