The annual IFA trade show in Berlin is always an exciting event for tech enthusiasts and this year’s edition was no exception. Among the many innovative companies in attendance, Xperi stood out with its impressive showcase of solutions designed to power the entertainment experience for businesses and consumers around the world.
DTS is now making dialogue clearer and more intelligible
One of the key highlights of Xperi’s presence at IFA 2024 was the official launch of DTS Clear Dialogue. DTS Clear Dialogue is a new on-device solution that leverages the latest advancements in AI-based audio processing to improve dialogue intelligibility for TV audio, delivering a more engaging and personalized audio experience for consumers at home.
DTS Clear Dialogue addresses one of the biggest audio complaints from consumers — not being able to clearly understand spoken onscreen dialogue. There are many reasons why consumers have difficulty understanding onscreen dialogue: device limitations, inconsistent audio across content sources, environmental noise or individual hearing abilities. DTS Clear Dialogue provides consumers with the ability to personalize and optimize their audio experience, significantly improving their understanding of dialogue.
Through a captivating demo, Xperi showcased how DTS Clear Dialogue can transform the way people experience movies, TV shows, and more. Media, prospects and partners were fascinated by the demo, so much so, DTS Clear Dialogue secured two award wins: Trusted Reviews Best of Show and SoundGuys Best of Show. Additionally, the DTS Clear Dialogue announcement was covered by 54 news outlets such as WIRED, The Times, Digital Trends and Engadget.
Powering the next generation of smart TVs
Alongside the latest technology from DTS was Xperi’s impressive showcase of partnerships with leading TV manufacturers. The latest models of smart TVs Powered by TiVo were prominently featured from brands such as Vestel, Metz, Bush, Panasonic and Sharp, highlighting the prominent role TiVo is taking to help shape the future of home entertainment. Smart TVs Powered by TiVo are now available across 17 brands and 15 countries.
Many passersby were impressed with the display of TVs on the stand and were capturing pictures as they made their way through the crowded halls. Journalists, partners and prospects were able to experience firsthand how smart TVs Powered by TiVo can elevate the TV viewing experience, highlighting the power and difference a content-first and user-centric platform can make. This sentiment was also captured by journalists who received demos, with MakeUseOf noting that, “TiVo is quickly becoming one of the go-to features to look at when you’re buying a new TV.”
A glimpse into the future of entertainment
The IFA 2024 event served as a testament to Xperi’s dedication to innovation and its steady pursuit of enhancing the way people consume and enjoy entertainment. Whether a consumer is in the living room where entertainment comes to life with a user-centric, content-fist experience for smart TVs, integrating immersive and personalized sound for the ultimate entertainment experience, or in the garage allowing them to take their favorite content on-the-go with a connected car that makes the ride more entertaining, Xperi is there to help power a better entertainment experience.
