Product Details

Windows Media Audio professional (WMA10 Pro) decoder is an enhancement to the Windows Media Audio (WMA) standard decoder. It uses the waveform coding concepts of subband/transform coding, quantization, and variable length coding to achieve its compression. To meet higher quality requirements at lower bit rates WMA10 Pro technology employs additional tools like multi channel transformation, LBR etc.WMA10 Pro Decoder adds support for higher sampling rates (96 kHz) and supports 20 and 24 bit audio samples, which is not supported by WMA standard decoder.

Features

Transport Stream: Advanced Streaming Format (ASF)
ASF tags: Support ASF tag field extraction via separate ASF parser including Title, Artist, Genre and album fields; automatic ASF tag truncation based on user defined memory allocation & limits.
Extended Test Vector Testing: Compliant with Microsoft test vector set and additional test vectors with unusual content.
Output Status: Sample rate, average & maximum bit rates etc.
Fast Forward / Rewind: Supported via ASF parser. Decoder API provides all the necessary support for implementing the seek operation.
Error Codes: Reports up to 14 unique high level error codes, such as invalid, or non-supported, streams.
Microsoft® Certification for WMA Pro Decode M0B QL1 implementation for the BlackFin ADSP-BF533 / ADSP-BF527Support for Low Bit Rate(LBR) V1 V2 and V3 stream decoding with full Microsoft compliance.
Support for decoding multichannel streams.
Support for Down-mixing with configurable Down-mixing matrix.
Conformance Standard: Fully compliant to Microsoft conformance specifications. Revision M, Microsoft corporation, June 1, 2008.
Reference Code Revision: 11.5.6000.6428
Certification: WMA Pro Decode M0B QL1 implementation for the BlackFin ADSP-BF533 / ADSP-BF527 by Microsoft®
Framework dependencies: None
Release format: Object code module with C interface.
Input format: Compliant with WMA10.0 standard audio bit streams encapsulated in ASF.
Output format: Supports up to two channels Interleaved/non-interleaved (configurable) 32-bit PCM.
Output buffer samples per block: Variable depending on sampling frequency. Maximum output size is 3008 32-bit PCM samples per channel.
