The SmartGen 4 is a full-function RadioData encoder that conforms to European and US standards for FM datacasting. It supports all service IDs and offers simultaneous scrolling-PS and RadioText messaging.
2-way addressability includes a front-panel USB port for fast and easy static register programming of station and format IDs, and for entering default scrolling or static text. In full-dynamic operation, station automation communicates with direct RS-232 serial connection.
Screen-entry Windows® software makes programming the SmartGen 4 simple and foolproof. The SmartGen 4 can "parse" scrolling text, automatically breaking phrases into word groups, or can display text with the "Safe-Scrolling" option.
