Cadence Tensilica HiFi DSP for Audio Becomes First IP Core to
Support MS12 v2.0 Multistream Decoder
SAN JOSE, Calif., Jan. 4, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Cadence Design
Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ: CDNS) today announced its collaboration with
Dolby Laboratories to enable the world's first TVs featuring Dolby®
Atmos® technology based on the Dolby MS12 v2.0 Multistream Decoder.
The MS12 v2.0 Multistream Decoder is an early adopter release for
the Cadence® Tensilica® HiFi DSP core for System-on-Chip (SoC)
designs.
The MS12 v2 technology enables delivery of the encompassing
sound experience of Dolby Atmos through standard TV
speakers. This fuller, more immersive, experience puts the
listener "inside the action" with advanced spatial precision that
places and moves individual sounds in three-dimensional space—even
overhead.
"The popularity of the Tensilica HiFi DSP in top tier digital
TVs and our long history of close collaborations were key drivers
for engaging with Cadence early on for the development of the MS12
v2.0 Multistream Decoder," said Mathias
Bendull, vice president, Multi-Screen Services Audio, Dolby
Laboratories. "The development of MS12 v2.0 in time for CES 2017
will help speed the availability of new products that deliver
unparalleled audio through new form factors, such as the Dolby
Atmos experience on TVs."
"Cadence continues investing to provide our leading digital TV
system OEM and semiconductor customers with the latest audio
technologies, optimized on the Tensilica HiFi DSP," said
Larry Przywara, group director of
marketing, Audio/Voice IP, Cadence. "We're delighted that our
partnership with Dolby has enabled the development of the world's
first TVs with Dolby Atmos."
The Tensilica HiFi DSP is the most widely used licensable
audio/voice/speech DSP family, with support for over 200 proven
audio/voice software packages and over 75 software partners in the
Tensilica Xtensions™ partner program. For more information on
