Pressemelding: Radio City, first radio station in Norway to take advantage of revolutionary
technology MPEG-4 aacPlus from Coding Technologies
Askim, Norway, April 11th 2005- Radio City, located in Askim, Norway, today
announced that the radio station will be the first in Norway to offer its
programming for live Internet streaming using the Orban Opticodec 1010LE in
combination with Coding Technologies’ MPEG-4 aacPlus audio codec.
aacPlus is the common denominator format between Internet streaming,
digital broadcasting, and mobile, offering CD-quality stereo at 48 kbps, and
excellent quality stereo at 32 kbps, especially when combined with Orban’s
Opticodec products. Listeners can now tune in to Radio City using even a 56
Kbps dial-up modem.
aacPlus is already in widespread use for mobile music services and in digital
broadcasting. By using aacPlus for their streaming services, providers can
both reduce the bit rate required for their streams at highest audio quality, and
broaden their listeners base by offering high quality audio even to users with
slow connections. Its level of efficiency fundamentally reduces costs and
increases the stream of revenue.
Kristian Aartun Managing Director of Radio City Norway said: “We are very
delighted to start streaming on the Internet using the aacPlus technology. It is
of great importance to us that we always deliver the best sound quality
available through our distribution channels”.
Peter Lee , Vice President European Operations ORBAN said: Since we
introduced the OPTICODEC 1010 series many broadcasters around the world
have discovered the advantage of Coding Technologies aacPlus and the
ORBAN Opticodec 1010. We are honoured that RADIO CITY (as the first in
Norway) decided to use our codec to stream their programs on the Internet.
“Radio City is clearly taking the streaming lead in Norway,” says
Gerald Moser, Manager Communications and Public Relations at Coding
Technologies. “ By choosing aacPlus, their programming will be available to
more users, at higher audio quality, and lower costs.”
