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.

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
