A Pc Based Platform for Multichannel Real-time Audio Processing

چکیده
In this contribution a new concept for the rapid development of real-time prototypes for digital signal processing algorithms on a General Purpose Personal Computer (GP-PC) based on the Windows operating system (Windows OS) is presented. In this approach, hardware and algorithm related programming issues are separated in order to liberate the designer from problems which are not related to the development of the algorithm. The described platform therefore admits the complete focus of the developer on algorithmic aspects. We will present the system along with example applications from acoustic echo cancelation and multichannel noise control. A third example from the field of speech coding demonstrates the computational power available on a stateof-the-art PC.

A Host-Based Real-Time Multichannel Immersive Sound Playback and Processing System
This paper presents ARIA (Application Rendering Immersive Audio). This system provides a means for the research community to easily test and integrate algorithms into a multichannel playback/recording system. ARIA uses a host-based architecture, meaning that programs can be developed and debugged in standard C++ without the need for expensive, specialized DSP programming and testing tools. ARIA...
متن کاملComputer Games and Multichannel Audio Quality Part 2 – Evaluation of Time-variant Audio Degradations under Divided and Undivided Attention
The effect of division of attention between the evaluation of multichannel audio quality degradations and involvement in a visual task (playing a computer game) was investigated. Time-variant impairments (drop-outs) were used to provide degradations in audio quality. It was observed that involvement in a visual task may significantly change the results obtained during the evaluation of audio im...
