Want to send Now Playing song data to the you iBiquity HD Radio Importer, from your Radio Playout/Automation system? MetaRadio makes this possible. This article explains the setup of MetaRadio and HD Radio, allowing the current song title and artist to be displayed on HD Radio receivers.

Before you begin, you’ll need to get a free trial or paid license of MetaRadio. For other setup guides, see our MetaRadio Support Site.

Prerequisites

• MetaRadio installed on your PC, with at least one station (automation system) configured
• psdgentx.exe, from iBiquity’s SPS PSDgen SDK package (must be requested from iBiquity themselves, or your equipment manufacturer – we currently cannot distribute this executable ourselves)
• An IP connection to your HD Radio Exciter/Exporter, or Importer. The IP Address and port depends on your specific configuration. The default ports are:
  • HD1 Stations: Send to Port 11000 on your Exporter
  • HD2 Stations: Send to Port 10010 on your Importer
  • HD3 Stations: Send to Port 10011 on your Importer
