A Fully Integrated Software Architecture for Managing Vehicle Acoustics
QNX AMP enables automakers to design and manage the total sonic experience in their cars with a pure software solution designed to run on both general-purpose application processor cores and DSPs. Because of this flexible design QNX AMP can save bill-of-material costs and time to production while enabling new features and uncompromising sound quality.
The QNX Acoustics Management Platform can provide an estimated 17.4% cost savings and an estimated 6.0% mass savings per automotive audio system.*
*Comparison based on a single 5-door compact car model with engine sound enhancement and a 10-speaker premium branded audio system. Cost and mass savings may vary.
QNX LiveAMP
QNX® LiveAMP is a PC-based graphical tool for tuning, diagnosis, configuration, and analysis of the QNX AMP. Adjust all system parameters, injection and streaming signals and vehicle data at multiple tap-points in the system in real time. Support automated tuning including QNX® Compact Head and Torso Simulator (CHATS). Monitor using device-under-test and reference microphones and generate real-time spectral displays and configuration files. The tool also offers offline sound design for QNX® Active Sound Design (ASD).
