Booth #15726, Central Hall

^{Step Inside, Feel the Future: Welcome to our Tech Home at CES 2024}

We are thrilled to welcome you to our Tech Home at booth #15726, where we will showcase our latest innovations. In each room of our home of technology, you'll have the chance to discover different applications of our innovations.

This year, we also invite you to our Exhibit Suite 35-204 at the Venetian Tower, where we created a real-life experience of our latest Fraunhofer upHear technology to wow you with an insight into what your smart devices might soon be capable of!

Take a tour of our house – from the living room to the office and hobby room and into our garden. Find out how our technologies upHear, Cingo, xHE-AAC, LC3/LC3plus, and MPEG-H Audio not only provide you with exceptional entertainment moments but can also improve your productivity in your day-to-day work. Meet us at booth #15726 to take a tour.

^{upHear line of Audio Processing Technologies}

Before you step into our house, we want to invite you to also visit our "home from home" in the Venetian Tower, Exhibit Suite 35-204. Discover the new upHear Flexible Rendering and hear how it intelligently uses an array of devices to create enveloping sound. We also introduce how the upHear AI-Based Noise Reduction enables a clear signal with low complexitiy AI on any device. Also, the upHear Target Speaker Extraction lets you choose which voice you want to listen to - even in a challenging environment.

After that, join us in our living room and experience every dimension of sound – thanks to the upHear Virtualizer boosting the playback of the Sennheiser AMBEO soundbar range. The technology in our office is all about improving the quality of communication thanks to upHear Microphone Processing. Visitors can get a hands-on experience of how our technology is able to deliver excellent sound quality even in busy environments like an expo booth.

^{Fraunhofer Cingo: For Truly Immersive Sound on Headphones}

A typical living room brings peace and recreation to its inhabitants – so does ours: Cingo delivers immersive soundscapes to your headphones, your ears, and your imagination. It provides best-in-class audio quality and is easy on the hardware. This makes it the perfect solution for the DSPs of mobile devices or even headphones, where processing power and power consumption are major concerns. When fed with headtracking data, Cingo can create an even more realistic 3D sound experience by responding with minimal latency to the user’s head movement. The state-of-the-art binauralizer is the ideal companion for Next Generation Audio codecs such as MPEG-H Audio.

^{MPEG-H Audio: Best-in-Class Entertainment}

Of course, our living room is equipped with outstanding entertainment technologies. Discover recent advancements in our MPEG-H Audio ecosystem. They span from developments in the broadcast and streaming area to advanced accessibility options. MPEG-H Audio is included in the ATSC, DVB, TTA (Korean) and SBTVD (Brazilian) TV standards and the world’s first terrestrial UHD TV service in South Korea. In Brazil, it enhances terrestrial HD TV services with personalized and immersive sound and has been selected as the sole mandatory audio system for Brazil’s next-generation TV 3.0 broadcast service.

^{Step Outside with xHE-AAC}

Our “Tech Home” acknowledges the fact that most people use streaming technologies on the go, too. That’s why we created our outdoor space, where users can encounter the benefits of using xHE-AAC while on the move. It is the latest generation of the renowned AAC codec line and already used by major streaming services such as Netflix, by Facebook stories, and by Instagram Reels. xHE-AAC is natively supported in iOS, Android, Fire OS, and Windows. It provides DASH/HLS streaming at 12-500 kbit/s, mandatory loudness and dynamic range control, and improved speech quality as well as stereo imaging.

^{LC3/LC3plus: High-quality Audio for the Entire Communication Ecosystem}

The hobby room greets its visitors with various implementations of our LC3/LC3plus codec that address the drawbacks of today's wireless communication platforms. The low complexity of the codec meets the requirements of wireless communication platforms such as Bluetooth, DECT, and VoIP terminals. By reducing the required bit rate by about 50 percent compared to older codecs, LC3 and LC3plus enable energy-saving services that make a longer battery life or the development of smaller products possible. Thanks to the flexible codec design, applications are not limited to voice services, but can also be extended to high-quality music streaming. At the same time, the codec operates with low coding delay, low computational complexity, and small memory requirements. Get ready to experience how LC3/LC3plus noticeably improves your wireless devices.

We look forward to meeting you at CES 2024 in Las Vegas, taking place January 9-12. Make sure to schedule a meeting with our experts at the booth or in the Venetian Suite to take a deep dive into our technologies.
