SRS StudioSound HD addresses the three most common consumer TV audio complaints - inconsistent volume levels, unintelligible vocals, and poor, dimension-less sound. StudioSound HD automatically detects and levels abrupt volume fluctuations that occur when programming switches to commercial break or while changing channels. Additionally, the audio suite intelligently separates vocals from all other content and dynamically adjusts the dialog level to ensure that it's always clearly understood, all while delivering the best possible surround sound experience using built-in TV speakers, resulting in significantly enhanced depth and dimension.
John Richards, CEO, Oxford Digital said "We're delighted that SRS are making StudioSound HD available on the TinyCore platform. The ease of integration of this optimized solution for SoC and ASIC provides semiconductor manufacturers with an extremely efficient, low gatecount implementation combined with rapid time to market."
