StreamUnlimited Engineering, a leader in advanced audio solutions, has officially announced the launch of StreamSDK as a Linux container, which is designed to support the Multi-Stream Audio solution and StreamSDK Lite.
According to certain reports, customers can now enjoy flexibility to choose between a complete hardware-software solution or StreamSDK Lite i.e. a software-only option which allows brands to integrate advanced streaming capabilities into their existing hardware setups faster than ever before.
To understand the significance of such a development, though, we must take into account how integrating advanced streaming capabilities into existing hardware setup has traditionally required an extensive brand of customization which, like you can guess, turns the whole arrangement costly and time-consuming.
In response, StreamSDK Lite makes lightwork of the given process by enabling quicker and more cost-effective upgrades for existing systems with streaming capabilities.
Talk about the whole value proposition on a slightly deeper level, we begin from its single hardware module. The stated module has its utility rooted in eliminating the need for multiple audio processors, or audio streamers, and therefore, doing away with unnecessary bottlenecks.
Next up, we must get into the prospect of Independent Audio Zones. This translates to how each zone can independently play distinct audio tailored to the mood and setting, something which treads up a long distance to enhance the overall user experience.
Then, there is an underlying modular and flexible software stack. The stated flexibility allows for users to actively customize the StreamSDK software stack and get it to address their specific requirements.
“Multi-Stream simplifies audio setups by eliminating the need for multiple audio processing units. This approach streamlines both installation and maintenance, offers scalability to fit any space, and significantly reduces hardware costs. As a result, our system is more efficient and cost-effective for our customers.” said Peter Sumega, Director High End & CEDIA.
Among other things, we ought to mention how Multi-Stream Audio technology actually makes for optimized centralized audio systems that, on their part, enable efficient management and distribution of sound from a single control point across multiple locations. Markedly enough, each of the location here can independently choose its audio stream so to enhance the system’s versatility and let it thrive across a wide variety of environments.
These environments include, for instance, the residential space, where homeowners can manage music streaming across every room from a single device. This allows each family member to enjoy personalized audio experiences.
Next up, we have the commercial sector, which can rely upon StreamUnlimited’s latest brainchild to create distinct sound environments in different sections, such as restaurants or retail stores, thus aligning audio settings with specific branding needs.
Joining that would be the hospitality industry. You see, the technology can provide hotels, resorts, yachts, and boutique shops with the capability to offer customized audio in both communal and private spaces, all of it again managed from one central hub to improve guests and employees experiences.
Founded in 2005, StreamUnlimited’s rise up the ranks stems from providing cutting-edge software solutions and hardware modules for connected audio and IoT products. The company, at present, happens to be a global system integrator with proprietary IP and engineering expertise, known for partnering with high-end audio brands, CEDIA-channel integrators, premium and mainstream consumer electronics manufacturers, and major semiconductor companies across the consumer electronics and IoT sectors.
