Fraunhofer USA
Fraunhofer USA Digital Media Technologies DMT promotes and supports the audio and media technologies of Fraunhofer IIS in the United States.
When it comes to advanced audio and video technologies for the rapidly evolving media world, the Fraunhofer Institute for Integrated Circuits IIS stands alone. Spanning from the creation of mp3, the co-development of AAC audio standard, and the EVS 5G Voice Codec , Fraunhofer IIS' Audio and Media Technologies division has been an innovator in sound and vision for over 35 years.
Today, audio technologies such as Fraunhofer NESC for D2D Satellite Communication, Fraunhofer Symphoria® for automotive 3D audio, IVAS for immersive telephone calls, xHE-AAC for streaming and digital radio, and the MPEG-H TV Audio System, that allows television viewers to adjust dialogue volume to suit their personal preferences, are among the division’s most compelling new developments.
In addition, Fraunhofer has developed new image coding systems based on JPEG2000 and JPEG XS.
