With audio this good, it's no wonder Telos chose aacPlus for Zephyr Xport,  the new POTS+ISDN portable remote codec that's getting rave reviews from users. aacPlus (also known as "High Efficiency MPEG AAC") melds Spectral Band Replication with MPEG AAC, resulting in truly stunning audio fidelity at bit rates never thought possible before. In tests conducted by the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) comparing a variety of codecs at several bit rates, they declared aacPlus as the clear winner, significantly outperforming proprietary competitors and improving over other standards; studies conducted by DRM and MPEG confirmed that aacPlus is ideally suited for low bit rates. aacPlus has been chosen for use by XM Satellite Radio and Digital Radio Mondiale, will soon be in 2.4G and 3G audio applications deployed by Matsushita and NEC, and has been implemented in the latest version of Ahead Software's Nero CD-R software.


I though nero have its own implementation of HE-AAC ? and Coding Technologies AAC HE got SBR thing not compatible with current aac encoders and decoders. I'm a little bit confused about all this.....

aacPlus is just the trademark used by CodingTechnologies to refer to its HE AAC implementation. The technology's official name is indeed HE AAC.

And yes, Nero has its own implementation, it is not CodingTechnologies'.

it seems to me that the terms AACplus™ is more pupular to mainstream public/big fat corp than the terms HE-AAC...and I bet there are people who mail their requests Ahead to support AACplus™ wink.gif
