Description
Audemat FM Monitor (previously know as GOLDENEAGLE FM) is a powerful and professional solution for FM and RDS monitoring at the transmitter site or in the coverage area. A 3 tuner device, FM Monitor sequentially monitors a set list of stations and continuously ensures that your FM network complies with both legislation and your expectations, simultaneously making available a decoded audio stream and in-depth measurements of different stations.
With its Ethernet interface, the FM Monitor can be controlled remotely using the user-friendly software supplied or an SNMP-based network software package such as Audemat’s KYBO Media (aka Broadcast Manager).
Monitoring of FM Stations
Connected to 1 or several antennas, the Audemat FM Monitor can monitor up to 40 FM stations in round-robin mode. In each monitoring cycle (~1s per frequency) the unit measures and compares the different RF parameters to alarm thresholds. In case of measurement out of conditions (reception, subcarrier levels, audio…), an alarm is set and a notification can be send by SNMP or email. All measurements are stored for 1 month and can be exported as a CSV file.
An authorised remote user can connect to the unit to consult the measurements in real-time or to listen to the audio of the stations without affecting the monitoring cycle.
RDS Streaming
Comprehensive and useful, the RDS streaming page allows viewing of the broadcasted RDS data, decoded and displayed in real-time. Statistics on errors, on group presences are provided with filtering possibilities, powerful analysis tools allow extended information to be verified.
MPX signal analysis
For an in-depth view of the signal quality and regulation compliance the unit is delivered as standard with powerful tools, MPX deviation as well as the MPX power measurement can be displayed in real-time according to ITU recommendations. A clear view of the MPX spectrum is also provide to help identify any issues.
Audemat FM Monitor includes ScriptEasy for complete remote control
ScriptEasy is the revolutionary facility control software developed by WorldCast Systems to give users the power and flexibility to create “Smart” sites; ones that can automatically take action to correct any critical errors that affect operations.
Featuring an intuitive Graphic User Interface (GUI), ScriptEasy incorporates GPIO functions, serial communications, logic operators, live user inputs, timers and more. This allows the site operations to be “scripted”, to allow evaluation of multiple parameters and even automatically engage backup systems, while simultaneously alerting relevant technical personnel.
