INTERNATIONAL CONSUMER ELECTRONICS SHOW, LAS VEGAS, Jan. 8, 2004 - New
audio technology, new name.
Intel Corporation's next-generation audio specification, previously
codenamed "Azalia," has a new moniker: "IntelŽ High Definition Audio."
High Definition Audio brings CE-quality audio to the PC. It is
designed to implement a range of audio, modem and communications
functionalities in PCs, handhelds and consumer electronics (CE)
devices. The name High Definition Audio is meant to reflect the
marriage of advanced audio capabilities in PCs and consumer
electronics.
Developed by Intel with broad support from PC and CE manufacturers,
codec vendors, software providers and other industry players, High
Definition Audio is built on a flexible, dynamic, cost-effective and
stable architecture with headroom for future expansion.
"The PC is a versatile platform for digital media and is playing an
increasingly large role in DVD-Audio, streaming music services and
home theater applications" said Intel's Kevin Corbett, vice president
of the Desktop Platforms Group and director of marketing and strategic
planning.
High Definition Audio will not only provide an enriched playback
experience but is intended to deliver a better-quality input for voice
and communication applications. The enablement of higher-quality audio
is attributed in part to an upgraded architecture and increased
bandwidth that allows for 192 kHz, 32-bit, multi-channel audio and
support for evolving high-quality audio formats. Other means are
increased support for multi-channel array microphones for higher
quality input, dynamically allocated bandwidth and audio device
configuration flexibility.
"High Definition Audio elevates PC audio to an authentic home theater
surround sound experience that opens up a whole new world of PC
entertainment possibilities," said Greg Rodehau, Dolby's director of
PC technology marketing. "We are delighted Intel has chosen to
demonstrate the multichannel audio capabilities of High Definition
Audio using Dolby's newest innovation, Dolby Pro Logic IIx*
technology, which delivers the most natural, seamless and immersing
7.1 surround listening experience from any native 2-channel source."
The High Definition Audio specification is currently at the Rev. 0.9
level. Intel expects to release the final specification by midyear
under royalty-free license terms. The technology will also be featured
with the "Grantsdale" chipset scheduled for release in the first half
of 2004.
High Definition Audio architecture is designed on the same
cost-sensitive principles as AC'97 and will allow for an improved
audio usage and stability level for onboard PC audio devices.

PS Sorridi che e' una battuta!

 audio usage and stability level for onboard PC audio devices.
E' questo che mi preoccupa seriamente.
