Premiere: NewsService Journaline® live “on air” with In-Car Presentation
Fraunhofer Institute for Integrated Circuits IIS and Audi
are presenting at CeBIT in hall 9, booth B36, the first
live in-car reception of NewsService Journaline®. This
demonstrates, for the first time, a complete real-time
transmission chain of the service over Digital Radio
DAB (Digital Audio Broadcasting).
The real-time transmission chain consists of the new “Fraunhofer Multimedia DataServer™ for DAB R4” by Fraunhofer IIS and DAB receiver technology by ATMEL. The Fraunhofer Multimedia DataServer automatically aggregates content for NewsService Journaline® and transmits it using DAB.
NewsService Journaline® is the basis of Audi news service. This “teletext for radio” provides continuously updated information for immediate access. The driver can simply choose text news sorted by topics from a hierarchically organized menu. A text-to-speech system installed in the car then presents the text messages previously transmitted over DAB. The service can be managed using the Audi MMI (multimedia interface). It is also easy to personalize the system: Based on individual preferences, the system chooses only the news that are of interest to the driver. Topics of specific interest can also be bookmarked for an easy and direct access in future.
The range of information can be manifold. It consists of e. g. latest news and news related to the radio program. The system is able to offer long news texts as well as automatically updated short news. For CeBIT demo, content is provided by ARD-Text, CIO Magazin, Deutsche Welle, NDR, Opta Sportsdata, Süddeutsche Zeitung and Audi. Transmission over Digital Radio DAB is carried out in collaboration with Digital Radio Nord.
After a test phase in Germany, Audi will decide about introducing the service based on customer reaction.

NewsService Journaline®:
The text based information service allows the user to easily navigate through text messages, which are hierarchically organized in menus. NewsService Journaline® is highly optimized for an efficient transmission in the digital radio systems DAB as well as Drm (Digital Radio Mondiale). International broadcast stations have been providing this service to their listeners for years. It can be accessed with almost any of today’s PC based Drm receivers.
Digital Radio DAB at Audi:
Already since 2005 Audi lives up to its image of technological leadership and offers the innovative digital radio technology DAB (Digital Audio Broadcasting) to its customers. Digital Radio allows the reception of a great range of programs in CD like quality. Currently DAB radio receivers can be ordered for the Audi models Audi A6/S6, A8/S8 and Audi Q7. Already today, every third A8 in Germany comes with DAB.
