Microchip released a new generation of JB Multizone 2.0 technology and related mobile applications

The world's leading supplier of integrated microcontrollers, mixed-signal, analog devices, and flash memory patent solutions- Microchip Technology Inc. today announced the launch of the JukeBlox® 4 platform based on the JukeBlox® 4 platform The second-generation MulTIzone audio technology and related mobile applications designed for overall home audio and multi-room applications. A new generation of JB MulTIzone 2.0 technology combined with JB App can make audio streams tightly synchronized and highly stable transmission to multiple speakers. JB App is a turnkey mobile application that can easily set up and operate wireless speakers.

The overall home audio and multi-room audio systems allow users to set multiple speakers into one zone so that the same audio stream can be played simultaneously. In this way, users can create multiple zones and play different audio streams in each zone. For example: when children are playing outdoors, they can let a pair of speakers in the yard play popular music, and when preparing dinner, they can let the four speakers downstairs play soothing classical music.

JB MulTIzone 2.0 uses advanced technology to reduce the degradation of sound quality commonly seen in traditional Wi-Fi® streaming applications. With the Wi-Fi Direct function, there is no need to connect every speaker in the same area to the access point, thus eliminating the common problems associated with overloading the access point. Bypassing the access point can also reduce RF bandwidth consumption by half, thereby improving streaming media transmission quality and / or being able to add more speakers in the same area. In addition, Wi-Fi Direct also adds Wi-Fi Multimedia (WMM) function to reduce the cause of regional speaker delay and packet loss, so as to achieve tight audio synchronization playback with minimal sound quality degradation.

JB App is a complete mobile application that enables OEMs to quickly deploy a complete overall home audio solution without having to manage an application development project. OEM manufacturers can choose the appropriate source code to develop custom applications, or directly rename the application and publish it to users. Users can use the JB App to create and modify areas, select audio sources, and easily connect speakers to local Wi-Fi networks. The JB App source code is freely available and supports iOS and Android â„¢ platforms.

Sumit Mitra, vice president of Microchip ’s Wireless Products Division, said: “As a technology-complete platform, JB MulTIzone 2.0 can help designers quickly develop powerful overall home audio solutions and bring them to market. The JukeBlox platform uses advanced wireless network technology, Create the ultimate listening experience for users. "

Supply

JB Multizone 2.0 is now available for evaluation and mass production.
