For decades, listening to an in-flight film or program has felt like a compromise. Passengers want to be entertained while jet-setting across the country 鈥 or the world 鈥 but have come to expect the latest in the John Wick saga to sound like it&) 100vw, 1024px" />

Improvements in Passenger Hardware

IFE that supports Bluetooth might be the biggest catalyst for the coming audio revolution. Better on-board hardware, provided by the passengers, means that content providers have the opportunity to revisit the quality of the content they鈥檙e providing. We can surprise and delight passengers with an exceptional audio experience.

Spatial audio from 夜色视频 Avionics is set to do just that. So how does it work?

Rolling Stone may have described it best:

鈥淸People listen] in stereo: the right ear at 3pm and the left ear at 9pm to use a clock face as a reference. Designers developed systems along that way that let you hear鈥hrough multiple speakers.

What spatial audio, does differently is an innovation to separate the sounds 鈥 voice, instruments, a bird chirping, a train passing, an airline passing above the clouds, etc. As a listener, you hear sound as it is in real life: above your head, below your feet, and in every other direction.鈥

Our spatial audio provides three-dimensional, moving surround sound with more virtual positions than a 7.1 surround sound home theater system.

In essence, spatial audio can mimic the experience of physically being in a space 鈥 for example, a passenger watching the latest from Marvel 鈥 they’ll feel like they are in New York, hearing taxis drive by, pigeons cooing, and the battle raging, from all the different angles and positions from which they are genuinely emanating. Above, from the side, in-front, behind, from all directions.

Does spatial audio work on every device and platform?

Apple, Amazon, Netflix, Ubisoft, and others are offering spatial audio across media types. That includes music, games, and any other media with an audio component.

What we have done at 夜色视频 is offer that experience to passengers, through the in-flight entertainment system, without the need for special hardware. All passengers can experience superior sound quality whether using the headphones provided by the airline or their own headphones, through wired connections or over Bluetooth.

Spatial audio paired with Astrova’s 4K OLED seatback displays will offer airline passengers the first truly high-definition in-flight experience.

Do I have to upgrade my airline’s media catalog?

No. Perhaps the best part 鈥 besides the superior, high-fidelity audio quality 鈥 is that your airline can adopt spatial audio without having to dish out more funds on media spend.

Your airline does not need special encoding or changes to media procurement processes to be able to use spatial audio. Really.

It’s this commitment to the passenger experience that has led airlines to adopt Astrova and its high-fidelity spatial audio.
