A presentation of graphics and text, synchronized to the audio programming, is streamed to the phone over a data connection and the FM transmission chain is unaffected by the addition of Visual Radio.
Since October 2007, Nokia has been collaborating with RCS Inc., of New York, whose Selector music scheduling system is used by thousands of radio stations around the world.
Nokia is making the Visual Radio client available to users of other phones, and has announced that they are producing a Java applet to enable this.
This product requires no extra infrastructure at the radio station since it works by using the metatags already present in the internet stream.
Slideshow-enabled stations are already operating in some parts of the world, including Singapore, where they market this as visual radio.
RadioVIS utilises the RadioDNS framework which provides a method to translate the broadcast parameters to an IP-based resource.
