With TVs getting thinner, the in-device sound quality has become very limited. Users are now using separate sound bar or speakers to get higher audio quality and complexity. With i.MX 8M family, create one-chip solution with flexible SW audio framework (Immersiv3D) to handle audio decode and pre/post processing (supporting Dolby Atmos), latency control, audio distribution and also easy to add voice assistant services (AVS and GVA) with multichannel AEC and beamforming to create an immersive experience.
