5 Text Sources

This tool can update Dynamic PS, Radiotext or both by actual text produced by
your broadcast automation system or similar external application.

The text processing scheme is as follows:
Reading from file → Characters cutting → Processing Options →

 

(Adding prefix)

To get it working, set all parameters, then check the From file box.
Dynamic PS and/or Radiotext must be Enabled.

5.1 Dynamic PS, Radiotext

From file 

If enabled, reads the text from specified text file.
This can be for example "now-playing" file, music
log file etc. Wildcards ("*" and "?") are supported
as well (the most actual file found will be read).
Next time the file will be read again when the text
changes.

Send on change 

Sends data to the RDS encoder when the text
source file changes. Enabled by default.

Read from 

Determines from which line the text has to be
read.

Cut characters from

Cuts redundant or unwanted characters from the

beginning/end

text.

Prefix 

Prefix placed before the text, for example “Now
playing: ”.

5.2 Options

ANSI Character code

Affects how national characters are converted

conversion

before sending to RDS encoder. The middle
option is recommended as it ensures readability of
national characters on all receivers using
conversion to similar characters from basic set.

DPS Mode 0 Justification  Text justification for the Dynamic PS. Applies only

if mode 0 is selected.
Fill with - Character used to fill the free space
around the words.
