Under the overarching theme “DRM – Smart Radio For All” the DRM Consortium has planned for two interactive sessions at this year’s IBC at Amsterdam to look at the practical implementation of DRM in various parts of the world. The focus of the sessions will be also on receivers and exciting receiver solutions.

The first event convened by the DRM Consortium is to be held on September 13 and will be hosted by Gospell under the title “The Gospell receiver – end to end solution for your needs”.

The next day, the Consortium invites those interested to an interactive session, to be held at the Nautel booth, on the latest implementation of DRM across the world, its benefits and the questions that the standard can answer in 2019.

Ruxandra Obreja, the Consortium Chairman, says that: “The Consortium members want to update all those interested with the many developments of DRM across the globe. The progress made in Asia, the current demo In Russia, the possibilities in South Africa and Brazil are all worth highlighting and discussing. The interest and practical roll out of DRM demonstrates that DRM makes possible an immediate digital future for all broadcasters large or small, offering more programme choice to listeners, extra multimedia services, emergency warning functionality with increased energy savings, spectrum efficiency and full country coverage.”

Other Consortium members attending the IBC exhibition are: BBC, Encompass Digital, Fraunhofer IIS, JVCKenwood, NXP, RFmondial, Sony.
