• Each component contains inherent programs; news, music, sports, and many more.
• Each Ensemble and service component has its label, and users can recognize a current broadcasting
station and service contents by using the label.
• The main service component is broadcast as Primary while the others are broadcast as Secondary.
• Also rich character information is serviced through Dynamic Labels; song title, artist composer etc.
