About IVAS
Immersive Voice and Audio Services (IVAS) is the new EVS-based communication codec currently being standardized by the 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP). It enables a lifelike spatial acoustic experience, for example in conference calls and video conferences. As a conversational stereo and immersive codec, it can process signals captured by various microphone configurations in different conversational scenarios. Just like EVS, IVAS is a mobile communication codec and can therefore operate at bitrates as low as 13.2 or 24.4 kbit/s and with a very low latency.
