Digital Voice Systems AMBE-3000 HDK Brochure & Specs

Digital Voice Systems, Inc.
The Speech Compression Specialists
The Digital Voice Systems, Inc. (DVSI) AMBE-3000™ HDK is a
comprehensive, evaluation, test and development platform
that helps product designers and manufacturing engineers gain
experience with low-bit-rate vocoders. Based on the AMBE-
3000™ series vocoder chips the HDK is the ideal reference design
for evaluation and test of DVSI's vocoder performance. This
multipurpose vocoder tool enables users to explore the
capabilities and benefits of the AMBE-3000™ low-bit-rate
vocoder in real-time without investing in large amounts of
engineering time and hardware prototypes.
The AMBE-3000™ HDK gives engineers the insight required to
efficiently develop their own high performance low-bit-rate
narrowband communication systems. The AMBE-3000™ HDK
specifically uses inexpensive widely available circuit
components with easily attainable development tools so that
designers can understand how to ultimately produce low cost
products with a quick time to market.
The heart of AMBE-3000™ HDK is DVSI's patented AMBE+2™ Voice
Compression technology. Embedded in the AMBE-3000™
vocoder chip this voice compression is an affordable and power
efficient vocoder solution that provides exceptional voice
quality at bit rates from 2000 to 9600 bps. Forward Error
Correction (FEC) is included to optimize robustness to
background noise and channel bit errors. Also, the AMBE-3000™
vocoder chip includes a number of advanced features such as:
