QNX Sound enables automakers to consolidate all audio and acoustic functions seamlessly and cost-effectively within the main software stack of the software-defined vehicle architecture, using pre-integrated and pre-tested core technologies. This includes a complete out-of-the-box library of automotive acoustics functional modules for telephony, safety alerting, noise reduction, sound enhancement, media playback, etc. The software foundation not only provides more control over quality and functionality of these services, but it also includes advanced tuning tools with a graphical programming interface that unlocks endless signal processing creativity. For the first time, this offers an entirely software-driven foundation for automakers to explore new audio-based services and collaborations with technology companies and multimedia content providers to bring new, value-add features into the vehicle, opening new opportunities to create new revenue streams from the activation of optional features – or to upgrades from base audio to a branded premium level – as on-demand or subscription services.

“In the software-defined vehicle age, audio becomes a new playing field for innovation and differentiation,” said John Wall, Senior Vice President, and Head of QNX at BlackBerry. “QNX Sound is the ultimate digital audio platform for the automotive industry and the most comprehensive foundation available for innovation. Through it, we enable automakers to explore new business opportunities and exciting collaborations that will truly appeal to and excite the end user.”

QNX Sound is the only software-defined audio and acoustics solution for the automotive industry that has been fully tested in production and pre-integrated in next generation System on Chip (SoCs). The platform is pre-integrated with BlackBerry QNX Real Time Operating System (RTOS) and QNX Hypervisor and includes an audio extension mechanism that allows 3rd party signal processing suppliers to compile and deploy their own c-code algorithms. Furthermore, it is pre-tested with leading measurement and simulation equipment suppliers and industry open standards, like VirtIO to support sound design, tuning and signal flow design capabilities for exciting new features both in the cloud and, eventually, on hardware targets.

New platform brings unprecedented access to in-vehicle listener data

DTS, a global leader in next-generation audio, imaging and sensing technology and a wholly owned subsidiary of Xperi announced the global launch of DTS AutoStage Broadcaster Portal — giving radio broadcasters access to data on listener engagement.

Machine Learning Insights: Machine Learning in Supply Chain: KoiReader Technologies & NVIDIA Team Up To Simplify…

“This new DTS AutoStage data provides the missing link for how radio plays a starring role in cars”

The DTS AutoStage system, the only global automotive independent media delivery platform, is delivering next-generation, AI-powered connected radio, audio and video content for more than 52 connected car models worldwide, seamlessly combining linear broadcast with IP-delivered content that enables a powerfully personalized, in-vehicle infotainment solution. The DTS AutoStage system was designed to deliver a visually rich, safe and immersive entertainment experience in the connected car, with particular focus on providing a global connected broadcast radio experience. The DTS AutoStage system’s support of radio is unique in scale and capability and allows radio broadcasters to retain editorial control of content while offering a rich and consistent user experience, with the added benefit of valuable listener insights and analytics.

With the launch of the DTS AutoStage Broadcaster Portal, every radio broadcaster can, for the first time, gain insights into how their in-car listeners are engaging with their content from the car via an easy-to-use dashboard.

DTS AutoStage portal data insights available to radio broadcasters include:

  • The geographic definition of the audience
  • Popular locations and thoroughfares
  • Program performance, including most popular formats and content
  • Retailer heat maps, showing shopping locations in proximity to station’s audience

“Radio is still the number one source of in-car entertainment and to keep this prominence our in-car user experience will make stations more discoverable and engaging to extend listening sessions. DTS AutoStage Broadcaster Portal is enabling a completely new level of data insights for radio broadcasters to connect with target audiences and power new revenue opportunities with brands and advertisers,” said Joe D’Angelo, senior vice president of broadcast and digital audio at Xperi.

“Through smart TVs and set-top boxes, TV broadcasters have enjoyed the ability to measure audience engagement. The connected car and DTS AutoStage have revolutionized the data possibilities for radio broadcasters, giving them access to in-car data for millions of vehicles to inform programming content and ad strategies,” said Pierre Bouvard, chief insights officer for Cumulus Media Westwood One.

“This new DTS AutoStage data provides the missing link for how radio plays a starring role in cars,” said Fred Jacobs, president, Jacobs Media. “Traditionally, AM/FM radio’s top listening location is cars and trucks, but ratings information has always been vague. The DTS AutoStage Broadcaster Portal unlocks many new data points – geographic targeting on the road, reactions to in-car content, and ‘heat maps’ that overlay listening with shopping locations. That last part is key for radio sales, always in need of more data to provide ‘windshield advertisers’ with meaningful data. Programmers and sales managers will be huddled around their computers, identifying previously untold marketing stories. I wish I had these analytics when I was a program director.”

Xperi, via its comprehensive broadcast technologies portfolio such as the DTS AutoStage and HD Radio technologies, is uniquely committed to delivering extraordinary experiences for broadcasters to preserve their special bonds with the communities they serve, enabling connections with audiences wherever they consume content, while personalizing content discovery and future-proofing radio with a consistent stream of broadcast innovation.

