JPEG XS SDK - Professional Production over IP

JPEG XS is the new ISO/IEC codec for all IP workflows in studio environments, for local video networks and VR/AR applications. JPEG XS allows transferring high-resolution video data over standard Ethernet or other wired connections. The codec is designed to work with limited computing resources. We provide an SDK to easily integrate the functionalities of JPEG XS like ultra low latency and high quality for CPU, GPU or FPGA-based applications.

Live Subtitling

Automatic subtitles for TV and video broadcasts with AI. The Fraunhofer IAIS live subtitling tool transcribes interviews, speeches or other audiovisual recordings in real time, facilitating the production of broadcasts. The tool is used, for example, in the Saxon parliament for live subtitling of debates, as well as in the German public broadcast to subtitle live broadcasts. It can simplify live broadcasts on television or save film producers and streaming providers time-consuming transcription processes.

the volume of a sports commentator. It also provides enhanced accessibility features such as dialogue enhancement and audio description. These features enhance the pristine 3D sound and flexibility that consumers expect from quality services today.
With MPEG-H Audio, next-generation audio is already a reality, as the system has been on the air 24/7 in South Korea since the UHDTV system was launched there in May 2017. In addition to that, is has recently been selected as the only mandatory audio codec of Brazil’s new TV ecosystem, TV 3.0. The system is also used for music streaming, as Sony's immersive 360 Reality Audio format is based on MPEG-H Audio. The immersive music tracks, available from providers such as Amazon Music, Deezer, and TIDAL, can be played on mobile devices (with headphones), soundbars, smart speakers, and in the car.

Understanding TV dialogue better – with MPEG-H Dialog+ technology

Fraunhofer IIS

Most TV stations are quite used to their audience complaining about hard-to-understand dialogue – be it in films, documentaries, sports coverage, and even the news. The matter is not an easy one to solve. Firstly, because the loudness difference between background sound and dialogue is a unique decision made by creators for every piece of content, and secondly, because the “perfect” dialogue loudness is a very personal issue.

The evolution of AI-based technologies and object-based audio (OBA), however, has enabled the creation of technologies such as MPEG-H Dialog+ by Fraunhofer IIS. The technology uses Deep Neural Networks (DNN) to automatically identify the dialogue of existing content, separate it from the background sounds, and remix it with a lowered background level. Using OBA, users can even adapt the dialogue level on their device to meet their personal requirements. MPEG-H Dialog+ contains a deep neural network that performs dialogue separation using training data derived mostly from real-world broadcast content. Dialog+ combines dialogue separation with a unique automatic remixing algorithm, where a global and a time-varying background attenuation can be combined.

MPEG-H Dialog+ is part of the MPEG-H Audio production software, providing all features of an OBA system like advanced user interactivity and personalization. This makes the use of MPEG-H Dialog+ a future-proof decision for broadcasters and content producers as MPEG-H Audio is one of the most advanced Next Generation Audio systems on the market. It has already been chosen as a TV audio standard by countries such as Brazil and South Korea.

Digital Radio

The Fraunhofer IIS software components enable radios to blend automatically between analog FM, digital radio and even Internet streaming when reception quality is poor. This allows for an uninterrupted listening experience – because the handover between

reception sources is barely noticeable to listeners.

From low-end kitchen radios to high-end car radios with multi-antenna systems: With our flexible software components for different markets and vehicle classes we guarantee independent audio and data reception with the best quality and reception performance. Furthermore, the software components offer additional services such as images, text messages and other additional information for an enhanced user experience.
