What is DAB
What is DAB
DAB is a new di ital format, throu h which you can hear crystal
clear sound in CD quality. Even in a car or train you so ood,
noise-free reception. DAB broadcast uses a hi h-speed data
stream in the radio channel.
Unlike traditional analo radio stations in several DAB
transmitters on the same frequency emitted. This is called
ensemble or multiplexes. An ensemble consists of the radio
station as well as several service components or data services,
which are sent ind
ividually by the radio stations. Learn e
under www.di italradio.de or www.di italradio.ch.
Data Compression
Di ital radio makes used the fact effects of human hearin . The
human ear perceives sounds that are below a certain minimum
volume is not true. Data that are located below the so-called
restin threshold can therefore be filtered out. This is made
possible because, in a di ital data stream for each information
unit, the associated relative volume is stored with other units. In
an audio si nal are also at a certain limit, the quieter portions
overlapped by the fair. All the sound information in a piece of
music, the so-called under the
Listenin threshold drop can be filtered out of the si nal to be
transmitted. This leads to the reduction of the transmitted
data stream, without a perceptible difference in sound for the
listener (MUSICAM) method.
Audio Stream
Audio streams are in Di ital Radio continuous data streams, the
MPEG 1 Audio Layer 2 frames, and thus represent contain
acoustic information. This allows familiar and listen to radio
pro rams transmitted to the receiver side. Di ital Radio in the
MUSICAM format is used, which provides two MPEG compliant
PADs for additional data. This is also known as PAD data
services. Di ital Radio brin s you not only radio in excellent
sound quality but additional information. This may relate to the
current pro ram (e title, artist) or re ardless of his (e news,
weather, traffic, tips).