On November 8 2022, AdTonos will host a hybrid 80s-themed event in London to celebrate the launch of this innovative AI solution. A recreated ELO music video for the rock band’s 1981 hit ‘Yours Truly, 2095’ will provide industry leaders with insights into the new era of audio advertising comparing what the imagined future would be with today’s reality. At the same time, the event will be broadcasted to a wide audience worldwide via video streaming.

“We believe that YoursTruly, our solution for interactive audio ads, is state-of-the-art when it comes to fulfilling the untapped, thrilling potential for innovation in the Adtech space. Truly, we feel success in Adtech is all about the simplicity of use for brands and advertisers—and in the listener experience,” said Michal Marcinik, CEO & Founder, AdTonos.

YoursTruly™ gives brands the power of real conversation with its customers in their audio advertising by interacting via simple voice activation. This solution is technologically advanced beyond the current state of tech and integrates with both Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant into one, easy-to-use platform. It works on smart speakers and most Android mobile phones where the listener responds to an ad in order to receive more information or to perform any desired action.

According to Business Insider, Google Assistant can be installed on at least half a billion devices, 640 million smart speakers are predicted to be installed by 2024 (Statista) and 52% of internet-using UK households own voice-activated speakers (Digital TV Europe). Future developments will lead to more voice-led tasks such as starting a car with a voice command.

The first-of-its-kind audio interactive campaign AdTonos deployed for Audi using this technology lays the foundation for audio and voice advertising innovation globally. The YoursTruly™ technology was debuted via an ad campaign that Omnicom Media Group’s PHD planned and delivered for Audi and targeted London’s commercial radio stations in a worldwide first — including Absolute Radio, Kiss Radio and Magic Radio. Listeners could easily book test drives for the brand’s latest model through voice activation on their smart speakers. The campaign also harnessed intelligent geolocation technology to help listeners select their nearest dealership.

“It is very difficult for B2B tech businesses to present new products and solutions in ways that would be instantly understandable to potential customers. That’s why we decided that our product launch should be all about proper storytelling. And the story we tell is about love and tech, as there are lots of similarities with ground-breaking technology and emotions. We’re looking forward to showcasing a music video we recorded to the fantastic song by Electric Light Orchestra,” Michal Marcinik further said about the technology and event ahead. “It tells the story of love in the year 2095. We explore the idea that actually, love is like technology: It solely depends on us, our involvement, and how much we commit ourselves to it. It may be one-directional, dangerous, difficult. It can also be fulfilling, thrilling and … true.”

AdTonos strives to deliver the best technology possible, making human-computer interaction as natural as possible, and presenting technology in a compelling way requires good storytelling. While it can sometimes it can be difficult to explain how the Adtech solutions work in a concise way, AdTonos has drawn parallels between emotion and technology with this launch, to highlight that technology – much like a relationship – can be good or bad depending on how it is used and inputs it receives.

Introducing Community Chats: Connecting Your Community in Real Time on Messenger and Facebook

We’ve helped more than a billion people connect with loved ones in a trusted space on Messenger, and we know that people want to engage in real time with larger communities over shared interests, Mark Zuckerberg announced we’ll begin testing the ability for people to start Community Chats in Messenger in the coming weeks, allowing people to create a Facebook Group, start chats and audio channels, and invite others to join their new group all within the app. We’ll also be expanding Community Chats to even more Facebook Groups.

Community Chats let people connect more deeply with communities in real time around the topics they care about in multiple formats, including text, audio and video. The experience seamlessly blends Messenger and Facebook Groups to allow people to connect when, where and how they want. Admins can now start a conversation about a topic and get in-the-moment responses instead of waiting for people to comment on a post. And, rather than navigating multiple topics in a single Messenger group chat, the person who creates the Community Chat can organize chats into categories so group members can easily find what’s most interesting to them. For example, a band’s fan group could have a “Breaking News” category with chats dedicated to new album drops, tour dates and group activities.

Admins can choose from several options to help their communities connect. They can start a chat for group members around a specific topic, an event chat for an outing or meetup, a view-only broadcast chat for admins to announce group-wide updates and an admin-only chat to collaborate with admins and moderators. Admins can also create audio channels so group members can share live commentary or receive real-time support. Participants also have the option to enable video once they’re in the audio channel. For example, the admin of a Facebook Group for chemistry students could create audio channels for study groups during finals season, and participants can turn on video for live tutoring. Community Chats are only accessible to members of a group.

Given the more public nature of Community Chats, we’ve developed a robust suite of tools to help admins easily manage both chat and audio experiences. This includes moderation capabilities like blocking, muting or suspending group members, and removing members or messages, as well as Admin Assist, which allows admins to set custom criteria that will automatically suspend users, remove reported messages, and stop messages from ineligible authors or containing violating content from being sent. Members of Community Chats can also report messages to group admins or Meta, block users or leave a chat at any time. Learn more about privacy and safety controls in Community Chats.

We’re committed to building messaging experiences that help people connect with their communities, friends and families. As Community Chats rolls out to more people and groups around the world, we’ll continue exploring new features and capabilities to make it easier to connect with one another.
