Hallo Liste,

hier habe ich zwei Links gefunden die direkt das Produkt bei TI vorstellen.

>Spurring the worldwide growth of digital radio, Texas Instruments Incorporated and RadioScape have announced, at The Digital Radio Show in London, the world's first chips and modules for the Digital Radio Mondiale (DRM) standard. TI is the first company to release an integrated digital baseband that supports both DRM and Digital Audio Broadcast (DAB) standards, and RadioScape, using its innovative Software Defined Digital Radio approach, is the first company to announce a module supporting not only DRM, but also DAB, FM-RDS and Analogue AM standards. This module approach will speed the development and deployment of multi-standard receivers. Both TI and RadioScape are exhibiting and speaking at The Digital Radio Show on June 1-2, 2005.

The DRM300 baseband supports DRM, while the single-chip DRM350 baseband supports DRM as well as DAB. With the DRM350 baseband, developers can create cost-effective DRM/DAB-based devices wi

New features, customized variants and modifications can be easily implemented on the programmable DSP architecture of the DRM300 and DRM350 chips, avoiding time-consuming and expensive hard-wired re-spins. This flexibility also allows for future support of digital content playback, including MP3 and Windows Media Audio (WMA).

>RadioScape's modules based on TI's DRM300 and DRM350 chips will be available from RadioScape and will support FM-RDS and AM in software. The first of which, the RS500, is announced today. The RS500 module from RadioScape supplies all the necessary hardware and software to design and build receivers able to support any combination of DRM, DAB, FM-RDS and AM, cutting down significantly on the development time and resources needed from the manufacturer. The modules enable manufacturers to begin immediate development of multi-standard receivers, including table-top radios, CD boom boxes, micro hi-fis and tuners.

>"It is impressive how quickly support for DRM has come from the technical community, including more than 75 broadcasters who have followed through on their promises to begin airing its content," said Peter Senger, director of distribution at Deutsche Welle and chairman of the DRM Consortium. "Although TI only joined the DRM Consortium last year, it already is the first company to provide silicon for this standard. Backed by a complete module developed by RadioScape, we expect OEMs will be able to provide DRM-capable receivers by the end of the year."
>
>Modules will be sampling in August 2005, with volume production following shortly thereafter. RadioScape forecasts that multi-standard, multi-band receivers based on the RS500 could have end user prices below $250 - almost a quarter the price of existing DRM receivers in the market. 
>
>"This is the breakthrough that DRM has been waiting for," said Peter Senger. "Until now there have only been a limited number of DRM receivers available. This new module from RadioScape will open up the market with easy to use, consumer priced, multi-standard receivers in the same way that the company helped open up the DAB market." 
>
>"WorldDAB and DRM have been co-operating for sometime," added Annika Nyberg, President of WorldDAB. "There are synergies between DAB and DRM business models. These synergies will provide an added boost in many countries as multi-standard digital radios bought for DRM will also receive DAB providing broadcasters with large potential audiences." 
>
>"We have been broadcasting for several months in DRM to both Germany and France and remain firmly committed to the development of the DRM technology," said Thomas Rabe, chief financial officer at RTL Group. "We continue to work closely with both TI and RadioScape to ensure a successful launch of a cost-effective DRM/DAB-capable radio receiver for the mass market later this year."

>At The Digital Radio Show in London, both Texas Instruments and RadioScape will speak about the accelerated deployment of DRM during their presentations.
