WorldCast Systems has released a new version of the software guts of its Ecreso AiO FM transmitter family.
Version 3.2.1 has a “complete refactoring of the onboard APT IP decoder, now supporting the AES67 standard,” according to the announcement.
Additional improvements include, “the management of automatic switching between external exciters and internal direct-to-channel digital modulators, enhancing redundancy and transforming the AiO series into an amplifier for future applications.”
Version 3.2.1 also introduces “static synchronization of audio between multiple transmitters, ideal for technically demanding applications like SFN networks, ensuring clear and interference-free transmission over the air.”
Rounding out the upgrade are “various aspects of the transmitter, including RDS encoding, IceCast and ShoutCast streaming, SNMP, seven-day graphical history logs, cybersecurity, and easier initial setup of WorldCast’s SmartFM for energy savings.”
WorldCast Systems Product Manager David Houzé said, “With this new release, we continue to lay the foundation for a more straightforward, compact, and reliable transmitter site. The journey is ongoing, with more software features to come.”
