Turnkey Far-Field Voice Activation Kit From DSP Group and DSP Concepts to be Showcased at Broadband World Forum
October 20 2019 - 11:58PM
DSP Group, Inc., a global leader in wireless chipsets for a wide
range of smart-enabled devices, and DSP Concepts, Inc., a developer
of embedded audio processing solutions, have announced Cherry, a
reference kit that combines DSP Group’s DBMD7 SmartVoice processors
with DSP Concepts’ TalkTo™ suite of microphone processing and
machine-learning algorithms for voice-controlled systems. TalkTo
can cancel up to 40 dB of referenced source sound and 30 dB of
unreferenced noise, bringing accurate and reliable voice control to
far-field voice applications such as TVs, set-top boxes, home
gateways, sound bars and smart speakers that often operate in
high-noise environments.
In addition to TalkTo, Cherry supports DSP Concepts’ Audio
Weaver® to let developers quickly and effectively craft and deploy
custom voice-processing as well as speaker processing algorithms on
the DBMD7.
DSP Group will be demonstrating the Cherry reference kit at the
Broadband World Forum in Amsterdam this week.
The DBMD7 processors part of DSP Group’s SmartVoice family of
audio & voice processing solutions for edge devices. SmartVoice
processor features include scalability, low power, cost
effectiveness and the ability to also bring best-in-class always-on
voice control and voice call performance to power-sensitive
applications. In the case of Cherry’s target products, the DBMD7
meets the need for high-performance processing to run the advanced
algorithms required for far-field voice activation, accuracy, range
and reliability. At the same time, it allows the Cherry to help
meet vendors’ EnergyStar requirements for stand-by power
consumption.
“The DBMD7 line of audio & voice processors carefully
balances the low power consumption needed for smart sensing with
the high-performance compute capability and large embedded memory
needed for high-quality, low-latency voice and ML processing at the
edge,” said Yosi Brosh, CVP, SmartVoice at DSP Group. “Combined
with DSP Concepts’ TalkTo and Audio Weaver technologies in the
Cherry reference kit, designers can more easily tap the full
potential of our DBMD7 processors to quickly and cost effectively
deploy high-end voice control in what we are seeing to be an
expanding array of exciting, next-generation products.”
“We’re excited to have TalkTo and Audio Weaver running on DSP
Group’s DBMD7 processors in the Cherry kit,” said Paul Beckmann,
DSP Concepts’ CTO and founder. “The DBMD7 makes it easy to add
advanced audio processing to devices such as TVs, home gateways,
and set-top boxes, where the performance of existing processors is
already maxed out. Its energy-efficient design will help bring our
TalkTo technology into new applications such as portable and
battery-powered products, while DSP Group’s excellent sales and
technical support organizations will make it easier than ever to
bring our technologies to these markets.”
