SPARK Microsystems Shows Way-Forward for Wireless Audio Over UWB

SPARK Microsystems, a Canadian fabless semiconductor company specializing in next-generation ultra-wideband (UWB), has recently teamed up with the UWB Alliance, the international non-profit organization dedicated to the promotion and growth of UWB, in a joint effort to test the coexistence and aggregation capabilities of the technology in environments where other UWB or other wireless protocols and radio devices are in use. And wireless audio is among the most promising applications that SPARK Microsystems is testing over UWB.

The Standards We Need: Do Audio Technologies Matter in the Smart Home?

Matter is an industry-unifying standard for the Smart Home that promises reliable, secure connectivity — a seal of approval that devices will work seamlessly together. But... Do audio technologies matter in the Smart Home? The audio industry needs to get involved in this convergence and interoperability effort. After all, we can already tell a speaker to play a song - thanks to voice recognition technology, AI, and wireless networks - but we still don’t have a transparent wireless audio standard to stream audio to speakers or headphones because basically audio remains restricted by specifications that were not written with audio in mind.

MPEG-H Audio Selected as the Sole Mandatory Audio System for Next-Generation TV 3.0 Broadcast Service in Brazil

The Brazilian SBTVD Forum (Brazil's digital TV technical coordination entity) recently finalized the technical evaluation phase of its TV 3.0 Project for the definition of the next-generation television system in Brazil. It comprised a detailed technical evaluation of all proposed technologies. As a result, the MPEG-H Audio system was selected as the sole mandatory audio codec for the future Brazilian broadcast system. Fraunhofer IIS supported the SBTVD Forum in the testing and evaluation process.
