"We are very pleased to partner with WiSA Technologies and map WiSA's IP to our SPA300 line of SoCs," says Adam Wang, intelligent devices product center general manager at Sunplus. "As a leader in multimedia processors, it is important for us to offer our soundbar customers the highest quality immersive audio functionality at a cost-effective point. WiSA’s audio software allows us to do just that."
WiSA's multichannel solution for Atmos systems, in conjunction with Sunplus' DSP support, will simplify new product designs while significantly lowering integration costs for Atmos wireless soundbar applications up to 7.1.4 configurations. Using the SPA300 SoC Software Development Kit (SDK), soundbar manufacturers will be able to access the decode protocol and design audio systems that take full advantage of WiSA’s multichannel wireless audio technology.
The airlyra SPA300 is a highly integrated system-on-chip with audio decoder and audio post-processor, composed of a 32-bit RISC microprocessor, an 8-bit I/O processor, 32-bit DSP processor, and embedded DDR memory.
