U.DAB launches largest small-scale DAB multiplex in the U.K.
WorldCast Systems has announced the expansion of its Ecreso FM AiO Series with two new products and a major software update. The new additions extend the AiO Series’ portfolio up to 2 kW, addressing the medium power needs of broadcasters with 1 kW HR (high redundancy) and 2 kW transmitters in a compact 3U form factor.
The new Ecreso FM AiO Series transmitters feature dual hot-swappable power supply units (PSU), two fans, and two RF pallets. This redundancy ensures continuous operation even if a component fails.
“We are extending the Ecreso FM AiO Series with these medium-power transmitters,” said David Houzé, Ecreso product manager at WorldCast Systems. “These enhancements provide robust and efficient solutions for broadcasters.”
The 1kW HR and 2kW models will be available for testing by the end of this year, with production shipments starting in Q1 2025.
WorldCast Systems is also releasing software version 3.3.0 for the entire AiO Series range (100 W–2 kW). This update focuses on SFN applications, integrating a built-in GPS receiver for internal clock references and 10 MHz and 1PPS outputs for peripheral equipment. The APT IP Decoder has been updated to include APT SynchroStream technology for audio content synchronization over the network and a new Hot Standby Mode for automatic stream switching in case of connection loss.
The AiO Series now supports the latest SNMP v3 revision, enhancing the security and management capabilities of FM transmitter fleets.
WorldCast Systems will display these new advancements at the IBC 2024, booth 8C61.
