Designed for fixed and
portable ISS Information Radio Systems, the NX8R Digital Message
Player allows operators to record up to 1,000
broadcast messages and store 3 hours of recordings in
nonvolatile flash memory. This means, no message (battery) backup is
required. Additionally, NX8R provides 8 external
contacts to initiate various message playlists, live audio
segments and event sequences.
NX8R is a direct upgrade to
earlier RAM-based ISS digital message players (AP55 and IP8) with
similar protocols and command sets, so relearning protocols is kept to a minimum
for existing operators.
Features listed in red below
are exclusive to the NX8R Digital Message Player. |
Standard Features
-
Voicemail-style natural voice
operation with 800-word/phrase capability; voice prompts and
status report on available recording time, sequences, security
codes, programming parameters and complete status of current
audio program, relay states, power.

Identical remote and
local control codes.
-
High quality
(16-bit sampling rate) recording process,
yielding 5500-Hz dynamic range.
-
One thousand independent
broadcast messages that may be of any length. Each message may
be independently monitored and later erased, as desired.
-
Automatic message scheduling
by time, day, date. Internal time clock never requires setting,
keeping time even with total loss of power.
-
Fifty message playlists that
may contain hundreds of broadcast messages, up to three live
sources (each with independent timing control), command for up
to four external relays, other (nested) playlists and differing
output levels for each audio output. Playlists may be created,
recreated or appended locally or remotely.

Three hours of recordable
time in dynamic flash memory.

separate and independent live program feeds, each with
independent audio level controls.

Three audio outputs with
audio levels settable locally, remotely or programmed to change
automatically.

One- to nine-digit security
access code, defeat-able phone prompting, programmable locally or
remotely. User-settable number of retries and timeout period for
maximum security.
-
Five-second and full-message
survey monitoring of all stored messages and playlists.
-
Eight prioritized control
closures to trigger message sequences remotely.

Control closure
prioritization allows automatic interrupts for emergency
messages and automatic National Weather Service all-hazard radio
notifications (weather and EAS).

control, including the same voice prompts and control
options.

optional 2-way redundant control (described above). |
