BW Broadcast RBRX Encore Rebroadcast Receiver

BW Broadcast RBRX Encore Rebroadcast Receiver

Our first incarnation of the RBRX went on to solve thousands of weak signal issues at crowded transmission sites around the globe setting a new standard for rebroadcast receiver technology. During the last 8 years, whilst the industry has been playing catch up, we’ve been busy improving on this legendary product – and RBRX Encore is the result. Housing two of the world’s most selective and highly sensitive tuners, coupled with the most advanced signal processing capabilities, RBRX Encore is the new pinnacle of rebroadcasting performance.

Whether you are setting up an new installation, or looking to improve an existing one. Make sure you choose a re-broadcast receiver that can pull in weak signals and re-broadcast with clarity, even at difficult sites with changing conditions.

This BW Broadcast RBRX Encore Rebroadcast Receiver has two tuner cards as standard and a whole host of new industry first features including, but not limited to, dual tuner diversity blending using advanced polarisation multi-path cancelling techniques. There’s also still the multi-band L-R adaptive stereo noise reduction pioneered by the RBRX !

TWO TUNERS, WORKING TOGETHER
With two DSP tuners as standard, the RBRX Encore can continuously monitor readings from two separate sources. With it’s unique ‘diversity’ system, it can compare these inputs in real-time, and where necessary, instantaneously and inaudibly crossfade between them, so it’s always working with the best available signal.

PROFESSIONAL PROCESSING
As a company with deep roots in audio processing, we’ve utilized decades of experience to include an enhanced DSP audio limiter and stereo generator, as well as user control over dozens of audio & RF settings such as de-emphasis, stereo blending, and IF bandwidths. The RBRX Encore can also deliver extremely clean and reconstructed composite outputs to feed your translator or rebroadcast installation directly.

REMOTE CONTROL
HTML5, FTP, Telnet, SNMP & RS232 Remote Control with IP streaming allows you to monitor and control your processor from anywhere in the world. Even listen in over an IP connection.

BEAUTY AND BRAINS
The front panel is machined from a single block of aluminum with a high contrast OLED displaying the menu system and tri-coloured LED blocks providing clear, real-time metering.
The  silicone soft keys work dynamically with the display to control the most significant functions and the electronics are all wrapped up into our lightweight brushed aluminum chassis.
