DOING SO VOIDS THIS LICENSE! ----------- Description ----------- The ID LOGIC ® SW Simulator for Windows ("Software") simulates the shortwave receiver of the (near) future which will permit the automatic scanning for a station by name, language, schedule and other attributes. ID LOGIC SW receivers will contain an in-receiver database which will be updated by the broadcasters themselves via digital updates. This Simulator contains the schedules of: - the BBC World Service - the Voice of America - Radio France Internationale - Deutsche Welle - Radio Netherlands - Radio Canada International - Radio Austria International - Swiss Radio International ALL SCHEDULES WERE PROVIDED BY THE BROADCASTERS THEMSELVES. -------------------- Minimum Requirements -------------------- The ID LOGIC SW Simulator for MS Windows requires the following: - IBM PC compatible machine; - MS Windows Version 3.1 or later; - Microsoft (or compatible) mouse; - Display minimum: 540x480 x 256 colors (64k preferred); ------------------ Very Brief History ------------------ ID LOGIC is a scanning/tuning system which permits the user to 1) automatically identify any tuned-in station 2) scan for a station by station attribute such as format (e.i. type of music), callsign, language, etc. PRS started to develop ID LOGIC in 1986. The first product was the ID LOGIC Module for AM/FM radio receivers for use in North America (which is today on the N.Am market in several receivers). We have licensed SONY, MATSUSHITA (Panasonic/Technics), PIONEER, KENWOOD, ALPINE, SANYO, CLARION, JVC, and others. In 1993, ID LOGIC was integrated in the Radio Broadcast Data System (RBDS) standard issued by the National Radio Systems Committee (NRSC) on January 8, 1993. (This is the U.S. version of the European RDS standard.) Since 1992 we have been working with the BBC World Service and the Voice of America to develop an ID LOGIC version for shortwave receivers. This informal open consortium has since been joined by many international broadcasters and we expect it will continue to grow very rapidly. There, the idea is to permit SW listeners to tune to a station by pressing at most two buttons (one for the desired broadcaster, the other for the desired language) to access an in-receiver database of scheduling data which will be maintained and refreshed by digital transmissions from the broadcasters themselves. --------------- How To Reach Us --------------- PRS Corporation can be contacted via: Pierre R.
