The MAGIC ETI Audio Decoder allows the monitoring of DAB signals with ETI
(NA,G.704) and ETI (NI,G.703) format. The system monitors all audio and data
channels in the ETI data stream and can decode one audio channel. 

The system can be configured using a simple Windows application software
which also allows detailed evaluation of the ETI data stream and a detailed
fault analysis.
