MUMBAI: The Digital Radio Mondiale Consortium will be fully involved in the upcoming Asia-Pacific Broadcasting Union Digital Broadcasting Symposium to be held from 6-9 March at the Royale Chulan in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.
DRM chairman Ruxandra Obreja will give an update on advanced DRM solutions on the first day of the conference, while on the second day DRM vice-chairman, Alexander Zink, Fraunhofer IIS, will expand on the possibilities of bringing free-to-air Journaline advanced text services to DRM receivers, helping to strengthen the broadcasters’ connection to their audiences while opening new revenue opportunities.
Together with specialists from the BBC, GatesAir and the Indonesian public broadcaster, the DRM team will run the workshop ‘Digital Radio Mondiale – Practical Implementation for Success’ on 7 March 4:15 pm to 5:30 pm in the conference room Taming Sari 3. The workshop, to be accompanied by a live DRM transmission by Babcock International on 7410kHz (5 pm to 6 pm local time), is designed to give delegates an update on the best steps to take towards a successful DRM introduction. This follows the launch of the next phase of the DRM roll-out by the Indian public broadcaster, All India Radio, and other project initiatives in Indonesia, Pakistan and other Asian countries. The aim of the DRM workshop is to offer a concise and practical way of understanding what DRM digital radio is and how to roll it out successfully, on budget, with significant energy savings and on time as part of a well-coordinated national effort.
