Editions

The Fraunhofer DRM ContentServer

TM

 R4 

is available in three Editions (option 
packages). All Editions share all the ba-
sic DRM functionality, but each Edition 
provides a different level of system 
functionality by default. 
All Editions can easily be extended by 
additional features at all times. 
–  Basic Edition

The perfect starter kit for smaller 
broadcasters or for use at the trans-
mitter site (accompanying a DRM 
Modulator) with the option of fu-
ture extension to the customer´s 
growing requirements

–  Standard Edition
  Combines the most important DRM 

features (like AFS) and functionality 
(like Broadcast Scheduling) for easy 
integration into a studio or playout 
center environment

–  Professional Edition
  Extends the Standard Edition by pro-

fessional automation features and 
provides the full range of individual 
data transmissions as well as stan-
dardized multimedia applications 
like DRM-EPG

The Developer Edition is designed to 
support the efficient development and 
testing of DRM receivers. It provides the 
full functionality of the DRM system with 
regard to signalling and transmittable 
content (incl. dynamic reconfigurations).  
 
In combination with the Fraunhofer 
DRM Test Equipment DT 230 and its 
modulator option a full broadcast chain 
with RF output can easily be set up. The 
chain may well include features of the 
channel simulation option.  
This edition is restricted to laboratory 
use by license. It cannot be used for 
public or commercial broadcast.
