too weak to be received properly. When Enable
Blend is checked, the receiver blends from the HD
Radio signal back to the analog broadcast signal.
The Enable Blend setting affects how the HD
Radio receivers operate, which means that it also
affects how much Diversity Delay is required to
align the analog broadcast with the HD Radio sig-
nal. Since Enable Blend is normally checked, you
should ensure that it is checked prior to setting
the Diversity Delay.
To set the Enable Blend option, click on the
De-
lay Control
menu item, then click Enable Blend
to check the option.
3.5.3.3 Enable Ballpark Mode
Clicking on
Enable Ballpark Mode
will check
mark this option (unchecking
Enable Blend
) and
will immediately begin ramping down the Diver-
sity Delay to zero.
This function can be used for live broadcasts of
sporting events so that the FM broadcast listeners
at the ballpark will hear a low latency signal (al-
though most likely there will still be Profanity de-
lay of several seconds). The
Enable Blend
func-
tion will be temporarily overridden and the blend
bit turned off in the HD Radio stream.
Ballpark mode is canceled by either sending a
cancel Ballpark mode command from a Studio re-
mote panel or by clicking
Enable Blend
.
Profanity Delay Settings Window
3.5.4 PROFANITY MENU
The HDE-200 Exporter has an optional feature
that can provide up to thirty-five seconds of pro-
fanity delay protection. Profanity delay controls
and the profanity delay settings are accessed
through the
Profanity
menu item. This menu item
is grayed out if the optional Profanity Delay fea-
ture is not active.
Enable Profanity (Ramp On) and Disable Pro-
fanity (Ramp Off) are mutually exclusive settings.
Checking Enable Profanity ramps up the Profan-
ity Delay to the current stored value of Total Pro-
fanity Duration. Checking Disable Profanity
(Ramp Off) causes the Profanity Delay to begin
ramping to zero delay.
