ETSI TS 103 177 specifies the Filecasting user application which permits the non-linear delivery of multimediacontent using DAB. Whilst the main focus of the present document is the delivery of audio files over a broadcastnetwork, it is also applicable to other media formats too, such as video files and documents which may contain amixture of formatted text and graphics, for example in pdf format.
Filecasting can be used by broadcasters with existing DAB linear audio services to deliver additional content associated(but not necessarily directly linked) with these audio services. Equally it can be used to create standalone Filecastservices. This content could be an entire programme (podcast), additional short-form content relating to a linear radioprogramme, or news, weather or traffic bulletins.
Whilst Filecasting is defined as a DAB user application, it can equally be carried over Digital Radio Mondiale (DRM),ES 201 980 [i.1].
