CyberMax8000+ BE+ STEREO and RDS processor

Description

Black Edition DSP stereo and RDS encoder now fully controllable via display
CyberMax8000+ BE+ DSP/RDS stereo encoder offers excellent stereo separation with 114x oversampling, advanced RDS functions and DSP processor. Based on our latest SE8000 DSP+ with built-in compressor, limiter, balanced inputs, sharp 19KHz stereo carrier notch filter, pre-emphasis, LC input filters and ESD protected inputs which all help to bring out the best sound. Perfect for a demanding, but cost-conscious broadcaster. CyberMax8000+ series processor also gives you easy access to a wide array of RDS parameters. Features such as PS, RT, PTY, CT, AF, ECC, EON support, DSP filters and others all make this encoder a real bargain. This is your perfect gateway into the world of RDS and comes with excellent stereo separation and sound!

Black edition with new high performance advanced display, backed by 5 years of warranty
The new Black Edition (BE+) series brings completely new advanced graphics display with many new features such as web control interface, ethernet connectivity, two-color VU meter and smooth rotary button operation. With this new OLED display and it was finally possible to implement UECP protocol so RDS can be fully programmed via any standard studio playout program. It can also be programmed via display or via web interface.

How is Black Edition better than SE+
– Supports UECP standard for programming RDS (compatible with all studio programs)
– Bright 122×32 graphical LCD with rotary encoder, USB and Ethernet ports.
– Classical two-color LED-based VU-meter and forward/reflected power indicator.
– Remote control via Ethernet and web browser as standard, possible even from mobile phone
– RDS fully configurable via OLED display and web interface
– RDS can now substitute special national characters by standard recognizable by all receivers (if desired)
– RBDS and RDS are both supported
– Time update via Internet to always ensure precise CT RDS time with very precise implementation of CT algorithm. With automatic daylight savings switching.
– Optional streaming and Mp3 playback which can also transmit song name via RDS
– Calibrated two-color VU meters for audio level
– Improved MPX level control (limiting introduced at several points).
– MPX level adjustable from outside via a hole next to XLR connectors at the back
– Modular construction, most modules can be exchanged easily without soldering
– Easy change of any parameters via display or web interface, friendly user interface

What parameters can I change via remote control?
Network parameters, time settings, audio levels, DSP parameter and RDS settings can be changed via Ethernet in web browser. No software installation is needed, just connect your transmitter to local Ethernet and open web browser to access all the settings. Check the manual for more info. Below is a small sample of the interface (shown for version with transmitter).

IP audio streaming with MP3 playout from USB
This add-on card lets you receive internet audio streams or play MP3 files from USB drive. This is basically industry-standard Barix IP module inside your transmitter. Especially cool is that the stream source often also transmits song name and when this is the case the RDS encoder can also transmit song name and it can be displayed on the LCD. Read the manual to see how this is done.

What is RDS?
Radio Data System, basically it displays station name and sometimes song name and similar information on a compatible radio receiver. Very popular in Europe
and also in the US.

Suppors UECP standard! Will work with any studio playout software!
