DESCRIPTION
The Tiernan ABR202A digital audio receiver is your solution for broadcasting audio by satellite. Applications include radio program and news distribution, point-of-purchase audio with advertising insertion, and data broadcast distribution. Compared to the ABR202, the ABR202A adds the following benefits:

• Saves rack space by utilizing a 1RU chassis
• Provides additional convenience with front panel, telnet and browser control
• Upgrade to MCPC audio and IP data receiver

Along with CD-quality audio, each ABR202A outputs RS-232 or RS-422 asynchronous data, receiver control signals, and cue signals (relay closures).

AUDIO COMPRESSION
The ABR202A receiver uses the ISO/MPEG Layer II compression algorithm, an industry standard with international support.
