CRI SOLIDAS enables a wide range of audio devices on a single chip by implementing software‑based audio signal processing on general‑purpose MCUs / FPGAs. Feature 1: Low‑Code Development Audio systems can be developed using an audio system development package, enabling low‑code development. - Standardization: By defining design assets in software, standardization and easy reuse of design know‑how are achieved. - High Flexibility: Using dedicated tools, multiple product variations and component changes can be handled easily on a single hardware platform. Feature 2: Reduced Component Count Audio processing and audio output functions are implemented in software on a general‑purpose MCU, significantly reducing the number of components. - Multi‑Channel Support: Multiple audio output channels can be implemented using standard MCU ports. - Risk Reduction: A configuration with fewer general‑purpose components reduces procurement and inventory risks. Feature 3: High‑Performance Audio Output An original audio output mechanism, CRI D‑Amp Driver, enables high‑quality audio output with low power consumption. - High Audio Quality: Fully digital output to the speaker reduces factors that cause audio quality degradation. - Low Power Consumption: Achieves approximately half the power consumption compared to conventional amplifiers.

1. Balancing Efficiency and High Quality in Development By utilizing "CRI Glassco," we will promote the division of labor between "design" and "implementation," achieving both efficiency and high quality in graphic development. 2. Production Environment with Authoring Tools Design layouts, movements, and state transitions using "After Effects," and output data with the authoring tool "CRI Cockpit Studio." 3. Implementation of the Graphic Engine By integrating the "CRI Glassco" engine into the hardware, we will enable programming-free HMI development that only requires updating data output from "CRI Cockpit Studio."

Features: - The game engine automatically generates "dynamic creatives." "Aeropoint Signage" is middleware for digital signage equipped with a game engine that controls on-screen movements and touch actions, as well as a high-compression, high-quality video compression engine. By creating screens in PowerPoint(R) and simply specifying them with the Aeropoint add-in (ribbon), anyone can create advertisements ("creatives") that move smoothly like a game. It also supports touch signage, making it easy to create interactive creatives. Other key features: - Even beginners in PowerPoint can easily create creatives with the "Production Guide." - Supports high-definition 4K. - Clear creatives can be created without blurry text.

Feature 1 | High Sound Quality with Full-Digital Architecture This product adopts a fully digital audio output architecture that does not rely on any analog circuitry. Its proprietary output method combined with differential drive technology effectively suppresses noise generated during speaker operation, achieving extremely low noise levels compared to typical Class-D amplifiers. As a result, it delivers high-fidelity, accurate sound reproduction. In particular, distortion is minimized in the low-frequency range, enabling sound reproduction that is closer to the original audio waveform. Feature 2 | Low Power Consumption and Low Heat Generation Compared with conventional Class-D amplifiers, this solution requires approximately half the power consumption to achieve the same sound pressure level. Furthermore, by using GaN FETs (Gallium Nitride FETs) in the H-bridge circuit, power consumption can be reduced by up to 60%. These characteristics provide the following benefits: Extended battery life for battery-powered devices Reduced heat generation Downsizing or elimination of heat sinks This significantly increases design flexibility, especially in compact or sealed products. Feature 3 | Simple Circuit Configuration and Reduced Procurement Risk The external circuitry consists only of an H-bridge circuit (a few transistors and resistors). The system can be built entirely with general-purpose components, enabling: Reduction in component count Lower procurement and inventory risk Reduced implementation cost Additionally, even when components are changed, the system can be adapted simply by switching the middleware, allowing flexible product standardization and design changes.

CRI ADX Automotive is an automotive sound middleware and development support solution that consistently supports all aspects of in-vehicle sound development, from sound design and implementation to sound quality tuning. It streamlines the entire sound development process and enables high-quality sound creation while minimizing the gap between sound specifications and the final output. ■ Sound design on real machines Sound can be designed and adjusted while reproducing sound quality equivalent to the actual production environment from the early development stages. This enables advance verification and reduces rework. ■ Rapid response to vehicle models and regional variations By simply replacing sound source data, sound specifications can be quickly adapted to different vehicle models and regions. Updates can also be applied via OTA (Over-the-Air). ■ Full-digital amplifier technology Unique full-digital amplifiers achieve both low power consumption and high-volume output, contributing to reduced cost and smaller mounting area. ■ Enhanced UX through UI integration In combination with CRI Glassco, synchronized audio and visual expressions enable intuitive in-vehicle UI experiences.
