WiSA today announced the WiSA SoundSend Certified program, a new certification initiative developed to ensure seamless connectivity and interoperability with the WiSA SoundSend wireless audio transmitter. The program was developed by the Association to work with TV manufacturers, and the first on board is Toshiba’s REGZA TV.
Other smart TVs can earn this certification status as well once they undergo a series of tests to ensure perfect connectivity with SoundSend. This includes testing all audio connection and control requirements between the SoundSend and the smart TV.
“Now more than ever, smart TVs are at the center of the home cinema and continue to deliver more and better immersive content,” says WiSA President, Tony Ostrom. “WiSA is helping its TV manufacturing members across the globe easily acquire this standout certification as they’re witnessing SoundSend prove to be an integral part of seamless, wireless home cinema while allowing connection to incredible speaker solutions from a large and growing roster of WiSA members.”
WiSA’s SoundSend audio transmitter launched in November 2020 as the Association’s first branded product ever to hit the market. The SoundSend is an HDMI (or optical)-connected transmitter designed to make wireless multichannel audio accessible in minutes from nearly every smart TV.
“WiSA continues to pave the way for the emerging wireless audio category and -TVS REGZA Corp. is excited to be the first TV brand to receive WiSA SoundSend Certification on several new 2021 models,” says Yasuhiro Ishibashi, Director of TVS REGZA R&D Center. “Facilitating a simple way to surround our TVs with great audio that perfectly blends with the high-performance video we deliver will certainly and dramatically increase the entertainment delivered to our customers.”
