Frequently asked questions about RDS encoders (FAQ)

• What is the difference between static and dynamic RDS?

Static RDS shows a fixed text, such as your station name. Dynamic RDS can vary, allowing you to show, for example, the title and artist of the music currently playing.

• Can I connect an RDS encoder to any FM transmitter?

In most cases, yes. Your transmitter must have an MPX input or a dedicated SCA/RDS input to accept the encoder's subcarrier signal.

• Why is UECP support important?

UECP (Universal Encoder Communication Protocol) is the standard by which automation software in the studio communicates with the encoder. This ensures that data such as song titles are updated automatically and error-free.
