Audio codecs simplify multimedia SoC design
The new MIPS Consumer Audio Platform provides easy access to a range of audio codecs developed by Fraunhofer IIS for implementation in multimedia system-on-chip applications.
The very-low-bitrate audio codec provides high quality in stereo at 32Kbit/s.
These bitrates enable mobile operators to offer full-length, high-quality music on their streaming or download services.
Thus consumers can enjoy the content immediately, without waiting for it to download from their computers.
"With Fraunhofer's MPEG-4 HE-AAC v2 implementation, BenQ Mobile products S75 and SL75 will offer consumers a quality listening experience on handheld devices".
"HE-AAC v2 compression technology is a perfect match for mobile entertainment services", said Stefan Geyersberger, Manager IP Licensing and New Business at Fraunhofer IIS.
MPEG-4 HE-AAC will be widely used in multimedia broadcasting services for mobile devices such as DVB-H and 3GPP streaming and is already implemented in millions of devices for digital broadcasting systems such as XM Radio and Digital Radio Mondiale DRM.
It is the de-facto standard for music download services on mobile phones.
