SRS StudioSound HD allows companies like Tensilica to offer a full complement of audio technologies for a much better sound experience to HDTV customers worldwide, stated Larry Przywara, Tensilica’s director of mobile multimedia. We are already experiencing a broad adoption of SRS’ advanced audio technologies across our customer base.
SRS StudioSound HD was designed to be a comprehensive audio solution intended to solve every common consumer TV audio complaints including inconsistent volume levels, unintelligible vocals, and poor, dimension-less sound. SRS StudioSound HD automatically detects and levels abrupt volume fluctuations that normally occur when programming switches to commercial break or while changing channels. It also intelligently separates vocals from all other content and dynamically adjusts the dialog level to ensure that it’s always clearly understood. Additionally, StudioSound HD delivers an immersive front rendered surround sound experience using built-in TV speakers, significantly enhancing depth and dimension and further improves accuracy of surround rendering from SRS 5.1 or other surround encoded 2-channel content being streamed directly from the web.
We are excited to extend our relationship with Tensilica to bring our home entertainment audio solutions to their HiFi audio IP core, said Joanna Skrdlant, Senior Director, Global Platform Partner Program at SRS Labs. The HiFi cores are optimally designed to handle advanced audio enhancement processing solutions such as SRS TruVolume, SRS TruSurround HD and now, SRS StudioSound HD. Tensilica is well respected within the DSP space as a key audio core supplier and we welcome the opportunity to work together to deliver an even greater product with the inclusion of our flagship StudioSound HD all-in-one solution.
Tensilica’s HiFi Audio DSP is extremely efficient, uses very little power, is supported by over 80 audio/voice codecs and audio-enhancement software packages, and has been designed into popular consumer products ranging from smart phones to digital TVs, home entertainment receivers, and
Blu-ray Disc players.
