RadioScape RS220 Media Pack, Covers All Bases with Low Cost Ipod, MP3 and WMA Integration for Digital Radio Products
|
  RadioScape has launched "RS220 Media Pack," a software upgrade to its range of low cost DAB modules.
RadioScape's highly successful RS220 series of modules combine a single proprietary RF tuner with an off-the-peg DSP, which runs the digital radio stack. This approach delivers a platform that can easily be reconfigured to run other applications, and as many of these do not require the digital radio stack to be loaded, the full capability of the DSP is accessible.
The Media Pack, making use of this DSP, adds an MP3 decoder with ID3 tag support, a WMA decoder and the drivers to interface the module directly to an SD/MMC card.
"Increasingly, consumers are expecting digital radios to be capable of playing back their MP3 and WMA files. With our new Media Pack, it is possible to connect an SD card directly to the module. By sharing the digital radio resources the decoding and playback can be done entirely in software, with no additional hardware," said Phil Smith, Senior VP Sales at RadioScape.
Additionally the Media Pack includes an optional iPod control interface, making use of the serial interface of Apple's iPod family. Together with infra red remote control this product directly targets the booming iPod docking market.
"Existing products can easily be upgraded to include these new features, without modification to the motherboard, minimising time to market and cost,' added Smith.
