SRS Labs Inc. is now offering SRS CS Headphone™ technology which can enable dormant surround sound in mobile video and streaming media applications, making a home theater-like user experience from mobile video applications a possibility. SRS CS Headphone is now available for license to wireless service providers, streaming media providers and mobile device makers.
According to SRS, CS Headphone is deeply rooted in the company’s successful Circle Surround decoder technology which is featured in leading automobile surround systems and A/V receivers. Building on SRS’ 2008 CES Innovations Award winning headphone technology, SRS Headphone 360™, SRS CS Headphone is highly optimized for low power mobile devices, and utilizes only the two-channel stereo or surround encoded audio delivered over mobile devices.
CS Headphone takes the stereo or surround encoded two-channel audio and first processes it using an ultra-low-power Circle Surround decoder to create 5.1 highly accurate channels. The audio is then fed into SRS’ Headphone 360 rendering technology. The end result is the accurate placement of 5.1 channels of natural sounding audio around the listeners head — through standard stereo earphones or headphones. No special hardware or headphone design required.
