Overview
Features and Benefits
- Reconfigure Control Input: Configurable input and output gains between frames. Slew of gains for smooth output Variable Stride for both input and output
- Slew: When gain controls or the channel mask settings are changed then it would result in a glitch in the output. To prevent this, slewing is done where the effect of changing these settings is seen gradually instead of a sudden spike
- Channel Mask: Sometimes when an input channel decides to leave the conference or suddenly tries to contribute to the mixing, then it is gradually removed or included respectively in the mixing process.
- Conference Mixing : Provision to exclude respective input channel from the mixer output
- Error Codes : Informs the application about the insufficient memory condition, when sufficient memory is not available for mixing process. Reports up to 4 other unique high level error codes
- Target Processors: BF518, BF527, BF533 and BF561. Code compatible across the Blackfin processor family
- Framework Dependencies: None
- Release format: Object code module with C interface
- Input: 16bit PCM channels
- Output: 16 bit PCM channels
- Output Buffer Size (max) : 4096 Bytes
- Sampling Rate: 8000 Hz
- Multi-instance: Yes
Product Details
The Audio Mixer has been designed and optimized to run on the Analog Devices’ Blackfin processor family. It is a self-contained software module that can be used directly for VoIP applications. It has been rigorously tested for various combinations.
It contains a standard C-callable API. The code has been implemented using Instruction and Data cache and has no dependencies on processor peripherals or registers. This makes system integration much easier.
Licensing
Each module supports the Analog Devices, Inc. (ADI) Blackfin or SHARC Processor family and is a licensed product that is available in object code format. Recipients must sign or accept a license agreement with ADI prior to being shipped or downloading the modules identified in the license agreement.
