| DAB DAB (Digital
Audio Broadcasting), also known as Eureka 147, is a technology
for broadcasting of audio using digital radio transmission.
Traditionally radio programmes were broadcast
on different frequencies via FM and AM, and the radio had
to be tuned into each frequency. This used up a comparatively
large amount of spectrum for a relatively small number of
stations, limiting listening choice. DAB is a digital radio
broadcasting system that through the application of multiplexing
and compression combines multiple audio streams onto a single
broadcast frequency called a DAB ensemble.¡@(From Wikipedia)
DVB-T DVB (Digital Video Broadcasting)
is an internationally accepted open standard for digital television
made by ETSI (European Telecommunications Standard Institutes).
DVB systems distribute data through a number of
approaches, including by satellite (DVB-S, DVB-S2 and DVB-SH;
also DVB-SMATV for distribution via SMATV); cable (DVB-C);
terrestrial television (DVB-T) and terrestrial television
for handhelds (DVB-H); and via microwave using DTT (DVB-MT),
the MMDS (DVB-MC), and/or MVDS standards (DVB-MS).
These standards define the physical layer and
data link layer of the distribution system. Devices interact
with the physical layer via a synchronous parallel interface
(SPI), synchronous serial interface (SSI), or asynchronous
serial interface (ASI). All data is transmitted in MPEG-2
transport streams with some additional constraints (DVB-MPEG).
A standard for temporally compressed distribution to mobile
devices (DVB-H) was published in November 2004.¡@(From Wikipedia) |
