StreamUnlimited Using Summit Wi-Fi Audio for Chromecast Built-In Modules

Software solutions and modules provider StreamUnlimited is partnering with Summit Semiconductor to port Summit’s Wi-Fi-compliant software for multichannel audio to its Stream770 and Stream810 Chromecast built-in modules, it said in a Wednesday announcement. The Summit technology lets StreamUnlimited modules support up to a 7.1-channel Wi-Fi-based home theater system with fixed low latency for video and audio synchronization, while maintaining tight speaker synchronization and no soundfield distortion, said Summit. Stream810 targets the premium segment, and Stream770 addresses the mainstream market with a low-cost solution capable of powering Chromecast built-in and voice, it said.
