Intercom Module for Hands-free Communication

Thanks to patented algorithms for acoustic echo cancellation (AEC) and noise reduction (NR), the vicCOM 2 audio processing modules enable excellent audio quality and speech intelligibility at the highest level – even under difficult environmental conditions.

The modules can be integrated as a component into customer-specific layouts or into existing devices. The scope of delivery includes signal processing software and analog audio connections.

Product Features

Software:

- Acoustic echo cancellation and line echo cancellation up to 40 dB

- Acoustic echo suppression

- Noise reduction

- Intelligent loss control

- Signal conditioning for microphone and loudspeaker (compressor, limiter, noise gate, equaliser, notch filter)

- Level adjustment to signal sources and sinks

- Management of different parameter sets

- ASCII and binary protocol for setting parameters at runtime

- Multimedia bandwidth with sampling frequency up to 16 kHz

- Playback and management of audio files (e. g. ring tones) up to a total playing time of approximately 230 s

- Software can be updated

Hardware:

- Circuit board with edge contacts

- Small dimensions (60 x 30 x 4 mm)

- Extended temperatur range (- 40 up to 85 degrees Celsius)

- Pin-compatible to vicCOM of the first generation

- Easy integration in existing systems (analog signal sources and sinks)

- Microphone input can be used as line input

Areas of Application

- Intercom, building and factory communication

- Hands-free kits for cars and commercial vehicles

- Conference systems

Since 2001, voice INTER connect GmbH has been successfully active in the fields of signal processing and voice communication. As development partner and technology supplier for customers from all over Europe we offer solutions for voice control, beamforming with microphone arrays, intercom products and Voice-over-IP (VoIP)-based communication devices. Our products and services cover a wide range of applications:

Local (embedded) and cloud-based speech control, speech dialog systems
Hands-free communication and mulitmedia in private and commercial vehicles
Communication systems for industrial communication, emergency telephones, elevators, hospitals based on various transmission media (analogue, VoIP, GSM, radio)
Nuance speech synthesis solutions

The most important topics in which we can support you are:

Embedded software development: audio processing, development of Voice-over-IP (VoIP) gateways based on embedded Linux, integration of SIP/RTP/RTCP protocol stack, development and integration of network protocols (TCP/IP, UDP, VoIP), system integration, firmware and driver development for RTOS (VDK, micrium, Linux), BSP adaptation and deployment, platforms: iMX6 and generally various ARM derivatives, Analog Devices SHARC and Blackfin, TI OMAP, x86
Intercom solutions: robust, full-duplex software solutions for the intercom sector (2-wire, 4-wire or IP), in particular for industrial intercom systems, call systems and door communication, BUS-based intercom systems
Speech processing (voice control, speech synthesis, speech dialog development): Integration of NUANCE Vocon and Vocalizer, integration of Amazon Alexa or Google Home Voice Services, analysis of audio streams and automatic classification, semantic processing and evaluation, speech synthesis / Text-to-Speech (TTS) for public transport and ELA systems, Automatic Noise Reduction (ANR) or Noise Cancelling, fully VDA-compliant echo cancellation (AEC, G. 167 - Acoustic echo cancellation), robust beamforming and microphone arrays for speech acquisition in reverberated or particularly disturbed environments, far-field /distant voice acquisition, voice activity detection (VAD)
Audio measurements / acoustic measurements: for hands-free kits and communication systems, acoustic evaluation and optimisation of communication products, acoustics laboratory and mobile measurement systems, speech intelligibility measurements (RASTI / STIPA)
Development of electronics: analog and mixed-signal circuit design, layout design (altium), prototyping – DSP modules (Blackfin, SHARC)
Development of signal processing solutions and machine learning solutions based on deep neural networks and AI-based signal classifiers using standardized frameworks such as Tensorflow or Caffe

In addition, we offer the following products for our industrial customers:

vicCOM product family: intercom modules and system kits for hands-free communication and noise reduction in devices
vicCONTROL product family: voice control for technical devices, as extension board (vicCONTROL stamp) for devices or as embedded voice control for industrial applications (vicCONTROL industrial), development kit vicCONTROL DSP 3 allows the individual configuration of dialogs using a designer tool
vicMEDIA: VoIP / SIP framework for voice and media communication
vicMSES: algorithms for beamforming and noise localization
vicHSES: algorithms for speech enhancement, acoustic echo cancellation and noise reduction
vicDIVA: far field / distand voice acquisition for robust speech signal capturing in the room

We are also a distribution partner of Nuance and offer comprehensive services for the integration and adaptation of „Vocalizer Expressive“ speech synthesis, in particular for automatic announcement and information systems as high-quality and flexible audio output for the reproduction of information.
