Interra Systems' Vega Analyzers to Support Dolby Digital Plus and Dolby TrueHD Technologies.SAN JOSE, Calif. -- Interra Systems, Inc. today announced that it has signed a license agreement with Dolby Laboratories for supporting Dolby[R] Digital Plus and Dolby[R] TrueHD audio technologies in its widely acclaimed Vega family of offline audio/ video analyzers. Interra's Vega family of Analyzers help media professionals analyze and troubleshoot encoded video and audio problems in their products. Vega Analyzers support a wide range of audio and video technologies like H.264, VC1, MPEG (Moving Pictures Experts Group) An ISO/ITU standard for compressing digital video. Pronounced "em-peg," it is the universal standard for digital terrestrial, cable and satellite TV, DVDs and digital video recorders (DVRs). 2 Transport, MPEG4, MPEG2 Video, MP4, Dolby Digital (AC3) and the AAC (Advanced Audio Coding) An audio compression technology that is part of the MPEG-2 and MPEG-4 standards. AAC, especially MPEG-4 AAC, provides greater compression and better sound quality than MP3, which also came out of the MPEG standard. Audio standards. "We first supported Dolby Digital, and now it makes sense for us to commit to Dolby Digital Plus Dolby Digital Plus (DD+), also known as E-AC-3, is an audio compression system that was developed specifically for the introduction of HDTV and HD DVD/Blu-ray Disc. It is a development of the Dolby Digital (AC-3) audio compression system. It supports data rates up to 6. and Dolby TrueHD technologies in our Vega family of offline Analyzers. These leading edge technologies have the potential to open up new business opportunities for Interra and our customers," said Ashish Basu, Vice President, from Interra Systems. "Dolby is excited to work closely with Interra Systems to enhance its Vega family of media analyzers for advanced analysis of encoded audio with Dolby Digital Plus and Dolby TrueHD technologies," said Sabine Bravo, Senior Manager of Professional Licensing at Dolby Laboratories. "We're confident that with these added Dolby technologies, Interra Systems has the right components in its analyzers to help authors ensure high-quality HD content." Built on Dolby Digital technology, the multichannel audio standard for DVD-Video worldwide and for North American high-definition television TV broadcasts, Dolby Digital Plus is a next-generation audio technology for HD programming and media. Dolby TrueHD is a lossless audio technology developed for high-definition disc-based media that delivers sound that is bit-for-bit identical to the studio master. About Interra Systems Interra Systems, Inc. is a leading provider of highly flexible and adaptive design solutions and tools for the acceleration of digital video, memory, ASIC (Application Specific Integrated Circuit) Pronounced "a-sick." A chip that is custom designed for a specific application rather than a general-purpose chip such as a microprocessor. , SoC and system designs. Interra's development capability includes digital video/ audio test tools, codecs, memory development system, EDA (1) (Electronic Design Automation) Using the computer to design, lay out, verify and simulate the performance of electronic circuits on a chip or printed circuit board. tool front-ends, which includes a RTL (Register Transfer Level) A high-level hardware description language (HDL) for defining digital circuits. The circuits are described as a collection of registers, Boolean equations, control logic such as "if-then-else" statements as well as complex event sequences; Synthesis, VHDL (VHSIC Hardware Description Language) A hardware description language (HDL) used to design electronic systems at the component, board and system level. VHDL allows models to be developed at a very high level of abstraction. and Verilog analyzers and test suites. Interra offers a breadth of services for Electronic and Memory Design Automation, and for developing Digital Video applications and DSP (1) (Digital Signal Processor) A special-purpose CPU used for digital signal processing applications (see definition #2 below). It provides ultra-fast instruction sequences, such as shift and add, and multiply and add, which are commonly used in math-intensive solutions.
