Overview

Ceva-RealSpace is a complete Spatial Audio software solution combining precise 3D rendering and accurate, low-latency head tracking. RealSpace supports multiple system architectures, giving you the flexibility to render content directly on TWS earbuds, headphones, XR headsets, or speakers for the lowest latency. Or choose to render on mobile phones, gaming systems, or PCs and save BOM costs on the device. RealSpace operates independently of audio codec choices, source vendors, or device ecosystems. Pre-integrated on some of the top audio SoCs in the industry, Ceva-RealSpace helps you bring cutting-edge products to market faster and with less risk.

The Solution

Ceva-RealSpace is a platform-independent software package, available for Ceva-BX and Cadence HiFi DSP cores, Arm Cortex-M MCUs, as well as Android and Windows APO platforms, and tunable to the resources available in each particular platform. It is available in two variants for different product types. Ceva-RealSpace Personal is designed for personal audio devices like TWS and Headphones. RealSpace Personal combines superior spatial rendering with precise head tracking right on the headset for the lowest latency experience.

Ceva-RealSpace Elevate is designed for the Mobile and PC ecosystems. RealSpace Elevate pairs spatial rendering on the host Android or Microsoft Windows device with head tracking on the headset for a complete system.

Audio Validation in Multimedia Systems and its Parameters

In the massive world of multimedia, sound stands as a vital component that adds depth to the overall encounter. Whether it's streaming services, video games, or virtual reality, sound holds a crucial role in crafting immersive and captivating content.

Using audio codecs IP as the digital audio hub in mobile multimedia systems

By integrating an audio analog codec that implements the 'audio hub' functionality and is able to process and mix audio signals from asynchronous sources, system designers can free the scarce main processor resources for more relevant tasks and simplify the system design, thus achieving a more effective solution.

Application Hardware Modeling: Selective modeling for early prediction of subsystem performances through simulation

The virtual validation of subsystem performances (Pop-up Noise, Signal-to-Noise Ratio, Power supply Noise, Power consumption...) requires the modeling and simulation of complete subsystems. Application Hardware Modeling (AHM) consists in addressing the risks of performance degradation while integrating a Silicon IP in its Integrated Circuit (IC) and this IC on its Printed Circuit Board (PCB). The selection of relevant models for a subsystem performance, along with the creation and validation of models through equivalence checking, are the basics of Application Hardware Modeling for right-on-first-pass subsystems!
