RadioScape leads the adoption of DMB and DAB in China

RadioScape, one of the leaders in digital audio and multimedia broadcast technology, is leading the adoption of Digital Multimedia Broadcasting (DMB) and Digital Audio Broadcasting (DAB) in China through the supply of the very latest Professional DMB/DAB Broadcast Systems to a number of major broadcasters.
Systems have already been installed at Beijing Jolon Digital Media Broadcasting, Shanghai Oriental Pearl (Group), and Guangdong Yue Guang Digital Multimedia Broadcasting. Further contracts are expected soon from other leading broadcasters. DMB services for both audio and mobile TV will be on air by the second quarter of this year.
John Hall, RadioScape's CEO, said: "We have worked closely with the major Chinese broadcasters over the past two years in the development of their plans for Digital Multimedia Broadcasting. Our unique expertise in both broadcast and receiver technology for DAB and DMB has been critical. It is very rewarding now to see these efforts come to fruition as China finally switches on live services across several major cities."
RadioScape has been involved in numerous trials of T-DMB and sending multimedia over Enhanced Packet Mode in both Asia and Europe. Its Professional Broadcast Systems and Research and Test Systems were used in the development of the DMB standard and compatible receiver handsets. T-DMB can provide H.264 QCIF (355 x 288 pixels) at a frame rate of 25 to 30 fps using 384 to 768 Kbps. The DMB broadcasts are anticipated to cover news, music videos, sports, education, movies and simultaneous transmission of terrestrial TV programmes. DAB radio will also be broadcast bringing the benefits of digital clarity and a wide range of content.
