digital audio broadcast Internet protocol (DAB-IP)

IP-basedDAB ( DAB-IP) is a DAB variant with which television is transmitted using the IP protocol.

The actual standard is called DAB Enhanced Packet Mode( EPM) and transmits the data as IP data packets encapsulated in the DAB data frame. This allows DigitalAudio Broadcast (DAB) to be used for multimedia services such as mobile TV. DAB EPM has error correction using the Reed-Solomon code, which increases reception quality.

DAB-IP has a higher overhead compared to Digital Multimedia Broadcast( DMB), but is characterized by greater flexibility. It is used in England and works with the video codecsWindowsMedia Audio (WMA9) and Windows Media Video(WMV9).
