Radio All In one: the first unit of its kind on the market to combine many features
NEXT FM comes in three different packs: standard, high quality or re-broadcasting pack and seven different versions to match as many requirements as possible. “This is Radio all in One” states
Ecreso 1, 20 or 100 W exciter:
It has low distortion < 0.05 % and the best FM S/N ratio > 80 dB. It also has a very good channel separation up to 50 dB over the whole band and PLL controlled by microprocessor. It is adjustable from 2 to 20W or 10 to 100W (depending on version). Those exciters are compatible with Ecreso amplifiers or any other brand available on the market.
Digital stereo generator:
The NEXT FM includes an extremely accurate and stable digital stereo generator that allows the audio bandwidth to be extended to 17 kHz without affecting the pilot!
Basic RDS functions standard: artist name, song title, PS scrolling:
Users can choose between a basic RDS encoder or an advanced RDS encoder for TMC, ODA, Scheduler capabilities etc…Engineers will benefit from Audemat’s world leading experience in RDS.
A unique digital audio processing system:
It is a world-class audio processor, the first one in its class available on the market either in 2, 4 or 6 bands. The 4 band version features 2.8 Giga flops of processing power which allows a sampling frequency for processing of 192 kHz and a sampling frequency for the final clipper at 1.5 MHz. The NEXT FM provides an analog feel to the sound with the accuracy you would expect from a digital processor. “The DSPs in the ECRESO NEXT FM feature one of the highest calculation rates available to date (4 giga-flops).” States
3 levels of audio backup:
The user defines timing and cross fades: if digital audio fails switch to analog input, if digital and analog fail switch to web stream (new), if all of the above fail play audio stored on internal hard drive This is a unique Audio over IP feature – the first available on the market in this type of equipment.
Remote control:
The option is delivered with the new SCRIPTEASY V2 - Graphic control software. An API is available for transmitter remote control over a serial connection.
Reliability and efficiency:
The ECRESO R&D team worked specifically on the reliability of the unit to avoid any potential failure. In fact, the operating system is contained within flash memory to insure continued operation in case of the remote possibility of hard drive failure. The NEXT FM includes 2 power supplies for maximum redundancy in the 100 W standard and both 20 W and 100 W high quality version. The unit is very efficient as it replaces several units at the site.
Availability:
Standard and high quality pack will be available in June 2008; retransmitter pack will be available on the 2nd half of 2008

...- 2008-04-28 - - Audemat to release software V1.5 for Goldeneagle HD
- Major improvements for the #1 HD monitor in the market
Bordeaux-Mérignac, France – Wednesday, April 02, 2008, AUDEMAT announced in advance of the NAB2008 that they are releasing software version 1.5 for the Goldeneagle HD. “This release includes major new features for AM users, and significant enhancements for FM, making the Goldeneagle HD a very complete, unique, high-end HD Monitor.” states Christophe Poulain, Executive Vice President of Audemat Inc. This is the last software update that will be provided at no charge by AUDEMAT. Future software releases will be covered under a service contract or purchased individually. The new software version will be showcased on the Audemat booth N7932 at NAB2008.
New AM Functions:
Goldeneagle HD now includes modulation monitoring for AM frequencies in both real time and recorded measurements. Both negative and positive AM Modulation are measured. This information is available using the PC software or the touch screen. Goldeneagle HD also can make a scan and detect all stations on the AM band (whether analog or digital). The user can add frequencies to the list of stations to be monitored by clicking on the chart generated by the market scan. To perform these new functions, the existing units must have the spectrum analyzer option installed.
Improvements for FM:
The Goldeneagle HD software V1.5 improves the effective resolution bandwidth (RBW) of the spectrum analyzer to 1 kHz! This is a major step in compliance with NRSC 5A measurement standard. Fixed and mobile markers are also now available on the spectrum analyzer display.
General improvements:
The SMTP page has been enhanced to allow user control of the subject line and the first line of the body of alarm e-mails.

Bordeaux-Mérignac, France – Wednesday,... - 2008-04-28 - - Audemat to launch Navigator DVB S/H at NAB 2008
- The first portable equipment on the market for DVB S/H measurement
Bordeaux-Mérignac, France – Wednesday, April 02, 2008, AUDEMAT (www.audemat.com) announced that they are introducing at NAB2008 on their booth N7932 the NAVIGATOR DVB S/H. It is the first test and measurement equipment for lab and field use in DVB-SH. This unit is the result of an R&D from Alcatel-Lucent to develop test and Measurement for DVB-SH. The NAVIGATOR DVB-SH has been designed to perform mobile measurement campaigns for DVB-T, DVB-H and DVB-SH networks and is compatible with S-UMTS and VHF/UHF bands. This portable equipment can be used either in a vehicle moving at normal speed or by a pedestrian (indoors or outdoors). The NAVIGATOR DVB-SH includes a high quality receiver for accurate DVB-SH measurements. When the mobile measurement campaign is finished, the DVB Reader software automatically performs a quality analysis: all the essential parameters are compared to standardized values and an overall quality indicator is generated (Good, Average or Bad). These indicators can also be displayed on a map, so that users can evaluate instantaneously their coverage quality. In addition the NAVIGATOR DVB-SH can be used for installation of DVB-SH terrestrial repeaters that complement satellite coverage. “The NAVIGATOR DVB-SH is the first mobile test and measurement equipment DVB-SH-by-Alcatel approved on the market” States Jean-Baptiste Roux VP of Sales for Audemat. “It is capable of measuring and determining the reception quality of a mobile DVB-H and DVB-SH TV signal”. This unit has been developed in partnership with Teamcast and UDCAST, two DVB specialists (Audemat and Teamcast), part of the Alcatel DVB-SH work group. Audemat used its expertise in mobile Test and Measurement systems to develop a laboratory type equipment that remains rugged and user friendly. This unit targets TELCO operators or manufacturers like Alcatel (France), Orange (France), ICO (USA) or Broadcasters such as RAI (Italy) or SFR (France) that are working on pilot projects for mobile TV broadcasting in DVB-SH. Several DVB-SH deployments are happening around the world at this time. “The NAVIGATOR DVB-SH is the first unit of its kind which combines laboratory grade equipment for transmitter installation and validation of the transmitter’s settings; and mobile test equipment to mesure the quality of reception” state Nicolas Boulay VP R&D for Audemat. “This product is very important for the US market with the coming introduction of DVB-SH by ICO and other operators” States Christophe Poulain, VP of Sales for Audemat Inc. Audemat will be organizing some tests with ICO during the NAB show.
