bdSES (Speech Enhancement Suite) is a complete set of highly optimized algorithms for VoIP software applications. It includes an advanced Full Duplex Acoustic Echo Canceller and a distortion-less Noise Reduction. bdSES is specifically designed for Softphone applications where the PC-based environment and the inherited sound-card and net delay handling problems required a strong and robust solution.
Thanks to easiness of integration and the ready-to-use API, bdSES is the right solution to quickly develop a VoIP application with outstanding performances.

The sample frequency up to 32kHz and the uncompromised sound quality are important factors kept in consideration by bdSES both for a consumer and a professional application.
bdSES is ready for a multipoint conference and manage the different channels activity maintaining the speakers’ voice clear and loud, adapting the downmixing level according to the conversation status.

bdAEC-VHDL: Acoustic and Line Echo Canceller for Dedicated Hardware in VHDL

       
 

 

   

Target application:

  • Handsfree devices

  • Intercom

  • Conference Microphones

  • Consumer devices (PDAs, Smartphone, etc.)

  • Navigators

   
 
 

Echo cancellation is a strong challenge in all handsfree communication system. bdSound has developed a complete solution for echo cancellation as a VHDL library. bdAEC-VHDL is oriented to:

  • Semiconductor IC Company who wants to integrate AEC IP within its devices;

  • Semiconductor IC Company who wants to develop an ASIC with integrated AEC;

  • Final product developers that still use FPGA and want to integrate AEC features within their product

bdAEC-VHDL is a field proven solution ready to be integrated. Features:

  • Full Duplex Acoustic Echo Canceller

  • Support up to 16kHz sampling rate

  • Noise suppressor with negligible distortion and without voice attenuation

  • Adaptive Residual Echo Suppressor and Non Linear Processor

  • Natural and Adaptive Speech Dynamic Controller and Automatic Equalizer

  • Notch Filter Free Anti-Howling Solution

  • Can be implemented on low-cost FPGA (<5$/1ksample)

  • Fully Customizable

Demo board will be avalaible soon

Application Example:  Complete Microphone Array Processing Platform

       
 
   

   

Target application:

  • Conference Table-Top Microphone

  • Measurement System based on Microphone Array Processing

  • Enhancement of audio quality in consumer devices (PDAs, Smartphone, etc.)

  • Automotive hands-free system for noise reduction

 

 

bdSound has developed a complete platform for microphone array acquisition and processing. This application is able to manage up to 8 microphone, both analog electrect and modern MEMS digital output microphones. Postprocessing facilities and microSD recording.

The solution is very small footprint (20mm x 20mm) and is based on custom FPGA firmware.

 

bdSound techology contents:

  • Hardware design

  • FPGA code for acquisition and processing

  • Microphone front-end (for both Electrect and MEMS digital microphones)

  • Post-processing software running on a PC

The microphone arrays technology is well suited in all application requiring high rejection of environmental noise, focusing of the speaker, and hands-free devices.
