Introduction; Abbreviations - Blaupunkt Woodstock DAB54 Operating Instructions Manual

INTRODUCTION

1. Introduction
Digital Audio Broadcasting (DAB) is
gaining popularity among listeners due
to the superior audio quality. However,
DAB is also multimedia enabled with a
variety of data being transmitted by the
service provider to the receiver. The
PocketDAB 2004 software combined
with the Woodstock DAB54 allows the
user to access these data services. This
software was developed in the Re-
search and Development department of
Bosch in Hildesheim.
As of today, four data services have
been specified and standardised for
DAB - the Dynamic Label Service
(DLS), the Slideshow Service (SLS), the
Broadcast Website (BWS) application
and the Traffic Message Service (TMC).
More data services are under develop-
ment and they promise to further en-
rich DAB in the future. The PocketDAB
software currently supports the DLS,
SLS and BWS services. Additional the
still experimental TopNews service is
supported.
This manual gives an overview of the
PocketDAB software from installation to
usage. The installation is covered in sec-
tion 4. This section covers the instruc-
tions for the Bluetooth setup of the PDA
as well. The installation of the Wood-
stock, PDA and Bluetooth hardware is
not part of this manual. The usage of the
PocketDAB software is explained in sec-
tion 5 and section 6. Finally all known
issues are summarised in section 7.
It is highly recommended that before
installation and usage of the software,
the user read section 3 carefully.
