Capacity
The ContentDepot receivers are capable of receiving up to a full transponder's worth of data—in any
combination of streams or files—leaving room for growth. The stream decoder has a total of four stereo
outputs. The receiver’s hard disk will handle over 5,000 hours of audio content. Should your station require
additional receivers, it may purchase them through the PRSS.
Layout
The following table lists some considerations for arranging your equipment.

Discussion
Noise
The SFX 4104 Pro Audio receiver should be placed in a location where noise from its
cooling fan will not affect audio quality.
Rack space
Make sure that you have enough rack space for at least one device, considering that each
SFX 4104 Pro Audio receiver requires at least one rack space above and below it, for proper
ventilation. Each receiver requires a minimum of four rack spaces.
L-band feed
Make sure that the rack location allows comfortable ingress of the L-band cables
from the antenna.
Automation
workstation
Make sure that there is nearby desk space for the monitor and keyboard of the
automation system.
Power
Make sure that you have enough AC outlets for your receivers, decoders, and
automation system.
Power
The following table identifies the power requirements for the receivers and decoders.

PRSS strongly recommends that you add an Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) for all ContentDepot
equipment. Like most modern electronic equipment, the receivers are microprocessor-based devices that can
be sensitive to power fluctuations and outages.
