TVIA SELECTS SPATIALIZER N-2-2 VIRTUAL SURROUND SOUND TECHNOLOGY FOR USE IN ITS STREAMING MEDIA PROCESSORS
DSP-based Software Enables Set-Top Box Producers to Economically Deliver Rich Sound From Two Speakers A highly integrated solution, CyberPro5055 is used in broadband set-top boxes, Internet enabled devices and digital televisions from leading OEM manufacturers. Tvia will be showcasing its CyberPro streaming media processors designed into the latest set-top boxes and Internet enabled devices at CES this week
The DSP-based Spatializer N-2-2 software features proprietary psycho-acoustic optimization algorithms, enabling it to reproduce the spatial realism of 5.1 channels of Dolby Digitala through just two standard speakers. Designed to enhance the listener's entertainment experience, the Spatializer software delivers an ultra-wide, deep and robust optimal listening area (sweet spot). By specifying CyberPro 5055 with Spatializer N-2-2, OEMs can deliver set-top boxes that simulate a full, multi-channel playback system with complete audio depth and drama, including superior low-frequency effect enhancement.
The CyberPro5055 is a complete, easy-to-integrate solution that provides all the hardware and software components OEMs need to design feature-rich set-top boxes. Offering real-time performance, it processes multiple streams of media content including, video, audio, voice, data, graphics text and animation.
The processor combines a high-performance video processor as well as multiple video capture engines, scaling, time-base correction, de-interlacing, overlay/transparency processing, picture-in-picture and flicker filter to ensure optimum TV display performance. The CyberPro 5055 also features FlexiBus? , which enables direct interface to major RISC CPUs running most real-time operating systems (RTOS).
"Surround sound is sought after in today's versatile set-top boxes, even at the low-end," said Vahe Ahay, Tvia Vice President of Marketing. "With Spatializer N-2-2 and our CyberPro streaming media processors, OEMs have a single solution for visually and audibly differentiating their products from the competition without pricing their products out of the market."
"CyberPro products are widely recognized for offering increased functionality and are used in the leading set-top boxes produced by manufacturers such as Acer, Celerity, Fujitsu, Philips/AOLTV and Stellar One," said Henry R. Mandell, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Spatializer Audio Laboratories.
"This is our first announced design win for the set-top box market, which is a high growth area we have been targeting. We're very pleased that Tvia has selected Spatializer N-2-2 software to enhance the set-top products of major manufacturers like these. Now that we are positioned on this exciting platform, our efforts will be directed at evangelizing the benefits of the technology to these manufacturers and customers to expand our revenue base. Industry analyst project that TV set-top box sales will more than triple over the next two years, and with Tvia's track record in anticipating market trends, it will continue to capture a growing share of this market."
