Parametric Stereo from Coding Technologies and Philips againsignificantly increases the efficiency of audio codecs for stereo signals atlow bit rates. Products from Coding Technologies are fundamental enablers ofopen standards such as 3GPP, 3GPP2, MPEG, DVB, Digital Radio Mondiale, HDRadio, and the DVD Forum.About DRMDRM (TM) is the only universal, openly standardised, digital radio system forshort-wave, medium-wave and long-wave - digital radio for frequencies below30MHz. It has been endorsed by the ITU, and is standardised as ETSI ES 201980. While DRM currently covers the broadcasting bands below 30 MHz, the DRMconsortium is extending the system to the broadcasting bands up to 120 MHz.DRM has near-FM sound quality plus the ease-of-use that comes from digitaltransmissions, combined with long range and low power consumption.
