DAB-IP

DAB-IP is an alternative possibility for digital multimedia and video broadcasting. It was used in the UK on a trial basis over a period of about 18 months which finished end of 2007. Unlike DMB, this variant is not fully standardised by WorldDMB/ETSI, but makes use of a hook that was designed exactly for that purpose - DAB IP Tunnelling. Based on this transport system for IP datagrams via DAB, the provider BT Movio applied protocols and source coding algorithms designed by Microsoft. It should be noted that in the meantime all of these specifications (ASF and VC-1) are in public domain apart from one - WMA.
