Philips TVs receive Play-Fi Immersive Home
Theater update, allowing consumers to experience wireless spatial
audio
At CES 2024, DTS, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Xperi Inc.
(NYSE: XPER), will demonstrate its commitment to connecting
consumers to powerful and immersive entertainment through its
award-winning technology, DTS Play-Fi®.
DTS and Xperi are focused on delivering exceptional
entertainment through sight and sound by pioneering immersive audio
technologies for home theater systems, automobiles, mobile devices
and beyond. Over the past year, DTS has made major progress in
adding new partners to its Play-Fi ecosystem allowing consumers
more ways to access the content they want from major music
platforms and popular streaming services. DTS’s inventive
technologies integrate seamlessly with our partners’ products to
elevate the listening experience in a way that feels more
intuitive, immersive and personal.
Elevating the Immersive Home Theater Experience
An honoree of the 2024 CES Innovation Award in the Content and
Entertainment category, DTS Play-Fi Immersive Home Theater is the
only whole-home wireless solution to support up to 12 channels of
distinct sound for higher-fidelity listening. Playback of immersive
sound formats like DTS:X, Dolby Atmos and IMAX Enhanced from DTS
Play-Fi compatible TVs is supported for discrete speaker layouts,
up to 7.2.4 channels. This first-of-its-kind surround sound
eliminates the need for wires, TV dongles and AV receivers, further
simplifying and improving the home entertainment experience.
“In a recent consumer survey from DTS Play-Fi, respondents were
more likely to consider purchasing a TV if it supported wireless
surround sound speakers or if it could be used as part of a
whole-home music system,” said Dannie Lau, general manager, DTS
Play-Fi. “DTS Play-Fi enables both multi-room music playback and
wireless surround sound by connecting TVs and speakers together
using the same Wi-Fi radios already built into today’s smart TVs
and connected speakers.”
DTS Play-Fi has expanded support into the smart TV ecosystem,
allowing OEMs to easily adopt and power the wireless home
entertainment experience. By working directly with leading TV OEMs
and system-on-chip (SoC) manufacturers, Play-Fi is making it easy
to quickly and seamlessly add wireless technology into smart TVs.
Over the past year, Play-Fi has been deployed on AndroidTV,
GoogleTV, VidaaOS, TitanOS, other widely used TV OEM operating
systems, and on a variety of TV SOC platforms.
More Play-Fi TVs Coming to Market
TP Vision has updated select Philips TV models with Play-Fi
Immersive Home Theater, becoming the first TVs to directly support
wireless immersive audio playback over Wi-Fi. Included in this
update are the OLED708, OLED808, and OLED+908 lines of OLED TVs,
“The Xtra” lines of mini-LED TVs, and “The One” TV line.
