The products are compatible with third-party applications which incorporate audio in the Silicon Graphics computing environment. Scalable operation provides the ability to control processor loading for audio playback concurrent with other computational tasks. MMMMPPPPEEEEGGGG AAAAuuuuddddiiiioooo CCCCoooommmmpppprrrreeeessssssssiiiioooonnnn EEEEnnnnggggiiiinnnneeee Aware scalable MPEG (Motion Pictures Experts Group) compression software provides advanced psychoacoustic processing for compression of high quality audio (up to 48 kHz sampling rate) in authoring, publishing, and large audio database applications. Real-time operation encodes audio while recording and provides moderate compression ratios. Non-real-time operation invokes advanced psychoacoustic modeling for high compression ratios. Encoding bit-rates range from 32 kbits/second to 448 kbits per second (corresponding to compression ratios as high as 48:1). The software MMMMPPPPEEEEGGGG ddddeeeeccccoooommmmpppprrrreeeessssssssiiiioooonnnn engine is included as a standard feature of the IRIS Digital Media Execution Environment (dmedia_eoe). Standard tools like ssssoooouuuunnnnddddppppllllaaaayyyyeeeerrrr((((1111)))) and mmmmoooovvvviiiieeeeppppllllaaaayyyyeeeerrrr((((1111)))) use this software to play back MPEG audio tracks.

Lossless mode typically reduces storage requirements by 2:1 to 3:1. Near-lossless operation achieves even greater storage savings while retaining a 90 dB signal to noise ratio. Real-time encoding of audio at 8, 11, 16, 22, and 44.1 kHz sampling rates is supported. Scalable encoding and decoding operation provides control of processor loading during playback. Installation of AudioProducer includes Aware's AudioPlayback software. The MultiRate decoder runs in real-time at sampling rates up to 48 kHz. Installation of the decoder enables real-time playback of compressed audio which was encoded with the Aware AudioPublisher or the Aware AudioProducer. Scalable decoding operation provides the ability to control processor loading used for playback, and enables special functions such as fast playback to speed search through compressed audio libraries. The software necessary to perform AAAAwwwwaaaarrrreeee MMMMuuuullllttttiiiiRRRRaaaatttteeee audio compression and playback is included with the standard IRIS Digital Media Execution Environment, however it is locked.
