Overview TIGER E5 is the top-class Stereo Generator and RDS/RBDS encoder that fulfills every custom requirement, from large national FM networks to local stations. It features the latest technology to deliver highest performance, RDS 2.0 ready, complies with CENELEC specification, provides WEB GUI via browser and SNMP protocol. TIGER E5 supports the most advanced RDS dynamic services, including TMC, ODA, IH, TDC, EWS, Radio Text and Radio Text plus. TIGER E5 allows to interface Radio Automation Systems to display song title, artist and other information. Tiger E5 has 2 Aux inputs, an analog and digital audio input managed by an integrated audio changeover and a MPX changeover. Tiger E5 has a double IP streaming receiver and SD card player managed by a multimedia changeover. Tiger E5 allows the monitoring of each single sources or output and can streams the audio over IP. The built-in ITU BS412 multiplex power controller acts on the output to meet even the most strict European government regulations. Tiger E5 has a high resolution color display that allows the display and insertion of the main machine parameters. www.axeltechnology.com 2
