Summit Semiconductor Introduces the First HDMI and WiSA Compliant Audio Hub Reference Design for Wireless Home Theater Systems

PORTLAND, OR — (Marketwire) — 01/02/13 — a leader in advanced wireless audio technologies and an advisory board member of the , will demonstrate their entry level wireless audio hub reference design with HDMI® connectivity at the 2013 Consumer Electronics Show (CES). The low cost audio hub not only provides simplified wireless setup with WiSA certified speakers but is also an essential connection platform in a home theater system providing basic connectivity and audio decode for high definition sources such as Blu-ray Disc players, set top boxes, game consoles and TVs, offered in a desirable small form factor (7.5″x5.25″x1.5″).

The audio hub reference design is compliant with the latest version of the WiSA Compliance Test Specification (CTS). The CTS is the industry-s first compliance test specification that outlines an interoperability testing and certification program aimed at products that offer wireless, interference-free, uncompressed HD audio by taking advantage of the unique 5GHz Unlicensed National Information Infrastructure (U-NII) frequency band. The reference design is architected to ensure interoperability with WiSA-enabled speakers and to deliver key audio performance and ease of use characteristics (i.e. volume, audio latency, network setup, audio channel assignment, scalability, etc.) independent of price point and speaker attributes.

“A class of audio enthusiasts have emerged that demand better sound without the setup complexity of a traditional home theater system,” said Tony Parker, vice president of marketing, Summit Semiconductor. “The WiSA compliant audio hub will significantly reduce development time and expense for manufactures, but more importantly will greatly simplify home theater setup while providing consumers a choice of WiSA interoperable speakers from popular brands.”

Summit Semiconductor will be an exhibitor at the International CES, Las Vegas, NV, January 8-11, 2013, in the Venetian Towers, suite 30-217, providing product demonstrations of the new soundbar, audio hub and amplifier reference designs for wireless home theater.
