2024 Hisense TV Demonstrates Ease of
Implementing Onboard High-Quality Multichannel Wireless Audio
WiSA Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ: WISA), a leading innovator in
wireless audio technology for intelligent devices and
next-generation home entertainment systems, announces the world’s
first demonstration of WiSA E software embedded into an HDTV. With
WiSA E embedded multichannel wireless audio capabilities, HDTVs can
connect to external soundbars and speakers without the need for an
HDMI cable and are no longer limited by the typically low quality
of internal TV speakers.
"We are proud to demonstrate the future of how audio will be
delivered from TVs,” said Tony Parker, vice president of technical
marketing and strategy. “Embedding WiSA E onto TV platforms brings
cost-effective, cable-free, high-quality multichannel audio
capabilities to any TV, regardless of room application, audio
decode or price point.”
Implemented on a Hisense Android TV, the demonstration
highlights how WiSA E is versatile software and agnostic to the TV
SoC platform. Key highlights of the CES demonstration include:
Dramatically reduces soundbar costs:
By embedding WiSA E software onto the TV, WiSA E eliminates the
need for the soundbar to process the audio decoding and wired
connections to the TV. This saves the cost of an SoC, royalty
payments, and HDMI and optical cables.
2.1 Cable-free soundbar reference
design: WiSA will showcase a 2.1 soundbar solution for Android
TV and Android cell phone as interchangeable sources, capable of
streaming different video quality audio content directly to WiSA
E-enabled speakers with the TV on or off.
Support for all speaker types: WiSA E
interoperates with all speaker types, including surround,
subwoofer, up-firing, soundbars, and smart speakers. Additionally,
the WiSA module for speakers supports multichannel audio out (up to
three audio channels).
Common software integration platform:
WiSA provides a common software integration platform for TVs,
Android devices, and speaker brands, ensuring seamless
interoperability. WiSA E for Android and WiSA Connect (intelligent
background event handler) combine to manage wireless audio
transport over standard Wi-Fi, connected clients (e.g., cell
phones, tablets), system notifications (e.g., volume), and software
updates.
Future-Proof Technology: WiSA E is
designed as a future-proof technology, evolving with advancements
in audio technology. Users can enjoy the benefits of the latest
audio innovations without needing to replace their entire audio
system. Use cases such as headphones for hearing impaired,
additional audio channels, and higher performance are all on WiSA
Technologies’ roadmap. Learn more at CES.
