DSP Development Services for Tensilica Customers from Inband Software

Inband Software has experience in a variety of DSP applications including audio and voice codecs, image processing, and digital communications and the company collaborated with Tensilica in the development of several speech codecs, such as G.711, G.726 and G.722, as well as various packet loss concealment modules.



We have been very impressed with the technical skills, capabilities, and speech codec standards experience of the Inband Software team, stated Larry Przywara, Tensilica's senior director of Mobile Multimedia. They know how to efficiently optimize software to run on our XtensaR and HiFi architectures and deliver a product that meets our exacting requirements for standards compliance, robustness, and conformance to our coding and interface specs.



Tensilica's tools are first class and let us quickly find performance hot spots so we can focus our efforts in the areas that offer the biggest improvement, stated Juan Carlos Rojas, PhD, Inband Software's CEO. We were most impressed with the high level of productivity and optimal performance we could get from the Tensilica solution while remaining completely in C code. We didn't need any assembly-level programming to get optimal efficiency.
