Harman, the automotive electronics and audio subsidiary of Samsung Electronics, said on the 14th that it has launched the in-vehicle audio and communication solution "Harman Ready Streamshare."
Harman Ready Streamshare is designed to centrally manage audio from multiple devices through a central hub, in line with the shift toward various passengers enjoying content using personal devices.
Up to four passengers can connect their own mobile phones to the vehicle system to create individual listening zones.
Passengers can enjoy content privately through Harman's ultra-low-latency wireless headphones or join the listening zone of another seat to share media.
Each passenger can have hands-free conversations even while wearing headphones, and if the driver uses the "Driver Announcement" feature, all sounds being played are paused and a notice can be delivered to all passengers.
The solution features Harman's patented ultra-low-latency wireless audio streaming technology to minimize conversational delay or dropouts even when using headphones.
Harman said it plans to respond to evolving in-vehicle media consumption and communication methods through Ready Streamshare and to lead the intelligent in-vehicle audio experience.
Zafar Razzacki, director of product management for Harman Ready Streamshare, said, "Built on deep user insights and innovation, this solution is establishing Harman as a leader in in-vehicle audio experiences."
