1. INTRODUCTION |
|
The Fraunhofer FDK AAC Codec Library for Android ("FDK AAC Codec") is software |
|
that implements the MPEG Advanced Audio Coding ("AAC") encoding and decoding |
|
scheme for digital audio. This FDK AAC Codec software is intended to be used on |
|
a wide variety of Android devices. |
|
|
|
AAC's HE-AAC and HE-AAC v2 versions are regarded as today's most efficient |
|
general perceptual audio codecs. AAC-ELD is considered the best-performing |
|
full-bandwidth communications codec by independent studies and is widely |
|
deployed. AAC has been standardized by ISO and IEC as part of the MPEG |
|
specifications. |
|
|
|
Patent licenses for necessary patent claims for the FDK AAC Codec (including |
|
those of Fraunhofer) may be obtained through Via Licensing |
|
(www.vialicensing.com) or through the respective patent owners individually for |
|
the purpose of encoding or decoding bit streams in products that are compliant |
|
with the ISO/IEC MPEG audio standards. Please note that most manufacturers of |
|
Android devices already license these patent claims through Via Licensing or |
|
directly from the patent owners, and therefore FDK AAC Codec software may |
|
already be covered under those patent licenses when it is used for those |
|
licensed purposes only. |
|
|
|
Commercially-licensed AAC software libraries, including floating-point versions |
|
with enhanced sound quality, are also available from Fraunhofer. Users are |
|
encouraged to check the Fraunhofer website for additional applications |
|
information and documentation. |
