COLLEGE PARK, Md., Sep 18, 2008 (ASCRIBE NEWS via COMTEX) -- ADI | Quote | Chart | News | PowerRating -- Analog Devices, a provider of high-performance semiconductors for signal-processing applications, announced that its SoundMAX audio processing algorithms and silicon solutions are now available for next-generation HDTV (high-definition television) designs.

Part of ADI's line of Advantiv advanced television solutions, SoundMAX for TV audio solutions provide the critical audio sub-system functionality to enable high-quality sound in flat-panel plasma and LCD digital TVs.

" The proliferation of flat-panel plasma and LCD TVs is placing new demands on the audio signal processing chain," said Bill Bucklen, segment director for Advanced TV, Analog Devices. " While designers strive to deliver a realistic audio experience that approximates surround-sound speaker systems or pre-packaged home theater-in-a-box systems, manufacturers must contend with smaller HDTV form factors that leave little room for high-fidelity speakers. Consumer Electronics Association market data indicates that 85 percent of HDTVs will not be connected to an external AV receiver or multiple speakers. This means that most HDTVs must be capable of providing a high-quality audio experience using internal audio systems."

With the SoundMAX library of over 60 algorithms, television audio designers can take advantage of the industry's only platform to address the design needs of the entire HDTV audio signal chain. The complete portfolio allows system designers to unlock the full audio potential of the HDTV experience and provides a single resource for designing multiple TV platforms across a wide range of price points.

" By combining ADI's audio building blocks, algorithms, system-level innovations and design support into one platform, the SoundMAX audio solutions portfolio enables HDTV designers to deliver the gold-standard in TV audio," said Bucklen. " In addition, designers can reduce development costs by 20 percent or more over solutions that require customers to purchase TV audio components and software from multiple vendors."

The company said that its SoundMAX for TV audio solutions portfolio includes all necessary analog and digital signal processing, multi-channel audio decoding, post-processing and algorithm-supported audio enhancements required to build a complete high-definition (HD) audio signal chain. This includes ADI's advanced television audio processors, Class-D amplifiers, HDMI receivers, design environments, such as the SigmaStudio graphical programming tool for ADI audio processors, and audio algorithms. Both ADI-developed and third-party audio algorithms are included.
