Broadcast- Mass-market- Economic coverage- Free-to-air

- Not interactive- Personalisation is unrealistic

InternetStreaming doesn’t scale well (tech/cost)

Perfect for one-to-one communication- personalisation- transactions- enhancements

“Hybrid” Radio

The Internet adds “The Back Channel”Enhanced content, Personalisation and Transactions

Broadcast works for the mass marketLow Cost, Ubiquitous, Free


Connecting Broadcast & IP! Converged, connected devices

! FM / DAB / DAB+ / HD Radio! LTE / 4G / 3G / WiFi / Wired

! Re-package Broadcast Radio - make it look like “like an app”! Audio over reliable broadcast! Meta-data and enhancement data over IP

The Technology of RadioDNS• No new technology

• A new application for DNS (Domain Name Service)

• Uses existing identifiers to make an Internet connection to the radio station

• No Patents, Licences - it’s Open Source

radiodns.org

• Simple “web-friendly” way of delivering visuals alongside radio.

• Click-throughs possible, to enable e-commerce and direct response

• Easy to do, looks modern

• Navigation by Station Logos and Descriptions, not just frequencies

• Allows “service following” Automatic switch between stream & broadcast

• The Single Station Preset

RadioDNS Closes Gap & Enhances Radio 1/2

!Some DAB stations already transmit cover art and broadcast meta data which can be displayed on radio – some do not

!FM not able to deliver cover art or graphic information

–HMI experience between DAB and FM is inconsistent

–Gets worse if reception of DAB is lost and radio links to FM " consumer does lose picture display

!Solution is RadioDNS, makes user experience more consistent

!RadioDNS also can enhance DAB broadcasts of stations who do not want to invest in additional data bandwidth (EPG and slides)

!With RadioTAG, a new unique feature is added to DAB and FM

41

RadioDNS Closes Gap & Enhances Radio 2/2

Seamless radio experience

FM Fallback

Gap closed by RadioDNS

RadioDNS Technology Integration

!Visteon did integrate RadioDNS into two demonstrators

!Project outcome

–Even low end radios (limited processing capacity) can be enabled with RadioDNS (through the help of a smart phone)

–Can be fully integrated into higher end radios

43

RadioDNS Demonstrator 1

!Based on a current production radio

!Implements RadioDNS functionality with the help of a smart phone

!Broadcast data is transmitted viaBluetooth to the phone

!Possible solution for a widerange of receivers

44

RadioDNS Demonstrator 2

!Based on a development radio platform

!RadioDNS full integrated

45

Radio in FM mode

46

Radio with RadioDNS

47

Outlook

!RadioDNS closes a technology gap between traditional broadcasting systems and Internet Radio, which is not ready for in car use yet

!With the help of RadioDNS, the corporate identity of a station can be brought to in car displays

!Broadcasters can benefit from the trend that bigger color displays are available in low segment cars

!Same content can be used for FM and DAB
