Dirac's software optimized for the CEVA-TeakLite-III architecture

CEVA, Inc. and Dirac Research AB have partnered to deliver advanced speaker correction capabilities for the 32-bit CEVA-TeakLite-III DSP targeting mobile, home and automotive applications.

The Dirac HD Sound solution is a mixed-phase speaker correction technology that optimizes a sound system's transient reproduction for optimal performance and clarity. This software offering has now been fully optimized for the native 32-bit processing capabilities of the CEVA-TeakLite-III architecture.

"CEVA is recognized for its advanced 32-bit audio DSPs, with numerous production design wins and broad market adoption. Their audio-tuned architecture and advanced instruction set provide a cost-effective and high-quality platform on which to implement the Dirac HD Sound technology. Using CEVA's comprehensive software development tools and their excellent support, we were able to produce and demonstrate a fully optimized version of Dirac HD Sound in a matter of days," said Mathias Johansson, CEO at Dirac.

"We are pleased to add Dirac's premium quality audio post-processing capability to the ecosystem of our CEVA-TeakLite-III DSP, supporting more than 90 voice and audio codecs and pre/post-processing functions," said Eran Briman, vice president of marketing at CEVA, "Dirac's approach enables a high quality post-processing solution for developers of audio ICs in an easy to deploy, cost-efficient manner."
