Ittiam and e.Digital are working really tight...IMO...Ittiam is developing encoders and decoders capable of a non homonymous file delivery...as I spoke of way backkkkkk.
It`s all in the mixing valve and the way files are delivered to it....Ittiam is following e.Digitals lead....and creating the IP.
The more companies that have a piece of the puzzle the faster this thing will come to the surfice.
IMO e.Digital does not care about the IP....they just want to get the sub structure to the surface.
If that character had to be in touch with e.Digital many times for the implementation procedure of the audio....there`s a speciality to the chip... it`s not an off the shelf item....it had to blend.
