PAD / RDS / ADR Data Service Encoders
PadEnc
The PAD encoder is responsible for multiplexing different data sources (dynamic labels and MOT services) and packing them into smaller packets. Those Pakets are sent to a Musicam, RDS- or ADR encoder.
Specifications:
- Platforms: Windows NT, Windows 2000 and Linux
- Minimum Requirements: Pentium 150, 32MByte RAM
- Interfaces: RS232, TCP, UDP
- Target Formats: Ancillary data format for Musicam encoders in DAB-Mode, UEC protocol of RDS/ADR encoders
- Source Formats: ASCII Files, URL, Shell Scripts, Telnet, FHT, Pipe
MotServ
The MOT-Server codes single files, whole directories or arbitrary data streams according to the MOT specification. The server creates so called MOT segments which are sent over a network connection to the PAD encoder. The MOT server itself is capable of managing multiple data sources and sending them simultanously.
Specifications:
- Platforms: Windows NT, Windows 2000 and Linux
- Minimum Requirements: Pentium 150, 32MByte RAM
- Interfaces: TCP
- Target Formats: FHG-MMDS, MotServ (proprietary)
- Source Formats: All Files, Directories, URLs Shell Scripts, MotServ (proprietary)
