GEX-P900DAB
- Broadcasting Content
DAB can be considered as a system that can transmit the conventional seven broadcasting stations using a single
broadcasting wave. New styles of broadcasting can be offered by replacing the content of broadcasting in audio sig-
nals with data.
1) Currently, audio quality equivalent to CD for a maximum of seven channels and RDS data of upward compatibility
are transmitted. The capacity of every channel can be quickly changed by technology called "Dynamic
Reconfiguration," thus can increase the number of channels.
2) DAB has transmission capacity of a maximum of 1.7 Mbps (larger than Video CD), thus various types of data can be
transmitted.
3) We are planning to transmit navigation-related data, such as DGPS and TMC, in the future. The DAB signal itself has
a simple system to detect its own position (TII: Transmitter Identification Information), implying a possibility of sim-
plified navigation.
Actual selection of service using a DAB receiver will be as the illustration shown below
(a large display is required).

Currently, use of the DAB standard in future is examined in public organizations in Europe and other areas, including
EUREKA 147, WorldDAB, EACEM, CENELEC, ETSI, and CEPT.
The latest information on DAB can be obtained from home page (http://www.kp.dlr.de/DAB/) via the Internet. The con-
tent is shown as a menu that links to detailed information.
