September 3, 2012 -- CSR, plc has unveiled CSR aptX Low Latency, a new audio-coding technology that slashes to one-third the delay of stereo audio signals over Bluetooth connectivity, effectively enabling consumers to watch video while listening to wireless audio in a synchronized fashion. As a result, the product is ideally suited to wireless audio delivery for video and gaming applications.

CSR aptX Low Latency for Bluetooth offers a coding delay of just 32ms, far less than the standard Bluetooth latency of more than 150ms, and well under the 45ms recommended latency for audio/ video applications.

Although standard Bluetooth technology offers the ability to stream stereo audio wirelessly from mobile handsets and other audio play devices to headphones and speakers, its bandwidth-constrained audio poses inferior sound, and the latency delay is not suitable for video or gaming applications. CSR aptX audio-coding technology is designed to solve both the bandwidth and latency bottleneck, delivering CD-quality sound wirelessly over Bluetooth connections for a variety of consumer electronics applications

Availability

CSR aptX Low Latency is now available for license on CSR audio platforms and on Android OS.
