AUTOMOTIVE AND BROADCAST
HD Radio® technology delivers the high quality digital broadcast of local AM/FM stations. Forty automotive brands are currently shipping vehicles in North America equipped with HD Radio technology, and more than 45 million HD Radio receivers are on the road. More than 4,200 stations are broadcasting digital channels in North America and include additional features that do not exist through traditional analog broadcast, such as traffic and emergency alerts, program info and Artist Experience®.
The DTS Connected Radio™ platform combines both over-the-air analog/digital AM/FM radio content with IP-delivered content, creating an innovative AM/FM experience in vehicles. DTS Connected Radio receives metadata, such as artist and song title, directly from local radio broadcasters, which is then paired with IP-delivered content, creating an engaging in-vehicle hybrid radio experience. DTS Connected Radio is planned to be commercially available in the second half of 2018.
HD Radio and DTS Connected Radio broadcast technologies will be showcased at CES at Xperi’s booth in the LVCC North Hall, #5624, including:
