Groundbreaking demo conducted live at 2018 NAB Show showed ability to carry up to 12 HD Radio services in addition to the FM carrier.
A live demonstration showing the ability to transmit multiple IBOC sidebands within a station’s signal, using Nautel HD Multiplex, earned a New Bay Best of Show award at NAB 2018. The experimental demonstration, placed on the air on Beasley Media Group’s KKLZ during show hours, was conducted in partnership with PILOT (NAB’s coalition of innovators, educators and advocates dedicated to advancing broadcast technology and cultivating new media opportunities) and Xperi. The demonstration provided two independent IBOC sidebands on each side of KKLZ’s regularly programmed analog FM carrier.
