Applications
The Journaline data service is based on a standard that was internationally accepted by the WorldDMB forum in September 2007 and is available from ETSI as a free download. The data service is currently broadcast as part of DAB/DMB and DRM digital radio transmissions. It is suitable for virtually any broadcast platform due to its low data capacity consumption – a key objective for the system’s development. With Journaline’s hierarchical topic structure, users can browse all received information – both program-related and program-independent textual information – and select their favourite news items.
Availability
Decoder implementation available for licensing on Windows PC platforms, Linux PC platforms and Microcontroller platforms.
The Fraunhofer DRM ContentServer and the Fraunhofer DAB ContentServer represent ideal encoder solutions for Journaline enriched DAB and DRM broadcasts
