Biquad Acadia Nano RDS/RBDS Encoder

Biquad Acadia Nano RDS/RBDS Encoder adds digital information to an FM broadcast so compatible receivers can display station identification, programme details, song information and messages. Its compact modular format suits installations with limited equipment space. Browser-based configuration, scheduled messaging and automation integration help keep transmitted information aligned with the station’s programming without routine manual updates.

Station Identification and Dynamic Text

The Biquad Acadia Nano encoder supports both RDS and RBDS operation, allowing configuration for the applicable broadcast system. Adjustable parameters include Program Service identification, RadioText, programme category and alternative frequencies. Dynamic information can follow the programme content, while scheduled messages provide a way to change announcements at selected times. The front-panel OLED displays transmitted information for quick local checks without opening the browser interface.

Browser Configuration and Message Scheduling

Biquad Acadia Nano uses an HTML web interface accessed through the station’s network. Configuration pages organise scheduling, general RDS/RBDS settings, user preferences and equipment information. Basic browser-based setup does not require a dedicated configuration application. The Scheduler allows different texts to be transmitted at defined times, supporting programme announcements, station messages and time-specific information without continuous operator intervention.

Automation Integration and Compact Installation

Biquad supplies its Conector application free of charge for integration with compatible radio automation systems. Song titles and other player information can be sent automatically to the encoder as programming changes. Confirm the automation software’s metadata format and connection requirements before commissioning. The unit belongs to Biquad’s modular equipment range and can share a 19-inch rack space with compatible modules using the optional 1U adapter panel, product code 7804.
