NXP Semiconductors N.V. unveiled Immersiv3D audio solution for the smart home market, igniting a new era of audio system design and development. The solution combines ground-breaking NXP software on its i.MX 8M Mini applications processor and will support both Dolby Atmos and DTS:X immersive audio technologies in future devices that integrate the i.MX 8M Mini SoC. The i.MX 8M Mini also brings smart capabilities like voice control to a broader range of consumer devices including soundbars, smart speakers, and AV receivers with the option for adding additional speakers to distribute smart voice control and immersive audio throughout the home. The new Immersiv3D audio solution was designed to enable Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) to bring to market affordable consumer audio devices capable of supporting Dolby Atmos and DTS:X in their next-generation devices. In conjunction with the NXP i.MX 8M family of processors, the innovative Immersiv3D audio solution introduces an advanced approach that features scalable audio processing integration into the System-on-Chip (SoC) Arm cores. This approach eliminates the need for expensive discrete DSPs, and also once-proprietary DSP design foundations, to embrace licensable cores. The solution delivers high-end audio features such as immersive multi-channel audio playback, natural language processing and voice capabilities to fit today’s digitally savvy connected consumer. The NXP Immersiv3D audio solution gives audio developers, designers and integrators a leap forward to add intelligence and Artificial Intelligence (AI) functionality while reducing cost. This includes development of enhancements like selective noise canceling where only certain sound elements are removed like car traffic or speech processing like changing speaker dialect or languages.
