Unlimited in-car entertainment: QNX launches new software for hands-free kits

QNX Aviage Acoustic Processing Suite 2.0 provides first-class hands-free devices in cars

Hanover - 21 October 2011 - QNX Software Systems Limited, a leading global provider of software tools and engineering services for the in-car telematics and infotainment market, presents new to his Acoustic Processing Suite: From now on automobile manufacturers, and (Tier One) suppliers use for the automotive industry, the QNX ® Aviage ® Acoustic Processing Suite 2.0 for the development of high-quality hands-free solutions. The voice processing software from QNX Software Systems is now deployed in North America, Europe and Asia from 18 car manufacturers in more than 100 vehicle models.

Hands-free devices are increasingly in demand. But you have to offer, despite the high noise level inside the car a high level of accuracy and comprehensiveness. The QNX Aviage Acoustic Processing Suite is a proven solution for the receive and transmit side of the hands-free devices and provides an acoustic echo cancellation (AEC), suppression of noise and wind noise, dynamic parametric equalization (DPEQ), coding of high frequencies and bandwidth extension. The suite supports automobile manufacturers in the development of inexpensive hands-free solutions, with no dedicated hardware is required for voice processing and thus more fine-tuning can be reduced from days to hours.

Features of the suite:

- Advanced Noise Reduction: Works independently on different sub-bands and eliminates existing disturbances at different frequencies, so that audio distortion is minimized and the speech intelligibility can be improved significantly. In addition, can be reconstructed through language disorders covered. Low road and engine noise can be reduced significantly, which ensures a hands-free with high quality.

- Automatic calculation of compensation and delays: Delays the audio system can automatically calculate and compensate, which can account for almost all of the required product ballot. The automobile manufacturer, thus saving time and costs.

- Off-axis Noise Suppression: Suppress audio signals, which do not apply directly in front of a microphone (Off-Axis). Accordingly, when a system with two microphones, one focusing on the person speaking is possible and so achieve greater clarity and intelligibility.

The suite now also supports vehicles with larger interiors.

The systems that are using the QNX Aviage Acoustic Processing Suite, includes the recently introduced OnStar ® FMV aftermarket rearview mirror. With this you can use a variety of OnStar services, such as automatic emergency call system or navigation capabilities and hands-free telephone.

"It gives hands-free sets in cars more frequently, and the voice processing software from QNX Software Systems has some of the most advanced solutions in vehicles possible," said Norbert Struck, head of Europe at QNX. "In industry, the development team of QNX was considered to be secret, but now is in the best hands-free sets of many major car manufacturers, the QNX-language processing software."
