[HCDX] DRM in Asia-Pacific: new RNZI documentary

[info@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

DRM in Asia-Pacific
___________________

Digital Radio Mondiale [DRM] broadcasting in the Asia-Pacific region
is taking off down a different track than in Europe. One of the
reasons is the use of point-to-point transmission for rebroadcast
rather than direct to consumers.

In the latest radio heritage documentary now on-line [www.rnzi.com],
David Ricquish follows up on the recent DRM Symposium held in New
Zealand with an overview of where and how digital radio is expected
to develop around the Pacific in the near future.

Simulcasting, new services from Australia and New Zealand,
point-to-point, replacement for MW, potential power savings,
emergence of longwave as a possible home for DRM in the region, and
the critical importance of China are amongst the issues covered.

The documentary includes live recordings made during the recent DRM
test transmissions in New Zealand and technical comments from Andy
Giefer of Germany's Deutsche Welle. 

Produced by the Radio Heritage Foundation [www.radioheritage.net] in
association with Radio New Zealand International, the doco is
available on-line until Monday June 20. 

The script and a separate article on the April 2005 DRM Symposium
will appear at www.radioheritage.net shortly.

Warm regards
