Low Power, Low Cost HD Radio Chips Shipping
Tuesday, May 27th, 2008 at 4:00 PM - by .(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address)
The developer of HD Radio, iBiquity Digital, announced on Tuesday that next generation HD radio chips from Samsung and others are now shipping to receiver makers. The new HD radio chips are smaller, require less power and will enable new product form factors, such as iPod docks, and new features.
The new chips will be used in both automotive applications and CE devices, including possible docks for Apple iPods, mini-shelf systems and Audio/Video receivers, according to Radio Online Wednesday.
The manufacturers of the new chips are Samsung, Sanyo and SiPort.
High Definition (HD) Radio is a terrestrial, digital radio system. One feature that iBiquity has worked out with Apple and iTunes is music "tagging". Listeners who hear a song they like can press a button on the radio and earmark or "tag" a song. Later, it will appear in iTunes for sampling and possible purchase.
Some first generation HD radio units are already in stores in regions where HD radio is broadcast, such as Detroit, Denver, Los Angeles, Miami, San Francisco and Seattle to name a few.
