Business Wire
Today DTS, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of entertainment
technology company Xperi Inc. (NYSE: XPER), which creates
extraordinary experiences, announced the official launch of
immersive audio support for DTS Play-Fi® Home Theater, the only
whole-home wireless solution to support 12 channels of discrete
sound, for a higher-fidelity listening experience. Originally
launched in 2021 with support for 5.1 surround sound, this latest
update enables playback of immersive sound formats like DTS:X,
Dolby Atmos and IMAX Enhanced from DTS Play-Fi compatible TVs to
discrete speaker layouts, up to 7.2.4. DTS Play-Fi Home Theater
eliminates the need for unsightly wiring, TV dongles, and AV
receivers by re-using the Wi-Fi radio built into every smart
TV.
“Whether for movies or music, everyday consumers have had to
settle for less than what today’s latest immersive audio formats
fully have to offer, limited by the impracticality of wires, bulky
electronics, and inconvenient speaker placement,” said Dannie Lau,
general manager, DTS Play-Fi. “DTS Play-Fi Home Theater brings
high-fidelity immersive sound to the masses featuring wireless
convenience, flexible speaker layouts, a range of in-market
products, and enveloping sound with 12 discrete channels of audio.
Play-Fi is the new benchmark for truly immersive wireless
sound.”
DTS Play-Fi Home Theater recreates an incredible immersive
listening experience, today with up to 12 discrete channels of
audio, all over standard Wi-Fi. Key features include:
- Customizable home theater configurations from the simple, like
a wireless soundbar connection, to the truly immersive with
discrete speakers, surrounds, and subwoofers, supporting layouts up
to 7.2.4
- Option to use the TV’s internal speakers as part of a DTS
Play-Fi Home Theater system
- Support for all immersive and surround sound formats including
DTS:X, Dolby Atmos and IMAX Enhanced
- Works with all TV video sources including wired inputs (e.g.
HDMI), on-board streaming apps, and wireless streaming protocols
like AirPlay and Chromecast
- Capability to mix-and-match DTS Play-Fi compatible soundbars,
speakers, subwoofers, and amplifiers, regardless of brand
- Technology-agnostic streaming solution that works across
various TV operating systems and leading TV system-on-chip
solutions
- Utilizes the same Wi-Fi radio already built into the smart TV;
no additional hardware is required
TPV will be the first partner to launch the latest DTS Play-Fi
Home Theater enhancements on select 2023 Philips TVs, which are
expected to be released in the coming year. All DTS Play-Fi
compatible TVs offer an extensive array of whole-home capabilities
including multi-room music and TV playback, portable and private
listening, and compatibility with top music services from around
the world via the DTS Play-Fi mobile app.
“Every great home theater system combines two things: the best
possible picture quality and true-to-life sound,” said Diederik
Houtman, head of product management at TPV Europe. “DTS Play-Fi’s
industry-leading technology lets consumers do just that by
wirelessly connecting Philips award-winning TVs with DTS Play-Fi
compatible soundbars, speakers, and subwoofers to deliver the
ultimate immersive home cinema experience.”
