About Auracast™ broadcast audio
Auracast™ broadcast audio is a new Bluetooth® capability that allows transmission from one to many. By broadcasting to many, it has the potential to provide an assistive listening system (ALS) for people with hearing loss, and those with other disabilities, such as autism, low vision, auditory processing disorders, ADHD, cerebral palsy, etc.
Auracast broadcast audio can be used in two very different ways:
- Auracast broadcast audio for Audio Sharing (no live sound).
- Examples: Sports bar TVs and personal sharing audio. Audio sharing transmits from one smartphone or laptop computer to multiple Auracast-compatible wireless earbuds, with friends and family.
- Auracast streamed Assistive Listening (AL)* (live sound).
- Examples: theaters, lectures, and meetings, which stream to multiple users.
