Group Leader - Audio System Testing
The Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft is one of the world's leading organizations for application-oriented research. 32,000 people from technology, science, administration and IT. As the largest institute of the Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft, we conduct research and development in close cooperation with our clients on a wide range of topics. Our » Embedded Audio Systems « group develops, among other things, device-level test procedures for the MPEG-H 3D Audio Codec, which enables enveloping 3D sound and interactivity. In particular, the interaction of the various devices via HDMI/ARC/eARC and the correct synchronization between audio and video are also tested. For this purpose, special test methods were developed to verify the HDMI ARC/eARC-based transmission between STBs, TV sets and soundbars or AVRs and to measure the timing for audio and video. To ensure functionality throughout the entire transmission chain, our group maintains a laboratory with commercial transmitters and receivers, which are also used for demonstrations and test operations.
