Digital Radio Mondiale is planning to have a strong presence at this
year’s Indian Broadcast Engineering Society’s 19th International
Conference and Exhibition on Terrestrial and Satellite Broadcasting.
India is one of the leading countries in introducing DRM through an
ambitious rollout plan spearheaded by the public broadcaster, All India
Radio (AIR). In December 2012, India’s public radio and television
broadcaster, Prasar Bharati issued orders for six 300 kW medium wave
transmitters configured for DRM30 transmission.
But to showcase why DRM is so much more than just superior audio
broadcasting, the DRM Consortium have decided to use its own booth to
give participants and visitors a first-hand, live experience of the DRM
benefits.
Consortium Chair, Ruxandra Obreja, says: “The technical
implementation of DRM has been shown and demonstrated over the years
very successfully. We now need to take the project to the next level and
demonstrate the benefits to the listeners and why digital is
demonstrably superior to analogue. By participating and listening to the
presentations made by some of the Consortium members during the BES
conference and then testing, programming and experiencing the DRM
benefits directly, we are offering a unique and new experience to the
broadcasting industry in India.”
BES Expo 2013 is taking place in, New Delhi, from 29 – 31 January.
