Audio Platform

As part of our CorePool IP and solution program, we offer the first real vendor independent combined hardware/software platform (Press Release) for audio applications. This platform is intended for SOC (system on a chip) implementations. It combines a proven and configurable processor core, ARCtangent^TM-A4, offered by ARC International and the distinct expertise of Fraunhofer IIS in audio coding technology.

In contrast to off-the-shelf components like MP3 decoder ICs and existing embedded solutions, this platform provides a very high level of flexibility and is fully independent of a specific chip vendor. This enables cost and time optimized system design and production.

Software IP Cores

The audio platform is not limited to the base decoders offerd above, but may also support additional audio standards like the quality enhanced successors MP3PRO and AAC+SBR (aka AAC plus). Future versions are planed to include options for real time audio encoding and for video (H.263, MPEG-4 Simple Profile) or still image applications.
