ing the program audio. This is not a consideration for analog-
FM-only broadcasts, but if even one HD program is included in
the
Preset Stations
listing, then timing must be set for a mini-
mum of 30 seconds, 60 seconds to be absolutely sure.
There are additional alarm setup considerations when using the
StationRotation feature; most alarms have time-on/time/off
settings that will affect the
Rotation Time (Sec):
setting. See the
Alarms
discussion beginning on Page 25.

THE LISTENER EXPERIENCE
Definition
The term ‘Listener Experience’ encompasses both the metadata
(artist/title, etc.) text for both the FM and HD Radio programs,
plus the graphic imaging that can optionally accompany each
HD Radio channel. Images can include primary station-identi-
fication tiles, called Logos, and music album artwork or pro-
gram-promotion messages, called Artist Experience.
Display Options
Once a station is tuned, the Listener Experience material will
take some time to load. Setup options at the top of the page
determine how metadata and graphics are displayed. This Web
interface page not only displays what a consumer receiver
shows at the moment, but it collects and saves image files and
their descriptors for later analysis as well.
You’ll find buttons for analog-FM and all eight HD Radio pro-
grams at the top of the page. Any of these buttons may be se-
lected, whether the tuned station has HD programs or not. Se-
lecting these simply creates a display area farther-down on the
page for the associated data and images. To save space, select
only those buttons that are pertinent to the station and pro-
grams you are monitoring. The
Tuner
section of the
Now Playing
page will always alert you to the program channels that are ac-
tive on any given station.
The more important RDS data that accompany the analog-FM
program is presented topmost. HD Radio PAD info and
graphics are stacked below that.
For HD Radio program channels there is another selectable dis-
play option:
Simple | Listener
or
Advanced | Broadcaster
. The first
is the consumer-receiver view, the second the archived graphics
history, respectively.
