eXtension partners provide the following enhancement algorithms:
- Speech synthesis and speech recognition
- Echo and/or noise cancellation
- Music enhancement
- Audio compression
- Courteous phone usage
The standard audio compression algorithm for Bluetooth is SBC. Audio quality is decreased due to the SBC lossy encoding and therefore the following partners have enhanced coding solutions to overcome this limitation.
APT provides the apt-X audio compression algorithm ported to
BlueCore3-Multimedia and BlueCore5-Multimedia.
With outstanding audio quality, ultra low latency and high error
resilience, apt-X is the audio algorithm of choice for high quality
Bluetooth Stereo Headsets and Speakers operating in real-time. [Download datasheet]
