KIRKLAND, Wash., Nov. 20 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- KVOD-FM,
Colorado's leading source for classical music on HD Radio(TM), has
begun broadcasting a second news channel (HD-2) using Neural
Audio's NeuStar(TM) Codec Preconditioning technology. KVOD's
original HD-1 channel offers 24-hour classical music. The HD-2
channel features in-depth, local and national news and information
simulcast from sister station, KCFR-AM. KVOD, Colorado's only
statewide, full-time classical music station, can be heard across
the state on 90.1 FM in Denver, 91.9 FM in Pueblo, 89.9 FM in Vail,
90.5 FM in Glenwood Springs, 103.3 FM along the Western Slope, and
online at http://www.kvod.org/. KCFR, Colorado Public Radio's
24-hour in-depth news service, is also heard across the state: 1340
AM in Denver, 1490 AM in Boulder, 1230 AM in Pueblo, 89.5 FM in
Grand Junction, 88.3 FM in Montrose and Craig, and online at
http://www.cpr.org/. "We are committed to bringing the
multi-channel advantages of digital radio to our listeners," said
Jim Paluzzi, Colorado Public Radio's vice president for new media
& technology. "We're very pleased to team up with Neural again
to bring a second digital radio channel to the Denver area." "KVOD
and Colorado Public Radio are leading the charge in Colorado to
bring a wider choice of services to their listeners," said Mark
Seigle, Neural Audio president. "We have worked with CPR on a
number of projects, most recently a 5.1 live broadcast of the
Colorado Symphony, and we will continue to support their efforts in
providing Colorado listeners the best that HD Radio can offer."
Distributed exclusively by Harris Corporation, Broadcast
Communications Division, NeuStar Codec Pre-Conditioner for HD Radio
was recently upgraded and optimized for low bit-rate applications
such as multi-cast HD Radio channels. The 1RU NeuStar(R) 4.0
features more DSP power, a user-friendly front panel, TCP/IP web
control, and is fully field upgradeable for future expansion.
NeuStar 4.0 is the first product to feature Neural's NCLAS(TM)
coding load analysis system which allows broadcasters to visually
monitor the impact of content and processing on the performance of
their audio stream. The software version, NeuStar SW 4.0, offers
broadcasters the choice to process HD-2, HD-3 and HD-4 HD Radio
channels at a much lower cost than a stand-alone hardware unit.
