DOLPHIN is an easy to use dynamic RDS encoder which supports all services and features in common use. It ensures the purest modulation quality and long term reliability thanks to its state-of-the-art, high-speed digital technology,

Beside management of PS and RT in a traditional manner, DOLPHIN boosts new PS management features: it eliminates every PS programming constraint and leaves the maximum freedom in terms of message length, save / recalling facilities and message editing masks.

Furthermore, featuring a true ASCII communication protocol, DOLPHIN can be easily and quickly interfaced to any hard disk automation systems, for song and artist identification on PS fields and much more.

A Pc control software comes with the unit and it it allows the settings in an easy way of all RDS data and of signal generation parameters
