[January 07, 2009] TrueWireless Stereo software development kit introduced by CSR Tweet (Worldwide Computer Products News Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) CSR (LSE:CSR), a provider of personal wireless technology, announced on Tuesday (6 January) the launch of TrueWireless Stereo, a new software development kit for high-end Bluetooth stereo headphones and speakers. The company said that TrueWireless Stereo, based on its blueCore5-Multimedia platform, enables manufacturers to quickly bring innovative Bluetooth products for stereo headsets and speakers to market. The development kit is based on the use of two Bluetooth devices, one as the master and the other as the slave. The call handling and control are supported on the master device, which relays the audio stream to the slave headset, allowing the product to work with any existing A2DP device already on the market. Audio is streamed from the audio source to the master unit and is relayed to the slave using CSR's synchronisation protocol. In addition, the development kit features the company's audio enhancement technologies, including Clear Voice Capture (CVC) for improved audio quality through a microphone and clearer audio through the earpiece through noise cancellation. TrueWireless stereo also supports Bluetooth version 2.1 + EDR along with sub-band coding or MP3 audio file formats, CSR said. The company will be giving demonstrations of TrueWireless Stereo at CES Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, USA, on 8-11 January, 2009. No pricing details were disclosed.
