USING AEC IN CONFERENCING SOFTWARE
When using a TesiraFORTÉ AI (which does not have AEC processing
available), it is possible to use the AEC processing built into the
conferencing software on the PC. The quality of the AEC processing
in the conferencing software is generally much lower than the AEC
processing in TesiraFORTÉ, therefore this is not a recommended design.
To use the software's AEC, set up the USB blocks such that they don't
disable the computer AEC. You can do this by configuring the USB
blocks in the "Speakerphone: Enables Computer AEC" mode.
WHY BIAMP’S AEC IS BETTER THAN THE CONFERENCING
SOFTWARE’S AEC
When participating in a conference, AEC processing is essential. This
processing ensures that the far end conferencing participants don't
hear their own echo when they speak. Both TesiraFORTÉ and most
conferencing software can provide the AEC processing, however, the
AEC processing should only be applied to a signal once. Using the
AEC processing in Tesira is recommended, as it will result in higher
audio quality.
