PTX-DDS
9.5 16-bit CPU Card
The CPU card is located at the front end of the device and is secured to the panel
card.
This card is the heart of the transmitter as it handles and processes all information
provided by the other cards and by other devices connected through the serial
interface or the telemetry card.
The 1Mb Flash Memory enables firmware update through direct connection of
PTX-DDS

9.6 TRDSP Card
The TRDSP is a DSP-based digital circuit that performs the following tasks:
• input selection, level adjustment and processing (filtering and preemphasis)
• stereophonic coding
• RDS (Radio Data System) signal generation.
The TRDSP accepts audio inputs in digital form (AES/EBU) or Left and Right
analogue inputs that are immediately converted into digital format (A/D). A digital
input is automatically selected when present, but analogue input selection can be
forced with the appropriate software settings.
The MPX stereophonic signal “ (“Main”, “Sub” and 19 kHz subcarrier) is generated
directly in digital form, starting with the Left and Right digital (or digitalised)
channels.
The RDS is generated directly by DSP and then digitally added to the stereophonic
audio signal. The messages transmitted by the RDS coder are programmed using
a PC software supplied with the machine. It also possible to disable the internal
RDS coder and use an external coder.
The TRDSP includes a support panel with the input and output connectors.
