-II | RADIO | TV | EOC
Second Generation Network-Centric Emergency Messaging Platform
Built for today. Ready for tomorrow.
The original DASDEC set the standard with its integrated receivers, advanced hardware
interfaces, simple software upgrades, and network-based design. The DASDEC-II improves
on this platform by leveraging common information exchange protocols and offering the on
broadest range of physical connections and 3
rd
-party interfaces in the industry. And the
DASDEC-II is designed with the future in mind, so when the inevitable change happens you’re
prepared with a host of additional hardware and software options. Here are some examples:
• Use any standard web-browser on PC’s, Mac’s, even Smartphones
1
- to view, change or
activate DASDEC functions – anywhere, over an IP network. No special software, steep
learning curves, or IT support.
• With its optional three internal receivers
2
, the DASDEC-II can monitor any standard AM/
FM/WX frequency, on any individual receiver with band selection, tuning, level adjustment
and even live audio monitoring over the network.
• EAS alert details are presented on an integrated NTSC character generator
3
screen, or
connect the DASDEC to a wide range of other 3
rd
-party CGs for crawling text overlays or
automation control.
• An internal MPEG encoder option presents EAS text and audio for direct insertion into
digital broadcast streams saving money and complexity over any external MPEG encoder
system.
• Integrated stereo analog and digital (AES) audio switching with fail-safe bypass to pass
signals unimpeded in the event of power failure.
• Four independent Ethernet network connections (speeds up to 1Gb
4
) more effectively
manage access and firewalls across domains without complex bridges or modifying
existing network equipment
• EAS-Net software offers comprehensive EAS data and audio communication between
DASDEC and other EAS-Net compatible devices
• Be first with breaking news – DASDEC’s unique and powerful software architecture
allows multiple users to monitor the situation in real-time, not waiting for paper printing, or
reading a small scrolling display. Everyone with access can see alerts as they’re
happening — SIMULTANEOUSLY. That’s right, all at the same time. And because you can
see the information without special software or displays, the number of users is virtually
limitless.
Act locally. Think globally
The DASDEC-II with optional MultiStation™ software handles full EAS compliance for up to 5
unique stations or channels regardless of location; co-located – in the same physical location -
or anywhere over an IP-network. Visit our website or see the “DASDEC MultiStation for
Remote and Centralcasting” brochure for more information on this exciting technology.
