LAS
VEGAS, Jan. 6, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Ceva,
Inc. (NASDAQ: CEVA), the leading licensor of silicon and software
IP that enables Smart Edge devices to connect, sense and infer data
more reliably and efficiently, and MediaTek, a global leader in
semiconductors today announced a partnership to enhance the mobile
entertainment experience, bringing the Ceva-RealSpace Elevate
multi-channel spatial audio with head tracking solution to the
recently introduced MediaTek Dimensity 9400 flagship 5G smartphone
chip using Bluetooth® LE Audio. Ceva-RealSpace Elevate is Ceva's
premium spatial audio software offering for Android and Windows
devices, providing an immersive spatial audio experience for
multi-channel and ambisonics content. Ceva-RealSpace Elevate is
already available for licensing to smartphone OEMs for use on the
Dimensity 9400 SoC. Ceva will demonstrate the solution at its booth
during CES 2025, taking place January 7-10,
2025, in Las Vegas, NV.
Spatial audio revolutionizes the listening experience by
delivering a three-dimensional sound environment that replicates
natural hearing, with audio emanating from all directions. This
immersive technology enhances sound localization, making it simpler
to pinpoint the origin of each sound, thereby enriching the realism
and engagement of music, movies, games, and conference calls.
Ceva-RealSpace Elevate features a powerful spatial audio renderer
capable of spatializing a wide range of audio content, from mono
and stereo to multi-channel and object-based audio.
Deployed on the Dimensity 9400 chipset running Android 15, the
Ceva-RealSpace Elevate solution enables the spatialization of
stereo content, which is not generally supported by Android. The
solution also includes precise head tracking, with the sound stage
remaining fixed while the head moves, allowing listeners to
experience sounds as if they are coming from the room around
them.
"The MediaTek Dimensity 9400 is designed to provide an
exceptional mobile experience, and this collaboration with
Ceva-RealSpace Elevate enables us to take audio immersion to the
next level," said Will Chen,
Wireless Business Group, Assistant General Manager from MediaTek.
"Users can experience high-quality audio that matches the visual
clarity of 4K streaming video and
gaming, all while benefiting from better performance, enhanced AI
and improved battery life."
The immersive spatial audio solution leverages the Dimensity
9400's Bluetooth LE Audio capabilities to deliver low latency audio
streaming to TWS earbuds and headphones, enhancing the realism and
quality of the listening experience. This is particularly valuable
for streaming movies and TV shows with multi-channel audio
spatialized by RealSpace. Additionally, LE Audio offers longer
listening times due to its lower power consumption compared to
classic Bluetooth. The Dimensity 9400 also supports a high-quality
microphone array, perfect for recording spatial audio and enabling
users to create truly immersive content. When played back using
Ceva-RealSpace, listeners can experience sound as it was recorded
in the real world.
"The integration of Ceva-RealSpace Elevate with the MediaTek
Dimensity 9400 chipset marks a significant advancement in
delivering high-quality, immersive audio experiences," said
Chad Lucien, vice president and
general manager of the sensors and audio business unit at Ceva.
"Our spatial audio software solution, combined with MediaTek's
cutting-edge technology, provides users with a realistic and
engaging listening experience, whether they are watching movies,
playing games, or listening to music."
About Ceva-RealSpace Elevate
Ceva-RealSpace is a
spatial audio 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. This means a
great experience isn't tied to a particular device ecosystem,
content provider, or codec. Ceva-RealSpace Elevate, the most
feature rich solution designed for the Mobile and PC ecosystems,
pairs spatial rendering on the host Android or Microsoft Windows
device with head tracking on the headset for a complete system.
