Audemat's GOLDENEAGLE HD Evolves to Offer Innovative New RDS, HD Data and Remote Control Functionality
With a significant installed base throughout the United States, the GOLDENEAGLE HD has for several years been the preferred tool of broadcasters needing critical, real-time information about their HD, AM and FM signals. A key element in its success is its feature-rich architecture which offers an optional spectrum analyzer/digital demodulator and transmitter remote control capabilities in addition to the core modulation monitor.
Significant additional functionality in both hardware and software
The new GOLDENEAGLE V2 adds significant additional functionality in both hardware and software to this already feature-packed unit. On the software side, the innovative V2 offers three key new benefits to broadcasters:
• Advanced RDS Monitoring Capabilities
The GOLDENEAGLE HD V2 now offers analysis of RDS groups distribution, AID monitoring, and the remote streaming of raw RDS data.
• Advanced Monitoring of HD Data
With the ability to monitor many new HD data signals such as UFID (iTunes HD Tagging), IBOC BER and PAD, the GOLDENEAGLE HD V2 offers the broadcaster a highly detailed insight into their network and, the opportunity to take corrective action quickly. For example, with PAD monitoring, the Goldeneagle HD V2 can be configured so that an alarm is triggered if the PAD fails to change.
• Support for Scripteasy V2
The GOLDENEAGLE HD V2 can be utilised as a powerful facility control with or without the addition of input/output interfaces. Scripteasy V2, the revolutionary software application supplied with the GOLDENEAGLE HD V2 allows for easy graphical scripting to fully automate the process of event triggering on out-of-tolerance conditions. This new version also supports SNMO communication for control and monitoring of other devices on the network.

Commenting on the launch of the new GOLDENEAGLE HD V2, Christophe Poulain, President of WorldCast Systems Inc said, “The new GOLDENEAGLE HD V2 delivers several substantial benefits over and above those of the original unit. The functionality and flexibility of this device is unrivalled in the marketplace and we anticipate significant demand both from potential new customers and our existing GOLDENEAGLE users.”
