all. As with the

RDS Stations:

listing, clicking on any entry will

immediately tune to that station.

THE LISTENER EXPERIENCE

Definition

The term ‘Listener Experience’ encompasses both the metadata

text (artist/title, etc.) for both the FM and HD Radio programs,

plus the graphic imaging that can optionally accompany each

HD Radio channel. Images can include primary station-identi-

fication ‘Logos,’ and music album artwork or program-

promotion messages called Artist Experience.

Display Options

You’ll find analog-

and all eight

Radio program buttons

at the top of the page. Any of these buttons may be selected,

whether the tuned station has those HD programs or not. Se-

lecting them merely creates a display area farther-down on the

page for the associated data and images. To save space, select

only those buttons that are pertinent to the station and pro-

grams you are monitoring.

The topmost display area is labeled

. The more important

RDS fields that accompany the analog-FM program are present-

ed here.
HD Radio PAD info and graphics are stacked below the FM RDS

data. Once a station is tuned, the Listener Experience material

will take a short while to load.
The remaining selectable display option at the top of the screen

is for just the HD Radio program channels.

Simple | Listener

is what the listener sees on his consumer radio. An

Advanced |

Broadcaster

selection will additionally show an archive of previ-

ous graphic images. This is illustrated in the left-hand screen-

shot below. The boxed image is album art for the song current-

ly playing. The two to the right are album art for the previous

two songs.

Click the little dots below the

Artist Experience

images to scroll

through previous Artist Experience graphics. Then hover over

any image to bring up image specifications as shown in the

right-hand screenshot above. These specs define the received

image file.
