7 About DAB (Digital Audio Broadcasting)

• Since the DAB system is broadcasted in digital format, DAB system can supply crystal-clear audio and

stable reception even in mobile objects. DAB is a new generation radio which can provide data service
and supplementary multi-media services.

• DAB broadcasts multiple services under one Ensemble that are called service components.

• Each component contains inherent programs; news, music, sports, and many more.

• Each Ensemble and service component has its label, and users can recognize a current broadcasting

station and service contents by using the label.

• The main service component is broadcast as Primary while the others are broadcast as Secondary.

• Also rich character information is serviced through Dynamic Labels; song title, artist composer etc.
