Spatializer Audio Laboratories Inc. Expands Audio Enhancement
Support to the Texas Instruments TM320C55x DSP Generation
Availability of Spatializer OntheGoFX(TM) Audio Enhancement Software
Signals Spatializer's Commitment to Providing Improved Audio
Performance to Customers of Successive Generations of TI DSps
SANTA CLARA, Calif., Sept. 24 /PRNewswire/ -- Signaling its increasing
commitment to providing turn-key audio enhancement solutions to successive
generations of Texas Instruments DSP technology, Spatializer Audio
Laboratories Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: SPAZ) today announced that its
Spatializer OntheGoFX(TM) algorithms have passed eXpressDSP(TM) compliance
testing by Texas Instruments and are available for immediate licensing and
implementation on the TMS320C55x(TM) DSP generation. These technologies
comprise the most comprehensive suite of music enhancement technologies that
are available on both the power-efficient TI TMS320C55x(TM) and the TI
TMS320C54x(TM) DSP generations for portable and home entertainment devices.

Spatializer OntheGoFX(TM) is targeted specifically for portable digital
audio players, including Personal Data Assistants (PDAs), cell phones and
Internet appliances. This is a comprehensive audio enhancement software
solution based on the company's Spatializer(R) 3-D Stereo algorithm for
speakers, a two-channel version of its new Spatializer Natural Headphone(TM),
and Spatializer Vi.B.E(TM), the company's virtual bass enhancement technology,
combined with additional audio effects optimized for portable product
applications. This combination of complementary technologies delivers both an
extraordinary audio experience, and provides an easily implemented and cost
effective solution to the challenges posed by frequency response-challenged
speakers and headphones or limitations of fidelity due to miniaturization,
power constraints or compressed digital audio files. The scalable
architecture allows maximum flexibility, requiring only a small fraction of
available MIPS and memory while providing a richer and warmer listening
experience.
Last week, Spatializer announced the first adoption of Spatializer Vi.B.E.
for the portable Internet music market by SANYO Electric Co. Ltd. on their new
SSP-PD10 portable digital audio player.
"Our expanding commitment to the Texas Instruments C55x and C54x DSP
generations are part of our long term strategy to provide easily implemented,
turn-key audio solutions for the emerging array of portable digital audio
devices," said Henry R. Mandell, Chairman and CEO of Spatializer. "We have
put a lot of energy into supporting each successive generation of TI
processors because they provide the combination of performance, price,
functionality and flexibility which makes them the world leader in DSP
technology. Further, the opportunity for marketing and sales collaboration,
which the TI DSP third party program affords us enables unparalleled support
and service to our licensees and TI's customers."
The TI eXpressDSP compliance testing program identifies interoperable
components that comply to the TMS320(TM) DSP Algorithm Standard. Customers
using eXpressDSP-compliant products are assured greater ease of integration in
each stage of the code development cycle.
eXpressDSP Real-Time Software Technology is a premier, open software
environment for Texas Instruments DSPs, consisting of powerful, integrated
development tools, a real-time kernel, standards for application
interoperability and the world's largest DSP third-party network, along with
code generation, simulation and debugging technologies. It is designed to
reduce development time by well above 50 percent, depending on the
application, and to give DSP end-users "make vs. buy" choices for DSP
algorithms, or simply to make it easier to mix and match algorithms they have
developed internally.
"The expansion of Spatializer's library of software for the TI eXpressDSP
program helps validate our strong audio product offering," said Chris
Schairbaum, Internet audio marketing manager, TI. "By designing audio
applications using the eXpressDSP-compliant Spatializer algorithms with our
power-efficient TMS320C54x and TMS320C55x programmable DSPs, OEMs can
differentiate their products more easily while offering consumers an enhanced
audio experience."
