AVT MAGIC AE4 DAB /DAB+ Audio Encoder


The MAGIC AE4 DAB/DAB+ Encoder offers in the standard version one DAB/DAB+ hardware encoder and can be optionally upgraded with three further encoders. Each of the four channels are independent and can be configured independently as a DAB or DAB+ encoder. The system is realized in a compact, fanless and DSP-based design. The audio programs can be supplied via the four digital AES/EBU stereo interfaces. An analogue stereo interface is also available.

The PAD is usually fed in via the Ensemble Multiplexer, which scans the PAD via the return path of the transmission protocol on the encoder. All PAD services supported by the multiplexer can be used.

In addition to PAD, service information such as the Program Type (PTy) and Traffic Announcement (TA) can also be transmitted via UECP for each program. The triggering of a traffic announcement can be easily implemented via a TTL contact.

As transmission protocols with reconfiguration capability and PAD insertion, the system supports the proprietary standards AVTMUX, FhG MuxEnc, AVTVDL and ODR DabMux.

The EDI (ETI) standard also allows the system to be connected to almost any Ensemble Multiplexer from other manufacturers. In this case, however, reconfiguration and PAD feeding from the multiplexer is not possible, since EDI cannot transfer control information.

Options:

MAGIC AE4 DAB/DAB+ Audio Encoder Upgrade 1-channel
The MAGIC AE4 DAB/DAB+ Encoder offers in the standard version one DAB/DAB+ hardware encoder and can be optionally upgraded with three further encoders. Each of the four channels are independent and can be configured independently as a DAB or DAB+ encoder.

AES67 8-Channels Upgrade
With the AES67 software upgrade, eight additional audio channels RX (1 stream) and two additional audio channels TX (1 stream) are optionally available over IP via AES67.
AES67 is the lowest common denominator of several similar technologies and ensures communication between e.g. AES67 compatible Dante and Ravenna devices.

Ravenna Module
With the Ravenna/AES67 interface card for MAGIC AE4 devices, 32 audio inputs/outputs can be routed over IP to Ravenna ® or AES67 compatible mixers.
The module already supports the NMOS sepecifications for Discovery & Registration as well as Device Connection Management, which significantly facilitates an integration into large scale AoIP networks.
This feature includes 2 LAN interfaces for Ravenna®.

Audio Backup Upgrade
With the Audio Backup Upgrade, automatic switching from AES67 to AES/EBU is possible. The optional AES67 8-channel upgrade is required for this.

EDI(ETI) + FhG MuxEnc Upgrade
To use the encoders with non-AVT multiplexers, the EDI upgrade is required. The MuxEnc protocol is also required to connect FhG multiplexers.

Dual LAN Upgrade
With the Dual LAN Upgrade, the system can be expanded by two additional LAN interfaces, so that a total of four LAN interfaces are available.

Redundant power supply
Optionally a redundant power supply can be used, the 5V DC table power supply is included in this hardware upgrade.
