Leading Chipset Solution Provider Integrates DTS-HD® Decoder
and DTS Ultra Mobile™ Solution to Enhance Mobile Audio Experience
CALABASAS, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
DTS,
Inc. (Nasdaq: DTSI), a leader in high-definition audio solutions,
today announced collaboration with HiSilicon—a leading chipset solution
provider for wireless phones, telecom networks, and digital media. Under
the agreement, HiSilicon will integrate the new DTS-HD® decoder and DTS
Ultra Mobile™ audio solution into the HiSilicon K3V2
Application Processor family, delivering a superior end-to-end audio
solution for mobile platforms. This HiSilicon platform, coupled with a
DTS-HD decoder and DTS Ultra Mobile post-processing technologies,
provides an immersive and more engaging audio experience for on-the-go
consumers.
"Our collaboration with HiSilicon enables broad access to high-quality
audio for all mobile consumers," said Brian Towne, executive vice
president and chief operating officer of DTS, Inc.
DTS-HD decoder enables consumers to playback any DTS encoded music or
movie content, from bandwidth efficient low bit-rates to pristine
lossless audio, including content encoded in DTS's widely adopted DTS-HD
Master Audio™, the audio technology of choice for more than 86%* of
Blu-ray™ titles. DTS Ultra Mobile provides a multi-dimensional
entertainment experience for mobile phones by enhancing audio with a
dramatic, expansive sound field and surround sound effect. DTS Ultra
Mobile also dramatically raises the perceived loudness of audio playback
while preserving the integrity of the original content. This technology
enhances smartphones by maximizing the power of smaller speakers without
clipping or distorting audio when listening to music, playing games, and
enjoying video content.
"Stemming from our longtime strategic partnership, our relationship with
HiSilicon marks a significant milestone in our continued commitment to
integrate DTS audio enhancement solutions into the ever-expanding number
of today's consumer digital media devices," commented Roy Law, president
of DTS Greater China Region.
