For more than 60 years, the AES has been the largest gathering of audio professionals and enthusiasts on the globe, attracting delegates from over 100 countries worldwide. Workshops, tutorials, technical papers and the exhibition floor provide attendees with a wealth of learning, networking and business opportunities. CSR's Neil Smyth will be presenting a paper entitled 'A Lossless/Near-Lossless Audio Codec for Low Latency Streaming Applications on Embedded Devices' at the Speech and Coding Paper Session at this year's event. With an increased need for high quality audio streaming in devices such as home audio networking systems, wireless transmission capacities continue to grow. The aim is to utilise this increasing data bandwidth to perform real-time wireless streaming of audio content coded in a lossless or near-lossless format. The paper will discuss the development of an adaptive audio coding algorithm that balances the design goals of low latency, low complexity, error robustness, and a dynamically-variable bit rate that scales to mathematically-lossless coding under suitable conditions. Other Paper Sessions at the AES convention include Speech and Hearing, Audio Equipment and Audio Content Management.
