<H1 class=entry-title>DRM minimum receiver requirements published</H1>
<P><FONT face=Tahoma>The DRM Consortium’s Technical Committee has completed the
technical requirements for receivers designed for the DRM system below 30 MHz.
</FONT></P>
<P><FONT face=Tahoma>This Minimum Receiver Requirement (MRR) document describes
the minimum performance required for the technical parameters that provide a
fully functioning DRM receiver. A second phase of work will extend the
document to detail the figures for DRM+ receivers too.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT face=Tahoma>“We have taken account of the real world environment in
which DRM receivers will operate” says Frank Hofmann of Robert Bosch, who led
the team writing the document. <BR>“That means ensuring that the receivers will
not only work well if they meet all the requirements, but will also be cost
effective to manufacture.” The MRR document is an important basis for receiver
manufacturers and will be available to everybody.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT face=Tahoma>The DRM Technical Committee has also completed work
revising the Multiplex Distribution Interface (MDI) and Receiver Status and
Control Interface (RSCI) standards to include DRM+. <BR><BR>“We wanted to
make sure we had captured everything in these revisions, so we waited a little
while after publication of the extension to the DRM System Specification last
summer” said Lindsay Cornell, Chairman of the Technical Committee. “We wanted to
get some experience of DRM+ transmissions.” The MDI and RSCI specifications have
been approved for release from DRM to ETSI for consideration and
publication.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT face=Tahoma>The finalised MRR document will be presented to the DRM
General Assembly this week and then published on the DRM website for easy
access. </FONT></P>
<P><FONT face=Tahoma>The Annual General Assembly of the DRM Consortium will be
held at the headquarters of RNW in Hilversum on 24 and 25 March. The DRM General
Assembly is attended by DRM full and associate members and it is the largest
decision making body of the Consortium</FONT></P>
