Broadcast Quality MPX Encoder
The Escape MPX STL Radio Link Encoder is a professional-grade solution for transporting full MPX composite signals over IP. It allows direct transmission of the FM-ready audio signal (including pilot tone and RDS) from the studio processor to the transmitter site, ensuring true broadcast quality without additional processing at the transmitter.
Applications
This encoder is ideal for FM radio broadcasters who need to transport the complete MPX signal over IP. It is used in scenarios where the audio processor is located at the studio and the transmitter is at a remote site, enabling a direct composite feed to the exciter.
Key Features
- Transports MPX composite signal directly over IP for FM transmission.
- Deviation meter for real-time monitoring (0–120%).
- Selectable audio input device, destination IP address, and port configuration.
- Configurable Packetization Time, Buffer Size, and Number of Buffers for optimal network performance.
- Automatic reconnection and continuous streaming for 24/7 reliability.
- Supports auto-start and system tray operation.
- Ensures end-to-end broadcast quality with near real-time performance.
Challenge & Solution
Transporting MPX signals has traditionally required expensive dedicated STL links or on-site processors. The Escape MPX Encoder provides a cost-effective IP-based alternative, delivering composite FM signals directly from the studio processor to the transmitter site while preserving quality and stability. With advanced buffer controls and deviation monitoring, it guarantees uninterrupted operation even in demanding network conditions.
License
The software license is valid for a single activation on one computer. If the encoder is moved to new hardware, a new license is required.
