Germany goes on-air with national DAB+ services using the latest technology from Factum
Factum Electronics, world-leading supplier of equipment for DAB and DAB+ digital radio and DMB digital multimedia broadcasting, today announced it has provided its latest DAB+ family of products to the new national DAB+ ensemble in Germany.
The contract with the German industry includes the latest DAB headend technology fine-tuned to meet the increasingly complex market requirements, the world’s most deployed DAB data broadcasting server, which has been completely re-engineered.
Other features newly introduced to the market are:
NTP time synchronization, which provides an accurate and cost effective alternative to using GPS.
DAB Surround, which is stereo receiver compatible 5.1 Surround Sound for DAB Classic, DAB+, and DMB, based on the ISO MPEG Surround standard.
Also, as an add-on option to the existing Factum Audio Encoders, Factum and Orban now also offer built-in audio processing using the well-reputed Factum MAP250E and Orban 1101 PCI card.
As communicated earlier Factum’s new generation of products and features will also be on display during the IBC show in Amsterdam.
The IBC 2010 exhibition takes place in Amsterdam between the 10th and 14th of September 2010. To come and see the latest news, please visit Hall 8 booth No C92.
