Full Composite MPX Compliance
The Veronica® board generates a broadcast-ready Multiplex (MPX) signal with universal compatibility for any FM exciter. By precisely integrating the 57 kHz RDS subcarrier, our engineering strictly adheres to the FCC Zenith system and global ITU-R BS.450-4 standards.
This ensures your station delivers a pristine, legally compliant signal that meets professional broadcasting requirements anywhere in the world.
Who can benefit from this?
- Small & Medium Broadcasters: Looking for professional RDS scrolling without expensive PC software.
- Community Radio Stations: Needing a "set and forget" solution that works independently of a studio computer.
- Remote Transmitter Sites: Where reliability is critical and a PC cannot be maintained on-site.
- Professional Engineers: Requiring strict ITU compliance and high stereo crosstalk rejection for a clean signal.
- Solar-Powered Stations: Benefiting from the ultra-low 50mA power consumption.
Zero-Crash 100% Hardware Architecture
- Immune to OS Failures: Built on precision analog circuits, eliminating the risk of frozen applications or "Blue Screens" taking your station off the air.
- 24/7 Mission-Critical Uptime: Dedicated hardware ensures your MPX signal never crashes, stutters, or drops out.
- Ultra-Efficient Power: Operates on a standard 11–16V DC input, consuming a mere 50mA.
- Seamless Integration: Low power draw allows the board to be driven directly by your transmitter’s internal supply, eliminating bulky external adapters.
Compared to PC-dependent setups, this dedicated solution delivers unmatched stability and the peace of mind required for professional FM broadcasting.
USB Configuration & Non-Volatile Storage
- Autonomous Operation: Program your Station ID and Radio Text via USB, then disconnect the PC. The hardware operates entirely on its own.
- Instant Power Recovery: All parameters are saved in non-volatile memory. After a power failure, the system resumes broadcasting instantly with no reprogramming required.
- Live Updates: Keep the PC connected only if you require real-time metadata integration (scrolling song titles or live sponsors) from your playout software.
Advanced PS & Dynamic Radio Text
Transform your broadcast into an interactive display. This encoder provides full control over your Program Service (PS) and Radio Text (RT) with three professional formats:
- Static Station ID: Rock-solid display of your 8-character call sign or network name.
- Sequential Messaging: Automatically cycle through station names, frequencies, and slogans.
- Continuous Scrolling: Deliver live news, weather, or sponsored content directly to the listener’s dashboard.
By delivering real-time visual content, you boost your advertising potential and establish professional authority on every digital FM receiver.
