It supports TCP/IP and SNMP communication protocols, and allows full integration of RDS/RBDS transmissions with the station’s other network functions, including message streams for digital radio and Webcasting. It also offers an ASCII protocol for broadcasting song/artist information. Thus, the unit can be easily interfaced to various automation systems.

The DB9000-STC is intended to fight the dreaded dead air problem. In case of audio loss, the unit will detect the silence right away and switch directly to the integrated built-in MP3 audio back-up player. The audio files and playlists can be uploaded to the device from your PC via any FTP client.

Developed with the goal of easiness of use, the DB9000-STC can be managed through a standard Web browser, PC, PDA, or other device, which makes it the best choice for professional and consumer use.
