About DAB (Digital Audio Broadcasting) DAB Service Diagram
Dear DAB users,
Since the DAB system is broadcasted in digital format, DAB system can supply crystal-clear audio
and stable reception even in mobile objects. DAB is a new generation radio which
can provide data service and supplementary multi-media services.
DAB broadcasts multiple services under one Ensemble that are called service components.
Each component contains inherent programs; news, music, sports, and many more.
Each Ensemble and service
component has its label, and users can recognize a current broadcasting station and service
contents by using the label.
The main service component is broadcast as Primary while the others are broadcast as Secondary.
Also rich character information is serviced through Dynamic Labels; song title, artist composer etc.
