HDR-CC

The HD Radio Capture Client (HDR-CC) is a device that fits perfectly with generation 4 HD radio systems. It can take in one digital or analog stereo audio channel and provide it to an Importer. Compressed with an HD Radio codec, the audio is sent via IP. This enables setups that allow the supplemental channels like HD2, HD3 or HD4 to be located remotely from the Importer. Thanks to the HDR-CC's basic sound processing capabilities, the supplemental channels can be more equal in loudness compared to the main program service—or the sound processing just fits better to your content. The only thing you have to do is to set up the Importer IP and directly connect audio to the small box's XLR connectors. Power over ethernet or external power supplies are supported to simplify the wiring. Complicated audio switching to meet the requirements for emergency alerts are no longer necessary. Because of a new feature implemented by XPERI into the latest generation 4 importers, the entire emergency alert for all supplemental channels on the transmitter can be provided by just one HDR-CC. It requires a setup that just has AES audio connected to the capture client as well as a GPI to trigger the alarm. When the alarm is triggered, the HDR-CC logs into the Importer and replaces all supplemental channels (HD2-HD4) with the alarm program. After the GPI is released, the HDR-CC logs out and the Importer continues with its normal operation.
