Belar FMHD1

Equip your station for years to come with this state of the art HD radio monitor. The FMHD-1 will effortlessly decode HD radio signals and analog FM signals simultaneously, displaying HD radio status, data, time alignment, and configuration information, as well as audio metering and RF and audio spectrums. This two-rack-high unit with 640x240 color LCD display and rotary encoder has a detailed, yet clean and simple user interface.

The FMHD-1 will monitor multiple audio streams and has the potential for simultaneous monitoring of two streams if you add an optional second plug in HD decoder. Its 8 user assignable analog audio outputs and 3 assignable optical AES/EBU outputs provide support for a wide variety of broadcast scenarios.

In addition to an antenna input for monitoring off the air, the FMHD-1 has two high level RF inputs for transmitter site operation. The dual RF inputs allow for monitoring at installations using two transmitters to generate the combined Analog/HD signal.

Older wideband Analog FM monitors out in the field may require pre-filtering in order to remove HD radio sidebands. The FMHD-1 takes care of this by providing two high-quality filtered analog composite outputs for driving these monitors, eliminating this interference.

The FMHD-1 has both RJ-45 10/100 Base-T Ethernet and RS-232 computer interfaces. When used in conjunction with the Wizard for Windows software the FMHD-1 can be viewed remotely with various PC graphing and logging functions available. The unit also provides 4 user assignable relay closures to indicate alarm conditions.
