The Fraunhofer Institute for Integrated Circuits IIS announces the easyDCP Publisher. It provides a reliable and easy-to-use functionality for creating Digital Cinema Packages DCPs based on the recognized easyDCP software suite.

The world-renowned experts in audio and media technologies from Fraunhofer Institute for Integrated Circuits IIS and Realtek Semiconductor Corp., one of the world’s leading network and multimedia IC providers, today announced the porting of the MPEG-H TV Audio System decoder to Realtek’s RTD2871 Ultra High Definition Television (UHD TV) system solution has been completed.

Fraunhofer Institute for Integrated Circuits IIS, the world-renowned experts in audio and media technologies and RFmondial, a leading manufacturer of professional digital radio equipment, showcase at IBC 2017 the Fraunhofer MultimediaPlayer technology as part of RFmondial’s new DAB monitoring receiver RF-DAB for transmitter, content and remote-coverage monitoring.

Fraunhofer Institute for Integrated Circuits IIS, the world-renowned experts in audio and media technologies, and the Hypermedia innovators from the French Research and Technology Institute b<>com have teamed up at IBC 2017 to showcase an end-to-end spatial audio system for production, delivery, playback and rendering of Higher Order Ambisonics (HOA) MPEG-H Audio, the international standard for immersive audio. The first virtual reality experience produced with this toolchain is the episodic VR comedy show “Vaudeville” from French VR studio DVGroup.

Fraunhofer Institute for Integrated Circuits IIS and Analog Devices, Inc., today unveiled software technology at CEDIA 2017 designed to significantly improve the immersive sound reproduction capabilities of consumer playback devices. The new offering is a reference implementation of Fraunhofer upHear® soundbar processing with MPEG-H decoding and rendering on an Analog Devices’ digital signal processor (DSP). It is the first commercial implementation of this software, which is fully integrated into the Analog Devices’ audio framework.

Future multisensory digital systems will have the ability to understand and simulate human sensory perception. The aim of the Campus of the Senses in Erlangen is to conduct fundamental research into the digitalization of human sensory experiences and to derive new technologies and services from this knowledge. The Campus of the Senses is a joint initiative of the Fraunhofer Institutes IIS and IVV in cooperation with Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg (FAU).

RFID systems accelerate Industry 4.0 processes. The Fraunhofer Institute for Integrated Circuits IIS has developed a Multibeam Antenna that can be integrated into existing systems and improve their reliability. Fraunhofer IIS is offering companies the chance to test the antenna in individual use case scenarios as pilot users, starting in August 2017.

Fraunhofer IIS/EAS is offering advanced modeling services for device degradation effects in North America. Using these proprietary techniques, designers are now able to verify the long-term behavior of integrated circuits (ICs) and systems especially in safety critical applications. Compared to today’s solutions, the advanced models can be used in all common industrial design environments. In addition to standard degradation effects, Fraunhofer also takes into account more complex dependencies and recovery effects.
