Jan 12, 2009 (Close-Up Media via COMTEX) --
CSR has launched BC5120, the company's latest Bluetooth device optimized for consumer electronics.
CSR's BC5120, together with BlueCore Session Manager (BCSM) software, provides an integration solution for digital TVs, hi-fis, DVD players handheld games consoles and other consumer products. The BC5120, combined with BCSM software, enables a fast time to market for integrating Bluetooth connectivity into consumer products: A typical design takes a matter of weeks thus saving development costs, according to CSR.
Demand for Bluetooth connectivity in consumer electronic products such as hi-fis and DTVs continues to grow, as does its application in handheld games consoles. Initial consumer application areas for Bluetooth in this market include music streaming to stereo headphones from digital televisions and hi-fis and streaming music to hi-fis and DTVs from Bluetooth MP3 player and music phones. Once Bluetooth is in the hi-fi or DTV then functionality can extend to Bluetooth enabled remote controls with two way communication, and even the ability to act as a hands free device and answer calls in speaker-phone mode from Bluetooth enabled mobile phones.
Karen Parnell, Marketing Manager in CSR's Audio and Connectivity Business Unit said, "BC5120 with BCSM provides consumer electronics designers with a solution designed with their needs in mind: a cost effective, easy to implement solution for integrating Bluetooth.
