Digital Radio Mondiale to be trialled in India in May The Digital Radio Mondiale (DRM) Consortium, AIR-India and the ABU will jointly launch a DRM trial in India next month to help pave the way for the digitalisation of the country's radio services.
The trial is targeted at mediumwave (MW) radio broadcasters, equipment manufacturers, radio receiver manufacturers and retailers. It is expected to run from 7 to12 May, conducted on AIR transmitters in New Delhi. The project aims to demonstrate the feasibility of the relatively new technology of Channel Simulcast (SCS) and Multi-Channel Simulcast (MCS), while broadcasting analogue and digital radio signals using only one transmitter. The ABU and AIR will be assisted by the DRM Consortium and DRM's members, Thomson and Hitachi Electric Kokusai as well as Universidad del Pais Vasco based in Spain. DRM is the world's only open standard, universal, digital on-air system for short-wave, medium-wave/AM and long-wave. "Given that this region has some of the largest number of MW radio broadcasters, we believe that successful trials and measurements will pave the way for easy and cost effective transition to DRM transmissions," said Sharad Sadhu, ABU Head of Transmission, Technology and Spectrum. DRM Chairman Peter Senger said: "We are proud and very happy that these tests will become a reality now and we would like to thank all parties involved. We see a great potential for the DRM system in Asia." David Birrer, of Thomson Radio Broadcasting Marketing & Strategy, said: "A smooth transition to DRM will bring AIR a lot of new possibilities for local and national services, while generally enhancing the popularity of the medium. "In addition, DRM makes much more efficient use of the existing broadcast infrastructure." http://www.abu.org.my/public/dsp_page.cfm?articleid=2840&urlsectioni d=1061&specialsection=ART_FULL&pageid=247&PSID=3372 Tuesday 24 Apr 2007 http://zlgr.multiply.com (raidio monitoring site plus audio clips ) http://www.worldisround.com/articles/302315/ (Litohoro) 321199/Tinos http://www.flickr.com/photos/zachgr pictures upload . on my main : www.geocities.com/zliangas -tty-px.html : test of various TTY programs -ethics.htm : greek ethics , days and institutions -frape.htm: the greek way of cofee !!!
