FELTON, CA — Inovonics, Inc has announced a new firmware upgrade to their 677 EAS Triple Tuner that adds new features to enable compatibility with both today´s EAS hardware solutions and future software-based EAS implementations.

The 677 EAS Triple Tuner continues to interface flawlessly with DASDEC and SAGE EAS hardware. Now, with new firmware Rev 1.1.0.0 the 677 also provides 3 simultaneous audio streams that could be ingested by Software-based EAS, adding longevity to broadcasters’ investment in the 677 EAS Triple Tuner.

The all-digital 677 has three discrete and independent receivers for any combination of AM, FM, or WB reception and monitoring. Each 677 receiver has off-air antenna inputs and balanced monaural XLR outputs.

“We are always looking for ways to improve our products and add greater utility for broadcasters. With this current debate about hardware vs software-based EAS solutions, we wanted to assure customers that their 677 EAS Triple Tuner will continue to do its job well, whether they´re using a hardware EAS solution or future software-based EAS implementation.” says Ben Barber, President & CEO of Inovonics.
