DTS and Lenovo Bring High-Definition Audio Experience to Smart TVs
May 13 2012 - 7:00PM
Business Wire
DTS, Inc. (Nasdaq:DTSI), a leader in high-definition audio,
today announced that international personal technology company
Lenovo has integrated high-performance DTS audio into its K91 smart
TV. The collaboration enhances the consumer entertainment
experience, offering consumers in China an immersive home theater
audio experience.
“The K91 smart TV is a state of the art consumer electronics
device which integrates the most sophisticated technologies,”
remarked Xiong Wen, the general manager of Lenovo’s Digital Home
Group. “As such, it was a natural choice to include DTS audio
technology to ensure the home entertainment experience is as
lifelike and engaging as possible. DTS’ technology takes the K91
smart TV to the next level and elevates the overall entertainment
experience with the addition of high-definition sound.”
The K91 smart TV is the world’s first smart TV powered by
Qualcomm’s 1.5GHz dual-core 8060 Snapdragon CPU and operated by the
Android 4.0 system. It also incorporates DTS 2.0 + Digital Out™
technology, which means it can decode DTS-encoded content from a
USB port for two-channel stereo playback directly from the smart
TV, turning the device’s three major functions—Video On Demand
(VOD), Internet applications and traditional TV programs—into a
full-service home entertainment center that delivers a
high-performance audio experience. DTS Digital Out is compatible
with external devices, such as an AV receiver or home theater
system, which sends out a multi-channel DTS stream for immersive
surround sound playback. It also complements the K91 smart TV’s
cloud support—allowing consumers to access their favorite songs and
videos, share files between connected devices, and control the TV
via tablet and smartphone.
“In our efforts to provide high quality audio experiences to
consumers, DTS is partnering with Lenovo,” said Brian Towne,
executive vice president and chief operating officer of DTS, Inc.
“Whether the consumer is listening to web content, their digital
library or broadcast programing, our goal is to provide
unprecedented sound clarity to users worldwide, on any consumer
electronics device.”
Roy Law, DTS’ president of the Greater China Region, added, “DTS
technology is now present in China’s top five TV brands and
products from international industry leaders. This feature further
ensures widespread access to a superior audio experience in
consumers’ living rooms.”
