DYNAMIC RDS
IMPORTANT NOTE:
The Stereo Generator, Basic RDS and Dynamic RDS will work only
when the device uses MP3 or IP Audio as audio source. When Main and AUX are used, Main or
AUX MPX input will be played.
Dynamic PS
‘marches’ the message across the display screen one character at a time. The message requires
a much longer transmission time in this mode, but a glance at the radio display a few seconds still
allows the driver to get the full message without missing words.
Scroll Speed
– The speed of dynamic PS messaging is set here, or dynamic PS messaging can
be turned off entirely. When 0 - DPS Disabled is selected, the dynamic PS message remains in the
nonvolatile encoder memory, but only the 8-character default static “street name” typed into the PS
field (Basic RDS) will be displayed on the receiver faceplate. Setting the speed at 1 - Slowest will
result in the slowest refresh rate of the ‘block’ message, or slowest safe scrolling. 9 - Fastest is the
fastest speed, but many RDS radios display gibberish at high speed settings. The display should be
stable with any radio at a speed setting of 7 or lower.
Parse Mode
– sets the scroll step to be used in the “block” mode message transmission, more
popular as ‘grouped-word’ method. Once Parse Mode option is set, this encoder function is valid
for any scrolling-PS message, whether it is entered into the static DPS register, or received as ASCII
text from station automation. Very short words are sent together in groups. For example,
THIS IS
constitutes seven characters that can be sent as a group. The same is applicable for
OF THE
or
NOW HERE
, also. Longer words, up to and including 8 characters, are sent individually:
WARNING
or
DOUGHNUT
or
BICYCLE
. The device can either center words that are sent individually on
the radio display or left-justify them. This will be covered along with the function of the ‘DPS
Scroll Step’. Words that exceed the available 8 characters are ‘sidestepped’ through two or more
consecutive displays. Examples:
EMERGENC
followed by
MERGENCY
, or
SUPERMAR
followed
by
UPERMARK
and
PERMARKE
and
ERMARKET
. This method of splitting words gives a good
