INTRODUCTION 

SOFIA 565 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION 

 ‘SiteStreamers’ 

Defined 

Inovonics’ SiteStreamers™  are Web-enabled, off-air radio re-

ceivers that allow broadcasters to monitor their stations from a 

remote  location  beyond  the  normal  coverage  area.    Using  any  

computer or mobile device, station personnel can listen to the 

audio program and read associated metadata and signal met-

rics. 
The elite SiteS™ (‘plus’) series includes additional fea-

tures.  The SOFIA 565 has AoIP connectivity and can provide a 

signal metrics history of an entire broadcast day, as well as val-

idating and displaying RDS/RBDS program-related metadata. 

Product 

Features 

Leading features of the Inovonics SOFIA 565 include: 

 

All-digital “SDR” (Software-Defined Radio) off-air re-

ception of analog-FM and RDS/RBDS data. 

 

Stays on-channel and holds user settings through sig-

nal and power losses. 

 

Provides analog, AES3-digital, HTTP/UDP Web-stream-

ing and independent AoIP-streaming program audio 

outputs. 

 

Collects and displays a history of signal parameters. 

 

StationRotation™ allows automatic sequential monitor-

ing of multiple stations. 

 

Dispatches  SMS-text  or  email  messages  to  specific  in-

dividuals for various alarm conditions; logs alarms 

chronologically with the internal real-time clock. 

 

Intuitive, menu-driven front-panel setup.  The built-in 

Web server allows remote setup and full operation over 

any IP network.  Supports SNMP remote monitoring. 

 

The built-in BandScanner™ utility gives a spectrum 

plot  of  the  entire  FM  band,  or  a  specific  portion,  and  

notes stations on-screen through RDS identification.
