Embedded application follows on the news of
first global HDTV brand licensing WiSA E software for TV
application
WiSA Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ: WISA), a leading innovator in
wireless audio technology for intelligent devices and
next-generation home entertainment systems, announces the
integration of WiSA E software technology onto the Amlogic S905X4
application processor. This advanced design is tailored for Android
hybrid OTT/IP set-top box and high-end media box applications,
enabling immersive multichannel audio, and marking a significant
departure from costly separate components while expanding
accessibility for wireless audio connectivity to the mass
market.
The Amlogic S905X4 represents a significant milestone in audio
SoCs (system on a chip), as it enables simultaneous video and audio
decoding while seamlessly supporting external applications running
in the background. This revolutionary advancement, combined with
operating systems like Android which ensure perfect synchronization
of video and audio, provides consumers with a flexible and highly
integrated audio experience.
Systems that embed WiSA E software are also able to take
advantage of WiSA Connect, a pivotal part of the product solution.
WiSA Connect offers a common API interface with low overhead to any
SoC, enabling flexibility in scaling and forming an integral part
of delivering an interoperable ecosystem for TVs, Set-Top Boxes,
Mobile devices, and WiSA E-enabled speakers.
WiSA E, with its robust capabilities over Wi-Fi, surpasses
Bluetooth and other wireless protocols in various aspects:
- Intelligence with WiSA Connect: Unlike Bluetooth, WiSA E
includes intelligence in the form of "WiSA Connect," a server that
manages the network on the local SoC/OS over standard Wi-Fi,
significantly reducing integration costs.
- Multichannel Solution: While Bluetooth is limited to
stereo on Android, WiSA E offers a multichannel solution.
- Simplified User Experience: WiSA E simplifies the user
experience, allowing WiSA E speakers to play audio from different
Android devices and switch instantly with a push of a button.
- Robustness and Scalability: WiSA E operates in the
2.4GHz or 5GHz spectrum and can easily scale with the latest Wi-Fi
standards/SoCs to 6GHz and beyond, providing better robustness with
more audio channels.
- Cable-Free Convenience: WiSA E eliminates the need for
unsightly HDMI or optical cables, particularly beneficial when TVs
are wall-mounted.
- Future-Proof Technology: WiSA E is designed to evolve
with advancements in audio technology. This futureproofing ensures
that users can enjoy the benefits of the latest audio innovations
without needing to replace their entire audio system.
"The key to this revolutionary audio experience lies in WiSA E's
ability to adapt, connect, and deliver exceptional sound quality in
the world of wireless audio,” said Tony Parker, VP of Technical
Marketing and Strategy. “Imagine the versatility of listening to
your TV/STB WiSA E speakers then instantly being able to change
audio sources to your Android phone for a video call or YouTube
video. This is the kind of versatility that consumers are
demanding.”
The global Android TV box market size represents a fast-growing
segment of the home entertainment market. Business Research
Insights shows the market size in 2021 at $5.3 billion and projects
the market to grow to $44.7 billion by 2031, representing a CAGR of
23.7% for the forecast period.
