Product Details
MAGIC DABMUX plus can be used for small-scale solutions as well as for high-end systems. The device is realized as a 19“ x 1U system with integrated power supply and a redundant 12V power supply. The reliable signal processor-based system has three Gbit Ethernet interfaces which allow the configuration of up to three IP addresses per interface as well as VLANs. The system also provides 2 x USB 2.0 interfaces and an SD card slot for further applications. Via a module slot, the system can optionally be expanded with an ETI E1/2-Mbit or a Dual LAN module. The system has a graphical, coloured display, but a more comfortable control, monitoring and very simple configuration is possible via a HTML5-compatible web browser.
Up to 25 program providers can be connected via external Audio Encoders. An installation of the Encoders directly in the studio avoids effectively an interference in Audio quality because of Codec cascading.
Optionally, integrated Audio Encoders with AES67 or Webstream input are available. In this case, 14 programs using only AES67, or a maximum of 13 internal programs using web streams can be input.
External and integrated encoders can be used in combination.
The unit also supports automated operation in redundant headends. As an alternative to using the MAGIC SDC, integrated seamless redundancy switching is also optionally possible.
In addition, the system offers dynamic reconfigurations (manual or scheduled), an integrated PAD/NPAD inserter, subchannel extraction via EDI with simplified selection through analysis of the incoming signal, announcement support, service linking support, simplified provision of the program logo via SPI (EPG), audio encoder and multiplexer redundacy, etc.
Ember+ and DHD SetLogic are available for signalling announcements. In general, all announcements (except OE announcements) are supported according to ETSI TS 101 756.
The Service Monitor Upgrade allows monitoring all subchannels in the ensemble via the web interface.
Options
DAB+ FhG Audio Encoder Upgrade 1-Program
The upgrade allows the use of an integrated DAB+ encoder licensed by FhG. This ensures the best possible audio quality even at low bit rates.
Up to 14 encoders can be activated per multiplexer.
The number of encoders is limited to 13 when using web streams.
For the audio input, corresponding AES67 2-Channel Upgrade or Webstream Input Upgrade licences are required.
Service Monitor Upgrade
The Service Monitor upgrade allows the monitoring of any programme of the ensemble directly in the user interface.
PAD decoding and service information are supported by the Service Monitor.
ASA Automatic Safety Alert Upgrade
The ASA feature allows an emergency warning to be triggered within a specific region using location codes on one or more DAB/DAB+ ensembles. This enables listeners to be informed of potentially life-threatening events such as fires or floods.
The ASA feature includes a wake-up function so that ASA-compatible DAB/DAB+ receivers can be activated even when in sleep mode. Alerts are categorized into two levels of severity: level 1 is evaluated by all receivers, while level 2 is only evaluated by receivers that are switched on.
Dynamic labels can be used together with the audio if a visual message is required.
Emergency Warning Break-In Upgrade
The EWB upgrade, besides setting the correct announcement flag, enables the simultaneous replacement of all audio content by an emergency announcement. This ensures that the announcement is audible even with older receivers. One additional MAGIC AE1 DAB+ Go, MAGIC AE4 or an integrated Audio Encoder is required as emergency audio source.
Cable Upgrade
An additional operating mode for cable networks is offered with the Cable Upgrade. The EDI input signal is analysed. The EDI output signal can be reformatted, the protection level and the service label can be changed.
Switch Redundancy Upgrade
The upgrade extends a redundant multiplexer system with seamless EDI/ETI* redundancy switching for 2-way distribution of the EDI/ETI* signal.
*) ETI is only available when the system is equipped with an ETI module.
Redundancy+ Upgrade
The upgrade enables 1-way ETI* distribution. The two redundant multiplexer systems monitor each other so that only one of the two systems sends the signal at a time. Both the transmit and destination IP address can be configured identically on both multiplexers.
The output of the backup system is connected to the input of the main system. Switching to the ETI level is in most cases seamless. In case of a power failure of the main system, the signal of the backup system is looped through via a bypass relay.
The function requires the Switch Redundancy Upgrade.
*) Available only when the system is equipped with an ETI module.
DAB System Manager Upgrade
The DAB System Manager upgrade allows the management and monitoring of all AVT DAB Headend System components via an HTML5-compatible browser. Currently, the systems MAGIC DABMUX Go, MAGIC DABMUX plus, MAGIC AE1 DAB+ Go and MAGIC AE4 DAB/DAB+ Encoder are supported. The integration of the MAGIC EEC/SDC family will take place in a later release.
Key features are:
- Common system monitoring
- Redundancy view with manual main/backup path switching
- Common log file of all system components using an SQL database
- Email alert
- Unlimited number of users with assignable rights
- Central firmware update of all components
AES67 2-channels Upgrade
When using the integrated encoders, audio can be fed in via AES67. A licence is required for each stereo input (2 channels).
With the first AES67 licence, two AES67 stereo outputs (4-channels) are automatically enabled for monitoring purposes. Via the web interface, each AES67 audio input can be comfortably monitored.
The AES67 implementation is compatible with DANTE/RAVENNA/LIVEWIRE streams supporting SAP.
A maximum of 14 stereo inputs is possible.
The AES67 upgrade requires corresponding DAB+ FhG Audio Encoder Upgrades.
Webstream Input Upgrade
When using the integrated encoders, the audio feed can be provided via Icecast and SHOUTcast webstreams. A licence is required for each stereo input (2-channels).
Currently, a maximum of 13 stereo inputs are possible.
The Webstream Input Upgrade requires corresponding DAB+ FhG Audio Encoder Upgrades.
ETI-Modul
The system can be optionally expanded with an ETI 2-Mbit module via a module slot. In the event of a device failure, the ETI input is connected to the ETI output via a relay.
Dual LAN Upgrade
With the Dual LAN Upgrade, the system can be expanded by two 100 Mbps Ethernet interfaces, so that a total of five Ethernet interfaces are available.
Please note that either the Dual LAN Module or the ETI Module can be equipped.
Redundant Power Supply
A 12 V desktop power supply unit is optionally available.
