Frontier Silicon unveiled Venice 5 a DAB module—which offers one week's worth of battery life, when typically DAB modules have lasted only one day. Measuring 52mm x 40mm and based on its recently launched Kino 2 baseband processor, Venice 5 is designed for next generation DAB home audio products such as kitchen and clock radios, CD audio systems and hi-fi tuner systems.
Venice 5 will be supported by three different ready-to-manufacture reference
platforms—Jupiter, Quantum, and Mercury—that have been developed by local design partners in China to help meet the needs of an emerging Chinese DAB market as well as local manufacturers designing for global markets. The platforms are configurable and customisable to support a wide range of product segments from basic kitchen and portable radios through to CD-based systems and advanced music server type applications.
