BDI PAS-200 Audio Switcher

Three Switch Mode Control for Professional Master Antenna Applications

The BDI PDC-300 is a purpose-engineered controller designed for master antenna power divider systems where operators require flexible control over dual feed or single feed configurations. Built to meet the needs of modern broadcast operations, it provides precise switching between antenna layers, making it essential for facilities using dual layer antennas. This controller allows seamless management of complex antenna setups without compromising signal stability or operational safety.

Optimized Performance for Dual Layer Antennas

Broadcast systems with dual layer antennas often require selective operation from the upper or lower feed, depending on maintenance schedules, testing, or operational conditions. The PDC-300 meets this requirement with four selectable modes: Main Dual Feed, Upper Only, Lower Only, and Test Mode. These options give engineers the ability to adapt quickly to operational needs, ensuring uninterrupted transmission and reliable performance across all configurations.

Integrated Interlock Management for Safety and System Protection

Safety and equipment protection are built into the PDC-300 with its full interlock management system. This feature ensures that all switching actions adhere to operational safeguards, preventing equipment damage and minimizing downtime. The controller’s compatibility with any interlock system makes it a versatile choice for both new installations and existing infrastructure in broadcast facilities.

SNMP v2 Capability for Advanced Remote Monitoring

The PDC-300 includes SNMP v2 agent functionality, allowing it to interface with modern network management and remote control platforms. This enables engineers to monitor system status, execute switching commands, and respond to operational changes from virtually anywhere. For facilities managing multiple sites or requiring fast remote intervention, SNMP integration delivers efficiency and improved uptime.

Local Control Options for On-Site and Legacy Systems

In addition to networked control, the PDC-300 supports local GPIO connections for direct operation from physical panels or legacy remote control systems. This ensures that even in environments without advanced networking infrastructure, operators can still maintain complete control over antenna configurations. The dual approach to control enhances system flexibility and future-proofs the installation.

Rugged Construction for Continuous Broadcast Operation

Engineered with the same durability found in all BDI RF support equipment, the PDC-300 is designed to perform reliably under the demanding conditions of professional broadcasting. Its sturdy build and proven components make it a dependable choice for both regional stations and large-scale broadcast networks requiring consistent, accurate antenna management.
