Open Interface North America to Demonstrate Industry First Bluetooth(R) Audio and Video Solutions at CES.The Seattle Company Offers Two Locations to Experience Demonstrations of Its Industry Leading Audio and Video Solutions for Bluetooth-Enabled Devices SEATTLE -- Open Interface North America Open Interface North America OINA) is a privately owned embedded Bluetooth software provider based in Seattle, Washington and was founded in 2000. The company is known for highly efficient, scalable, portable and quality audio software. , an industry leading provider of Bluetooth[R] wireless applications, will offer three dynamic demonstrations of its Bluetooth[R] audio and video solutions in two locations at the 2007 Consumer Electronics Show, Jan. 8-11, 2007, in Las Vegas Las Vegas (läs vā`gəs), city (1990 pop. 258,295), seat of Clark co., S Nev.; inc. 1911. It is the largest city in Nevada and the center of one of the fastest-growing urban areas in the United States. . Using its proprietary SOUNDabout[R] Suite, Open Interface will introduce the industry's first demonstration of multi-cast audio streaming See streaming audio. using Bluetooth 2.0+EDR (Enhanced Data Rate) An acronym occasionally used to reflect an advancement in transmission or transfer speed. For example, Bluetooth 2.0 + EDR provides a dramatic increase in speed over the previous version. See Bluetooth. . In addition, Open Interface will show BLUEtusk[TM], the first ever demonstration of high-definition (HD) video streaming See streaming video and video stream. over Bluetooth + Ultra-Wideband (UWB (Ultra-WideBand) A wireless technology that uses less power and provides higher speed than 802.11 Wi-Fi networks or first-generation Bluetooth products. UWB is expected to provide wireless video transmission for home theater systems, cable TV, auto safety and ). Attendees can take advantage of these three demonstrations: Multi-Cast Bluetooth Headphones Head-mounted speakers. Headphones have a strap that rests on top of the head, positioning a pair of speakers over both ears. For listening to music or monitoring live performances and audio tracks, both left and right channels are required. Learn how Open Interface technology enables a single stereo audio source to transmit to two Bluetooth wireless stereo headphones with no reduction in audio quality or increase in latency. We've all seen two teenagers tethered Attached to a data or power source by wire or fiber. Contrast with untethered. together by a single headphone See headphones. with the left channel ear-bud in one person's ear and the right channel ear-bud in the other's. Now imagine the same two teenagers bouncing together to the oontz-oontz-oontz of their favorite track while each wears her own set of Bluetooth stereo headphones and sits in different seats of a car or bus. Wireless 2.1 Surround Sound An audio recording and playback system that uses five or more channels plus a subwoofer channel. See 5.1 channel and 3D audio. Using Bluetooth Technology Tired of the miles of wires necessary for your home entertainment system's surround sound? Go wireless. Using Bluetooth wireless technology, Open Interface's SOUNDabout software provides an easier-than-wire user experience with unsurpassed audio quality. An audio transmitter attaches directly to your DVD player or surround processor and wirelessly transmits CD-quality digital audio to powered left/right surround speakers and subwoofer A speaker that reproduces the lower end of the audio spectrum. A subwoofer system may include a crossover circuit which switches frequencies at approximately 100Hz and under to the subwoofer, while passing the rest of the signal to the main speakers. . Proprietary technology in Open Interface's SOUNDabout software automatically adapts the transmission rate for optimal performance in the presence of interference from other wireless devices, while keeping below the latency thresholds required for maintaining lip-synch. A common problem with digital wireless systems is poor synchronization; which significantly degrades the surround and stereo image. SOUNDabout uses proprietary algorithms for keeping the audio from each speaker synchronized within milliseconds of each other. Bluetooth and UWB Combined to Stream High-Definition (HD) Video Wish you could stream video from an iPod or laptop to your flat panel HD TV? The problem is finding an easy way to connect the devices. OI's BLUEtusk demonstration utilizes Bluetooth Version 2.0 profiles and WiMedia UWB radios to create ad-hoc connections between devices and stream high definition video to a 42" LCD TV. Media attendees can see and hear all three demonstrations at the following locations: -- Open Interface North America: Meeting Room 36070, South Hall (By Appointment Only) Contact info@openinterface.com -- STMicroelectronics: Four Seasons Hotel, Jan. 8 - 10 (By Invitation Only) Contact info@openinterface.com Attendees will preview analog dongle and headset, and other hardware from STMicroelectronics, a global leader in developing and delivering semiconductor solutions across the spectrum of microelectronics applications, as well as software solutions from Open Interface North America.
