Inovonics 673 

FM/RDS Monitor/Receiver

 

The INOmini 673 is Inovonics’ second-generation, small form-factor FM broadcast monitor for professional applications.

 

A sensitive and selective off-air receiver for standard analog-FM broadcasts, it has application as a ‘confidence monitor’ or as a rebroadcast receiver in FM translator service. The 673 decodes and displays the most important data from RDS/RBDS data groups as well.

 

The INOmini 673 gives front-panel and remote alarm indications of program and RDS transmission errors. It can also deliver a high-quality audio feed for program distribution throughout the broadcast facility with adjustable analog and AES digital audio outputs.

 

Features: 

  • This sensitive and selective DSP-based (SDR) receiver has extended band coverage down to 64MHz.

  • Easy front-panel setup uses jog-wheel menu navigation with a large LCD display. Accurate, hi-res metering shows RF signal and audio levels; critical system menus are hidden.

  • Front-panel display of most-essential RDS/RBDS information including RT+ ‘tagging’ data.

  • Balanced analog and AES-digital program line outputs are available simultaneously; levels are independently adjustable.

  • Flashing-red front-panel alarms and rear-panel ‘tallies’ indicate RDS Loss or PI Error, Low Signal and Audio Program Loss.

  • All receiver setup parameters are held in non-volatile memory.

  • When issued, free firmware updates are easily installed in the field.

Front-Panel Red-Flashing Alarms

  • RDS: Alarm signals the loss of RDS data or font panel alarms; an error between the received PI code and a user-programmable PI code entry.
  • Low Signal: Alarm and reset trigger levels are independently adjustable relative to the RF signal level display.
  • Audio Loss: Alarm threshold is adjustable between 0dB and –40dB, and the alarm delay interval is adjustable between OFF and 120 seconds.
  • Alarm “Tallies”: Individual opencollector NPN transistor outputs to ground are programmable for logic polarity.

USB Port

The front-panel mini-USB port allows the quick uploading of firmware updates when issued.
