Digitrax DCC PR4 USB to LocoNet Interface with SoundFX Decoder Programmer

The PR4 makes decoder programming and interfacing your layout and computer easier than ever. The PR4 seamlessly switches between computer interface and decoder programming modes automatically without having to press any buttons. The PR4 is electrically isolated between USB and LocoNet for added stability and protection. Packaged in a smaller footprint the PR4 offers all the same great features as the PR3 it replaces.

Using the PR4 Programmer and SoundLoader software:   

• You can substitute different .wav files into a sound project file (.spj) or you can start from scratch and build your own sound project.
• You can download sound projects from the Digitrax Sound Depot web site Sound Depot.
• You can upload sound projects you have created to share with others, too!
• We encourage sound project file sharing among hobbyists.
• You can download a sound project into your Digitrax SoundFX decoder equipped locomotive.
• You can try out sound projects downloaded to your locomotives on the programming track without having to run it around the layout.

The PR4 is a dual-purpose USB 2.0 device - In Programmer Mode, along with SoundLoaderTM software on a PC or Mac computer, the Digitrax PR4 Programmer lets users create, manage, test, and download Digitrax sound projects to SoundFX decoders.

In MS100 Mode, the PR4 interfaces from a Windows-compatible or Mac personal computer to the Digitrax LocoNet system for use by 3rd party software such as Decoder Pro, Railroad and Co*., etc.

Using Digitrax PR4 Programmer and Digitrax SoundLoader TM software with your PC and programming track, you can create, manage, test, and download sound projects (.spj files) in your Digitrax SoundFX decoders. You can customize your Digitrax SoundFX decoders to your hearts content!

Using the SoundTest TM feature you can even try out different SoundFX decoder sound projects. Just put the SoundFX equipped locomotive on the PR3 programming track and use the SoundTest feature to run the speed up or down and set any combination of functions to on or off while the locomotive remains stationary on the programming track.
