Cmedia is set to unveil ultimate ENC technology, gaming and pro-audio solutions at CES

At this year’s Consumer Electronics Show (CES), Cmedia's audio software solutions, Environmental Noise Cancellation (ENC) and Xear™ Plus Technology, will be presented for the first time. Our PS3 Gaming and high-Speed USB2.0 Pro-Audio Solutions will be launched as well, and are certain to provide an ultimate audio experience.   Along with high integration hardware platforms, Cmedia provides value-added software solutions to our customers. Unique to the industry, ourEnvironmental Noise Cancellation (ENC) technology utilizes dual microphone units on the headset/handset to suppress environmental noises, thus improving the voice clarity when one is presented with any noisy scenario. With Cmedia noise cancellation technology, we reduce background noise without distorting voice quality, and therefore provide better, clearer communication anywhere. Moreover, for audio playback, our Xear™ Plus audio restoration technology provides the ability to overcome the negative effects of data compression by refining audio to its near-original characteristics. Unlike other alternatives, this technology was born in the studio and refined by artisans and engineers over decades through partnerships with music industry luminaries. These technologies include Audio Restoration, Dynamic Bass, and Voice Clarity features.   Cmedia’s is also introducing a PS3 Gaming Headset and Gaming Adaptor turn-key solution. These solutions are designed for the video game console market, which allows for the mixing of gaming sounds and the chat or the voices of your teammates, enhancing the game-play audio experience. When wearing the sole USB headset player perceive more detailed sounds increasing the competitiveness, also at night, gamers now have the ability to play the PS3 games without disturbing others.  In addition of the PS3 solution, for musical game titles on game consoles that require USB gaming microphones, Cmedia offers an integrated single chip solution, the CM6327A. CM6327A provides a low-noise Mic pre-amplifier, wide-range PLL, and high-quality ADC. This solution is highly compatible with all game consoles and existing game titles, such as Rock-Band and Guitar Hero. The world’s first single chip USB2.0 Microphone Solutions are designed for achieving high-quality 24bit / 192KHz audio data recording and playback, along with low latency and low jitter transferring. The high SNR, wide-band recording USB2.0 microphone offers an easy-to-use design by providing the volume controls on the UI and physical sliders on the hardware.       About Cmedia Founded in 1991, Cmedia is the global leading IC / software solution provider for PC Audio.

Cmedia wins an International CES Innovations 2009 Design and Engineering Award

Cmedia, the world's leading audio IC and solution provider, has cooperated with ASUS to design innovative ASUS Xonar HDAV1.3 HDMI AV card based on the customized AV200 audio processor, and made it gain the International CES Innovations 2009 Design and Engineering Award.   Xonar HDAV1.3, the world-first audio solution that enables passing through lossless digital audio such as Dolby TrueHD、DTS-HD Master Audio Bit-Streams via HDMI 1.3 on PC platforms and it's the only solution for HTPC (Home Theater Personal Computer) to enter the new Blu-ray era.   Xonar HDAV1.3 is compatible with AACS regulation to play back bit-to-bit exact lossless Blu-ray audio- without any down-sampling to below DVD quality- under Protected Audio Playback System (PAPS) protocol between Cmedia chipset and ArcSoft's TotalMedia Theatre software Blu-ray player. It's the first time to allow PC users to enjoy next generation High-Bit-Rate audio inside the Blu-ray disc, such as DTS-HD, Dolby TrueHD and Dolby Digital Plus, over 120dB DAC output or bit-stream to Blu-ray home theater systems over one HDMI1.3 cable combined with Full-HD video, offering a whole new exceptional audio and entertainment experience to users when watching Blu-ray movies, which the common sound cards and onboard audio can not deliver at all so far. It makes Xonar HDAV1.3 become a necessary upgrade component for all Blu-ray PC users.   The main reason for the award winning in CES 2009 is the powerful integration comprising of Cmedia's customized AV200 audio processor and ASUS Xonar HDAV1.3 innovative design lets user be the first to enjoy Dolby TrueHD, DTS-HD's lossless compression audio in up-to-24Bit/192KHz high-fidelity over to their AV receivers, bringing the ultimate audio-visual experience. This is not only meets user's high quality audio demand but also demonstrates Cmedia and ASUS' R&D capability and leading position in the audio solution market.     About Cmedia Cmedia is the world's leading IC and software solution provider for PC Audio. With the most experienced mixed-signal and digital audio semiconductor design and software integration capability, Cmedia has developed innovative, quality, and integrated PC audio solutions including PCI, AC97, HD Audio, and USB audio to a variety of PC OEMs, motherboard, sound card, headset, speaker, and PC audio peripheral manufacturers all around the world.

Cmedia CM7000 Environmental Noise Cancellation (ENC) Voice Processor SOC Wins 2011 Computex Best Choice Award

Dramatically enhances mobile phone, headset and handset communication quality Following 2011 CES Audio Product Innovation Award of Xonar sound card, which Cmedia has collaborated with ASUS to develop, Cmedia’s new launching CM7000 Environmental Noise Cancellation (ENC)Voice Processor SOC won Computex 2011 Best Choice Award of IC & Component category again due to its industrial leading noise cancellation capability while keeping voice fidelity, flexible algorithm and SoC architecture, as well as its tiny chip size. Cmedia’s Xear™ VoClear dual-mic ENC technology could be applied to mobile phone and headset products. It utilizes two low-cost omni-mics to capture independent signals and then distinguish the target voice and dynamic ambient noises by algorithm to further cancel the environmental noises from the mixed signal, leaving clear voice to be heard. In almost any ordinary noisy environments such as heavy traffic roadside, noisy subway, sports stadium, expo center, or even disco or karaoke pub, user can deliver noise-free, crystal clear voice communication, and no more need to repeat the words more and more loudly, or to find another quiet place to make a call. It could also save the worry sometimes you may not want to be known by the caller where you are. It will extremely enhance the convenience and privacy for making a call and refresh the user’s communication experience.  “Dual-mic ENC function has been getting more and more common on high-end Bluetooth headsets and smart phones. From cost and marketing analysis perspectives, it will become a “must-have” standard feature in the future. However, most of the existing products in the market could only suppress the background noises partially, and could not make a “WOW” feeling. Many users even don’t know the function is built into their devices. Cmedia’s advantage is integrating innovative algorithm on a small but versatile CM7000 DSP SoC to cancel up-to-40dB background noises, about 10 times better than existing products. In most noisy occasions, enabling ENC function will make it sound so quiet and most customers who have seen the demo all felt a “WOW” experience. I think this may be one of the major reasons to win the Computex award." says Jason Liang, director of C-Media Electronics Inc.   CM7000 ENC Voice Processor SOC Features: Highly-integrated, mixed-signal system-on-chip (SOC) voice processor  World’s top performance Xear® VoClear™ Environmental Noise Cancellation with dual omni-microphone (Up-to-40dB, ~ 10xbetter than common products)  Configurable firmware  High mic mismatching tolerance to save production test cost and ensure yield-rate  Optional AEC and Mono-Mic Noise Reduction functions  Differential high-performance Σ-Δ 2-channel codec and complete analog/digital audio interfaces Flexible power and clock sources  Power-Down/Suspend power management 30-pin WLCSP small footprint packages; Another CM7000N QFN-32 package available  Cmedia CM7000 has been formally released to end customers, please visit Cmedia website for further product information or contact information: http://www.cmedia.com.tw
