Audio Noise Reduction Andrea

DSDA is a sophisticated and robust noise-cancellation solution developed to bring a new level of clarity to voice communication applications with superior audio noise reduction. A patented system approach of array microphone adaptive beam forming, the digital technology enables optimal performance of far-field voice input by centering microphone sensitivity on the user’s voice and canceling noise outside of the pick-up cone.

Patented Direction Finding and Tracking Array (DFTA™) technology utilizes an array of microphones and a unique algorithm to detect the presence of a user’s voice, determine the direction of the voice and follow and track it when it moves. In a videoconferencing setting, this unique technology can provide direction to a videoconferencing camera and allow the system to steer and concentrate on the speaker, thus providing a “video-follow-audio” capability.
