Venice 8.1 is a DAB radio module from Frontier Silicon that can drive a colour LCD or a receiver or dock.
"Slideshow is rapidly becoming a feature of DAB/DAB+ broadcasts across Europe as well as in Australia and Hong Kong," claimed Frontier. "This module gives OEMs and ODMs the opportunity to bring digital radios and dockers to the market which are able to display slideshow images broadcast over DAB or DAB+."
According to the firm, slideshow transmissions include news, sports reports, weather, traffic camera pictures, now-playing screens and station logos.
Commercial stations may use the facility for adverts, it added.
In addition to radio and iPhone dock features, Venice 8.1 plays from an external USB mass storage device and supports codecs including MP3, WMA, AAC, HE-AAC, FLAC and WAV.
The Jupiter 8.1 reference platform uses the module in colour touch screen digital radio.
