Stream1955 Carrier Board: Powering Next-Generation Audio Applications

Building Block for Immersive Audio Systems
Supporting up to 24 audio channels, the Stream1955 Carrier Board is ideal for creating immersive multichannel soundbars and complex audio distribution systems, such as Dolby Atmos or DTS soundbars. These channels offer rich, layered sound experiences that deliver audio with precision and depth, perfect for high-end audio environments.

For wireless speakers and streaming receivers, the board’s Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth, and Ethernet connectivity provide fast and reliable wireless communication, ensuring smooth streaming for high-fidelity audio playback across a variety of devices. The TosLink optical input/output supports lossless audio transfer, allowing for digital precision in high-quality sound reproduction.

The Stream1955 Carrier Board itself does not include HDMI ARC/eARC support. However, with the addition of an extra HDMI board, it becomes an excellent option for AV receivers, enabling enhanced audio and video signal control. This allows for high-quality audio transmission from compatible TVs to sound systems, making the combined setup idea for home theater applications.

Advanced Software Support
The Stream1955 Carrier Board is paired with StreamSDK, StreamUnlimited’s comprehensive audio streaming software solution. StreamSDK supports a wide range of popular streaming protocols and codecs, ensuring seamless integration with today’s streaming services, like Spotify or Tidal, and audio ecosystems, like AirPlay or Google Cast. With support for voice assistants, Dolby Atmos, DTS, and spatial audio it enables developers to create smart, interactive audio products for the future.

Applications Outside of Audio
While its primary focus is audio, the Stream1955 Carrier Board has the potential to be used for a variety of other applications. With support for MIPI displays, camera integration, and extensive network connectivity, it is a strong candidate for use in smart home hubs, IoT gateways, and industrial control systems. Additionally, with soft DSP capabilities running on the Stream1955 module, it can process not only soundwaves but any kind of signal or waveform. This allows it to handle tasks such as sensor data processing, real-time analytics, and control in non-audio applications too.

The Stream1955 Carrier Board stands as a highly modular and powerful platform for the next generation of networked audio systems. Whether it’s driving immersive multichannel soundbars, enabling wireless streaming speakers, or powering high-end AV receivers, the Stream1955 Carrier Board offers unmatched flexibility and scalability. Additionally, its capacity to extend into applications beyond audio further enhances its value as a versatile, future-proof solution.
