…and enter the
world of DAB
by Factum.
Designed for flexibility
The DBS100 Broadcast Server is a key component
in the Factum range of products, also
including encoders and decoders, dynamic
range controller, data transport adapter, DAB
broadcast multiplexers. Based on functional
modules the complete service provider concept
is extremely flexible and easy to integrate.
The DBS100 Broadcast server handles both PAD and
Packet Mode data services conforming to the Eureka
147 DAB standard.The unit can be installed with up to
16 PAD ports and a DTA10B board for packet mode
data, thus serving a complete DAB ensemble with
necessary data services.
The DBS100 uses a Client/Server architecture and is
based on Windows NT industrial PC.This makes
installation and maintenance in LAN networks flexible
and easy. All control and monitoring can be achieved
from a remote location in a LAN network.

The server supports configuration scheduling and
dynamic reconfiguration.The DBS100 can be integrated
with management systems for a service- or
ensemble multiplex via an open DCOM API.
Included with the system is also a configuration client
- the Configuration Planner, for manual building and
scheduling of configurations.
The DBS100 also provides flexible logging possibilities
via DCOM API or SNMP which can be supervised
from a remote monitoring system.
The configuration planner,
allows an intuitive building of
data service configurations.

Production system integration – the easy way
There are several ways of integration with third parties
applications via a Studio API.This is an open DCOM
or XML API that provides high performance and easy
integration with radio broadcast scheduler systems.
The DBS100 will theoretically perform a time accuracy
greater than 0.5 second using MOT - Slideshow
principles.
The DBS100 has a built in scheduler
that effectively utilises available
capacity in the DAB multiplex.The
scheduler can be automatically synchronised
with the configuration
handling in the DAB multiplex for
optimal performance thereby increasing
security and accessibility for
the data services.
The scheduler can be used in cooperation
with existing multimedia
editors. One excellent example is
the Factum´s SMIL publisher system
that provides a XML-SMIL
interface for the DBS100.The
SMIL publisher system makes it

The DBS100 also complies with MOT
Broadcast Web Site making DAB a powerful
mobile medium for user accessed information
using HTML content format.
The DBS100 integrates PAD and Packet Mode
data services transparently via the Studio API.
This allows any MOT data service to be re-directed
between the two transport methods without affecting
the production systems.This principle increases flexibility
and future consistency since all data service production
systems are integrated in a single, well defined,API.
