Germany goes on-air with national DAB+ services using latest technology from Factum

Factum Electronics, world-leading supplier of equipment for DAB and DAB+ digital radio and DMB digital multimedia broadcasting, today announced it has supplied its latest DAB+ family of products to the new national DAB+ ensemble in Germany.

The contract with the German broadcasting industry includes the latest DAB headend technology fine-tuned to meet the increasingly complex market requirements, including the world’s most deployed DAB data broadcasting server, which has been completely re-engineered.

Other features recently introduced to the market are:

NTP time synchronization, which provides an accurate and cost effective alternative to using GPS.

DAB Surround, which is stereo receiver compatible 5.1 Surround Sound for DAB Classic, DAB+, and DMB, based on the ISO MPEG Surround standard.

As an add-on option to existing Factum Audio Encoders, Factum and Orban now also offer built-in audio processing using the well-reputed Factum MAP250E and Orban 1101 PCI card.

Factum’s new generation of products and features are on display at the IBC 2010 show in Amsterdam, which takes place between the 10th and 14th of September 2010. To view the latest news, please visit Hall 8 booth No C92.
