As the perfect link between hardware and user, the Universal Tuner Platform takes care of an extensive amount of tasks: It receives and translates user requests to the hardware, constantly evaluates the spectrum for all receivable channels in the background and decodes digital data services (for example, displaying CD covers or information about the music tracks currently playing).
This tuner middleware supports AM, FM, DAB/DAB+, HD radio and hybrid radio (uninterrupted switching between conventional and internet radio). The U.S. satellite radio SiriusXM can also be added. It can be adapted easily to different tuner hardware. Further integration into different operating systems is possible without any problems. Dedicated adaption layers ensure this. It was developed in accordance with the ASPICE Level 2 quality standard, which not only ensures complete traceability in the event of a fault, but also guarantees a product of outstanding quality - from the requirements, software design and code through to testing.
