Companies everywhere are increasingly occupying smaller physical spaces while also needing to rely more on automated monitoring and alerting. Many publicly traded companies also must navigate compliance issues of proving performance of their radio operations. In an effort to meet those needs MaxxKonnect has partnered with AudioScience® to bring you the RMT416 Streaming Radio Multi Tuner.
The RMT416 is a single rack unit housing its power supply and network connection. There are 4 slots to house the user option tuner cards. Each tuner card features 4 tuners with balanced analog audio outputs for each tuner on a RJ45 connector. When fully populated with 4 tuner cards the RMT416 can host 16 individual tuners in one rack space!
Monitor It All With SNMP
For advanced users or companies wanting to operate a NOC, the RMT416 may be fully monitored by the users’ favorite SNMP polling engine. Based on the configuration of the users SNMP server this allows for monitoring and alerting for:
- Tuner Setting Changes: Band, Frequency, Stereo Lock, HD Channel Acquisition
- Tuner Performance: Received Signal Level, Signal to Noise Ratio
- Audio Performance: Audio Level, Silence Detection, Silence Detection Settings
- Icecast Settings: Icecast Enabled, Mountpoint Settings
Web Based Control
Configuration of the RMT416 is all done from its intuative internal web page. The user is free to select which band and frequency for each tuner. The HD tuners (only availble on Model MK-RMT416/HD) allow the user to “lock” the tuner to any available HD channel permitting discrete monitoring of not only HD1 channels but all sub-channels.
From the internal web page any of the tuners may be listened to via private stream by clicking on the “Monitor” button. One of feature of the RMT416 is that different users logged into the web page may listen to different stations at the same time.
Built-in email silence alerting, including activation thresholds and timing, may be set for each individual tuner or not used at all.
Listen From Anywhere Using Icecast
In addition to being able to stream from its built-in web page the RMT416 can be configured to send audio from any or all of its tuners to a user supplied and configured Icecast Server. In addition to providing live listening for multiple people, there are several readily available programs that can record Icecast. This creates options for off-site logging and listening of air feeds which increasingly is an audit requirement for publicly traded companies.
