Synaptics to Showcase Smart Edge AI, Turnkey Media Streamer Solutions at IBC 2019
September 09 2019 - 8:00AM
IBC 2019 CONFERENCE -- Synaptics®
Incorporated (NASDAQ: SYNA), the leading developer of human
interface solutions, today announced it will showcase new edge
computing demonstrations featuring its industry unique Smart Edge
AI™ AudioSmart® and VideoSmart® SoCs with machine learning AI
capabilities that target a new generation of emerging smart home
devices. In addition, Synaptics will highlight its partnerships
with several industry leaders in the development of comprehensive
reference designs that enable both large and small global pay TV
service providers, retailers and OEMs to quickly get to market.
Edge Computing SoCs Synaptics will
demonstrate secure inferencing and edge-based processing in devices
that complement cloud-based functions. This new era of hybrid
cloud/edge IoT is facilitated by ‘local intelligence’ that lessens
the need for (and risk of) being always connected. AI-driven neural
networks, processed at the edge, hold the key to addressing
challenges in performance and robustness, as well as address
privacy concerns, that currently stand in the way of wide-spread
adoption and consumer confidence in IoT.
Biometric demonstrations include face
identification and voice identification without enrollment and
without internet access -- Smart Edge AI differentiates your voice
or face from another voice or face, and through machine learning,
delivers specialized content and personalization. Synaptics’ edge
computing SoCs enable smart devices to operate by voice or computer
vision and control device-to-device operation within the home,
making a cloud connection only when needed such as streaming music
and real-time updates of news and weather. These smart devices will
adapt to the user in addition to the user adapting to the device,
thus enabling a helpful ambient computing environment.
Other computer vision demonstrations that leverage
Synaptics’ edge computing SoCs include logo and other content
detection that service providers can pinpoint for monetization
purposes when their subscribers watch television and deliver custom
advertising campaigns or programming based on users’ media
consumption. Another machine learning feature demonstrated enables
consumers to train their television programing to capture marks in
certain events, such as baseball pitches during a game, in order to
smart fast-forward to desirable content making for an enhanced user
experience.

Synaptics is partnering with a variety of industry-leaders in the
development of comprehensive turnkey platforms designed to enable
OEMs and television service providers to quickly deploy

mesh systems. This collaboration leverages Synaptics’
