Natural teleconferencing: Audio technologies for high quality communication

For natural-sounding communication via IP telephone, Fraunhofer IIS offers the award-winning MPEG-4 Enhanced Low-Delay AAC (AAC-ELD) and an effective multi-channel acoustic echo control. Listen to the Fraunhofer technologies and enjoy high-quality communication.

 

High-quality 5.1 sound: MPEG Surround for digital broadcasting and online music distribution

MPEG Surround is the new ISO standard delivering an iPod-compatible, high-quality surround sound experience at stereo bit-rates whilst remaining fully backwards compatible to stereo or even mono. An increasingly popular choice worldwide, MPEG Surround can be distributed by online music sources, deployed in digital broadcasting services, and used with a variety of applications for portable music players and mobile phones. At AES, visitors will be able to witness a live demonstration of MPEG Surround Internet radio streaming to an iPod Touch using the MPEG Surround binaural headphone mode, with real-time playback on the device. There will also be an opportunity to experience MPEG Surround from a legacy iPod through a Fraunhofer-designed iPod docking station prototype.

 

New Version: SX Pro for digital broadcasting

Fraunhofer IIS presents Version 2 of SX Pro, the stereo-to-multi-channel upmixing solution that enables a seamless transition from stereo to surround content distribution. SX Pro V2 offers significantly enhanced flexibility for broadcasters, including the ability to adjust the upmix to complement a station’s musical characteristics.



 

Preview: Unified Speech and Audio Codec – Good stereo sound at 16 kbit/s

The Unified Speech and Audio Codec is the first audio codec worldwide that supports high-quality compression of both speech and audio signals at very low bit-rates. For audio signals at very low bit-rates, the codec offers better quality than High Efficiency AAC v2, the most efficient audio codec worldwide. At the same time, the speech quality achieved is superior to state-of-the-art speech codecs. Applications that will benefit from the new codec are, for example, mobile TV and multimedia download applications via wireless networks. Be sure to check out the superior quality of Fraunhofer codecs at AES.

 

Preview: Spatial Audio Object Coding (SAOC) for interactive remixing and teleconferencing

With the upcoming MPEG standard SAOC, music lovers will be able to enjoy a highly individual music-listening experience that enables them to adapt the position and volume of instruments and vocals according to their personal preferences. SAOC will also have tremendous potential for teleconferencing sessions, with the option to position communication partners in a virtual 3D-sound conference room.
