Audio Technology Highlights by Fraunhofer IIS at AES 2022

AES New York 2022

Booth 318

At AES 2022, Fraunhofer IIS showcases a range of innovations that take the sound experience to the next level. From creation to transmission and all the way to playback: tools, technologies, and codecs by Fraunhofer IIS ensure maximum music enjoyment, highly efficient and flexible data transmission, and creation for several production formats.

^{xHE-AAC: the Latest Generation of AAC}

xHE-AAC is the latest generation of the renowned AAC codec family and now part of the Sonnox Fraunhofer Pro-Codec. Users of Sonnox can now audition and encode their creation in xHE-AAC in real time, giving audio professionals the option to pre-monitor the effects of codecs on their signals. XHE-AAC is already used by major streaming services such as Netflix and is natively supported in iOS, Android, Fire OS, and Windows. It provides DASH/HLS streaming at 12-500 kbit/s, mandatory loudness and dynamic range control, and improved speech quality as well as stereo imaging.

Come to our booth and we’ll be happy to explore how xHE-AAC can benefit your streaming application together!

^{The all-new MPEG-H Authoring Suite 5.0 – a complete MPEG-H Audio Tool Chain for free}

Tools for contemporary Next Generation Audio workflows have never been this easy:

Discover the all-new MPEG-H Authoring Suite 5.0! The complete MPEG-H Audio tool chain makes possible the authoring, encoding, and playback of your immersive, interactive audio production. It now includes an 8K video and immersive audio player, supports ADM-based production formats, and enables the conversion of Dolby Atmos to MPEG-H Audio.

Come to our booth and get a hands-on experience of MAS 5.0 and the other MPEG-H tools available for the entire production chain.

^{For truly immersive sound on headphones: Fraunhofer Cingo binaural rendering}

Cingo brings immersive sound to everyday life through the convenience of using your mobile device. While Cingo offers best-in-class audio quality, it is easy on the hardware, making it an optimal solution for DSPs integrated in mobile devices or even headphones, where processing power and power consumption are major concerns. When fed with head tracking-data, Cingo can create an even more realistic 3D immersive experience by responding to the user’s head movement with minimal latency. As a state-of-the-art binauralizer, it is the ideal companion for Next Generation Audio Codecs such as MPEG-H Audio.

Enjoy an interactive demo of Cingo, playing back MPEG-H content on mobile devices on our booth.
