DESCRIPTION
The XDS-PRO4Q Series is a digital audio receiver used by radio stations to receive audio broadcasts
from a satellite or IP (Internet) distributed radio network. This is used to receive live broadcasts as
well as programs to be stored and played later. The PRO4Q provides the radio network the ability to
target their advertising to specific locations so each receiver in a network can play localized spots
and other content. In addition to copy splitting, it enables spot rotation, scheduling live, store and
forward programs, audio insertion, and digital live recording with play back to delay time zone feeds.
NETWORK AUDIO SOLUTIONS
Broadcast radio networks enjoy unprecedented audio quality, centralized programming and control
of receivers, live and stored programs, localized advertizing, and a cost effective end-to-end solution.

NETWORK MANAGEMENT
Each XDS-PRO4Q can be fully controlled by the Pico Digital XNMS. Combined with XNMS, this
feature rich system solution provides closed loop management of each receiver including digital
rights management, live authorizations, content download/local playback, firmware updates
and remote storage management. Additionally, receiver health, as-run logging and performance
attributes can be collected and forwarded back to the XNMS.
• Remote control via XNMS

PROVEN SOLUTIONS
Professional Grade at a Consumer Price
Live Audio Record/Playback (Time Shifting)
The XDS-PRO4Q receiver is designed as a professional device
enabling networks to provide enhanced capability without a large
investment in hardware. The PRO4Q has up to four audio outputs
with 32 relays. Pico Digital offers a StarGuide-compatible XDS-PRO
that may be used in existing StarGuide networks.
The PRO4Q is capable of recording and playing back any broadcast
channel. This enables the network/station to time shift content to the
proper air-prime. Content can be recorded into its local or networked
storage.
Live Broadcasts over Satellite or IP Networks
The PRO4Q provides live decoding of broadcast media. It can receive
MPEG/DVB via live satellite or IP networks (Internet). Each live stream
can be routed to any of the balanced output. Additionally, each live
stream can be digitally mixed with another live stream or a stored file
play-back for maximum flexibility.
The PRO4Q is equipped with up to 32 programmable Form-A
relays. These relays can be actuated via network control or ancillary
data channels. This provides a legacy interface for many existing
radio station automation systems. Additionally, opto inputs provide
automation directly into the PRO4Q receiver. A balanced audio input
is also available to allow station by-pass by network.
Store & Forward And File Delivery
Accountability
Media files can be stored into internal SSD, HDD or a external NAS.
Each PRO4Q logs its activity. The network can decide what events are
logged and how often they are reported to the network. This includes
receiver performance, spot play, live play, time zone delays and all
other programming controls. The optional off-air monitor module can
also record and tag content received via AM/FM signals.
Copy Spot Insertion
Audio files residing on the mounted device can be inserted into live
or recorded media being output via the MPEG decoder. This feature
allows localization of live, live stored, or pre-recorded programming.
Advanced Scheduling
Networks or affiliates can schedule live, delayed, or store and forward
programs through a friendly web based interface.
Automation Ready
Watermarking (Optional)
The network can watermark all audio content that plays out of the
receiver. Watermark includes Serial Number and port of the receiver,
program or commercial ID, and station ID.
