DTS Connected Radio is the next big thing in car audo and Radio is determined to hold centre stage.

All in Media (AIM), a global leader in broadcast systems and smartphone apps and part of Xperi’s family of companies, has a long history of working with the Australian radio industry.

AIM has recently supported the development of the RadioApp and Alexa skill. RadioApp, the industry’s streaming radio platform, will now be used to provide Australian commercial and public radio content into the DTS^® Connected Radio^™platform.  
 
This integration will allow the refining of system operations, support on-going global automotive field testing and product development of hybrid radio, and validate the implementation and listener experience in connected radios.
 
“Commercial Radio Australia has a long history of innovation and embracing new technology to serve the needs of their members and the Australian radio audience,” said Jeff Jury, general manager, Automotive at Xperi. “This is evidenced by their coordinated launch of DAB+, the leadership in creating RadioApp and their recent development of the industry wide Alexa skill. We are extremely pleased that CRA, with the support of our All in Media team, have joined Xperi in our efforts to ensure broadcast radio has a vibrant future in connected cars.”
 
“This work will allow us to test ways to combine both broadcasting and internet technologies to deliver richer content and a better in-car radio experience for listeners,” said Joan Warner, CEO of Commercial Radio Australia. “In our role as the national industry body representing Australia’s commercial radio industry, we look forward to working with Xperi on their development of the DTS Connected Radio system.”
 
Utilising an IP connection installed in a vehicle, DTS Connected Radio delivers an innovative digital (DAB and HD Radio^®) experience by pairing broadcast programming with IP-delivered content. DTS Connected Radio aggregates metadata, such as on-air radio program and talent information, artist and song information, station contact information and more, from broadcasters around the world to deliver an enhanced in-vehicle radio experience.
