Tensilica HiFi Audio DSP used in Novatek's Home Entertainment SOCs

We selected the HiFi Audio DSP because it was the most proven, complete solution available, with all of the audio software we needed already ported and optimized for the architecture, stated JH Chang, Senior Vice President, Novatek. This was the right decision as we were able to quickly incorporate the HiFi Audio DSP into our designs and get these three chips into volume production.

We're very impressed with how quickly Novatek was able to get these three chips into volume production and their growing market share in digital televisions and set-top boxes, stated Larry Przywara, Tensilica's senior director of Multimedia Marketing. By utilizing our library of over 100 audio/voice and enhancement software packages, Novatek was able to get the software resources they needed without delay.
