Jan 08, 2009 (TELECOMWORLDWIRE via COMTEX) -- ATVL | Quote | Chart | News | PowerRating -- ARC International (LSE:ARK), a provider of consumer intellectual property (IP) to OEM and semiconductor companies, introduced on Wednesday (7 January) new vertically integrated audio intellectual property (IP) solutions for three consumer electronics product categories: digital TVs and home theatres, portable media devices and PC and laptop computers.

According to the company, the 'sound-to-silicon' solutions include ARC's audio enrichment software, low power hardware platform, optimised codecs and related software, as well as development and mastering tools and services. The solutions are expected to reduce development costs for OEM and semiconductor companies, while providing consumers superior audio experiences for music, movies and games.

The company's Sonic Focus software, optimised to the low power ARC Sound Subsystem, delivers a natural listening experience and extends playback time on battery powered products. For semiconductor companies, the 'Sonic Focus ready' ARC Sound Subsystem offers low power and small form factor. Codecs, drivers, OSs and software development and EDA tools complement the configurable ARC processor in the subsystem, reducing development and test time. Each ARC solution includes the Virtual Bass software that delivers a rich bass sound on existing speakers and headphones, eliminating the need for woofers.

ARC Portable Media Device Solution enables consumers to enjoy music, movies and games regardless of their location. It provides an integrated audio offering that chip vendors can differentiate to reduce silicon cost and operating power and provide competitive advantage and allows OEMs to reduce their manufacturing cost.

ARC Digital TV and Home Theater Solution creates a home entertainment centre listening experience. It eliminates costly components for the OEM, such as centre channel speakers and woofers, in this way reducing speaker count, as well as amplifiers and hardware. The solution also enables chip builders to create a differentiated device that addresses set-top box, digital TV, home theatre and home media server applications.

The ARC Personal Computer and Laptop audio solution provides a home entertainment centre listening experience on PCs and laptops using existing speakers or headphones. It includes ARC Sonic Focus audio enrichment products that refine the sound so it resembles the original performance, while eliminating the need for costly audio components, the company said.

ARC's integrated audio solutions are available immediately for licensing to OEMs and semiconductor companies. No financial details were disclosed.
