are “must have” for virtually any full-duplex,
hands-free voice communication system. It
also includes control blocks adding flexibility
and ease of system debugging, testing and
acoustic tuning. Add-on blocks include
technologies providing additional benefits to
end users.
Development and Tuning
Tools: VCP Configurator
VCP Configurator is a PC Windows
graphical application allowing controlling
VCP functionality. All VCP blocks and their
parameters are shown according to their real
position in the signal processing chains. All
parameters are provided with short prompts
as well as detailed help. VCP configurator
generates an acoustic profile structure that can
be uploaded into a device under tuning in real
time via UART or other available interface.
Alango Voice
Communication
Package
Voice processing and echo
cancellation
The Alango Voice Communication Package
(VCP) is a suite of digital signal processing
technologies enabling high-quality voice
communication for a variety of applications,
including automotive hands-free, mobile
phones, Bluetooth headsets, audio and
videoconferencing systems, intercom systems
and others. VCP was designed to enable the
highest possible voice quality in various acoustic
environments while consuming relatively low
MIPS and memory resources. VCP provides
natural support for narrowband (8 kHz) and
wideband (16 kHz) speech. For wideband
speech, VCP implements special mechanisms
providing significant reduction of MIPS and
memory requirements compared to doubling
them with the brute-force approach without a
noticeable degradation of output speech quality.
The current seventh VCP generation
accumulates many years of practical Alango
experience to provide a scalable, highly optimized
solution for voice communication applications.
Beyond software DSP technologies, Alango
has developed a unique set of auxiliary software
and hardware tools facilitating development,
debugging, testing, acoustic tuning, problem
identification and reporting.
