Description
Deva Broadcast DB7008 FM and DAB/DAB+ Re-Broadcast Receiver
The DB7008 Rebroadcast Receiver is a next-generation solution engineered to deliver high-precision FM and DAB/DAB+ signal reception, monitoring and continuous rebroadcasting within a single professional platform. Built on a powerful DSP architecture and advanced RF front end, it ensures reliable operation even under demanding broadcast conditions.
A notable feature of the DB7008 is its ability to use DAB/DAB+ as the primary program source while preserving full FM metadata. When operating in this mode, the receiver can extract PAD (Program Associated Data) from the selected DAB service and automatically populate RDS dynamic fields, such as Radiotext. This provides seamless metadata continuity across broadcast technologies, allowing FM listeners to receive the same dynamic information carried by the DAB service.
With two independent tuners, one dedicated to FM and one to DAB/DAB+, the DB7008 enables simultaneous monitoring, redundancy and automatic switching to backup sources. Its measurement capabilities include loudness monitoring compliant with ITU BS.1770-4 and EBU R128, detailed RDS/RBDS and BER analysis, PAD metadata decoding and extensive logging for both FM and DAB/DAB+. Each tuner includes a 24-channel logger, with all historical data accessible via FTP.
Operation is straightforward thanks to the intuitive front-panel interface, sharp OLED display and bright LED level meters. Remote management is fully supported through a responsive web interface compatible with desktop and mobile devices. Integrated SNMP, e-mail and GPO alarms ensure immediate notification of signal issues, making the DB7008 a dependable component in any professional broadcast infrastructure.
