HDSX - High Definition Sound Expansion Now Licensable on Tensilica HiFi DSP Cores from Cadence
At CES 2014 in Las Vegas, Kronoton successfully demonstrated their patented stereo sound expansion process on HiFi DSP
Hamburg - January 29, 2014 -- Kronoton announced that its HDSX® software is now available for the Cadence® Tensilica® HiFi Audio DSP intellectual property (IP) cores. The solution was demonstrated at the 2014 International Consumer Electronics Show (CES), and redefines the spatiality of stereo sound. HSDX expands the sound – independent of the playback device or audio format – in a fully automated manner. HDSX can also be used in a parallel basis in order to enhance the sound of the matrix surround decoders from as many channels as desired.
Gunnar Kron, managing partner at Kronoton, said “HDSX® is the answer to the great demand for stereo sound field expansion. We are delighted to become a HiFi audio partner, bringing HDSX to the most popular and widely licensed audio DSP core.”
Larry Przywara, director of audio/voice IP Marketing at Cadence, adds: “We are observing an increasing demand among chip designers for audio solutions that greatly open up the dimensions of the sound field – particularly for small speaker systems in portable consumer devices. The HiFi Audio/Voice DSPs provide a great platform for HDSX and can offload the complete audio function from the host processor. We are pleased to add HDSX software to our library of over 125 software products ported to the popular HiFi architecture.”
With HDSX®, the stereo sound field is significantly expanded. This results in more space for each piece of audio content and, thus, the audio content can be heard more clearly and completely – without any artificial effects.
