Realtek to exhibit multiple Bluetooth wireless technologies at CES 2024. Including innovative dual-mode headphones, smart charging cases, gaming HID devices, and the Matter solution.

Bluetooth+5GHz Gaming Headphones with Audio Mixing

Realtek introduced a premium Bluetooth+5GHz gaming headphones (RTL8783D+RTL8773D) that combine Bluetooth and 5GHz dual-mode connectivity technology. Its unique feature is that it allows users to simultaneously connect two different devices and mix the audio from both devices, providing a seamless multimedia experience. In 5GHz mode, the headphones connect to a 5GHz transmitter using Real Lossless Audio (RLA) technology, supporting various sampling rates (48K, 96K, 192K) and sample precision (16-bit/24-bit) for near-wired audio quality. Additionally, the 5GHz mode is optimized for gaming with low latency, achieving an end-to-end latency of less than 15 milliseconds and ongoing efforts to further reduce latency for gamers to enjoy smoother, near-real-time gaming experiences. In Bluetooth mode, the headphones can connect to smartphones or other Bluetooth devices, supporting HFP, A2DP, LE Audio, compatible with LDAC and LHDC decoders, providing users with a wide range of Bluetooth connection options and audio decoding capabilities for diverse and high-quality audio experiences.

Smart Charging Cases with High-Resolution High-Refresh-Rate Screens

Realtek's smart charging case solution, utilizing RTL8762G and RTL8763E Bluetooth chips, introduces the display control feature that not only replaces traditional mobile apps but also offers users a unique and fresh application experience. This solution supports high resolution and high refresh rate screens with touch functionality, enabling users to enjoy exceptional visual effects and smooth interactive experiences. Moreover, the charging cases support classic Bluetooth, low-power Bluetooth, and low-power Bluetooth audio, covering more audio application scenarios and enabling features like Apple Find My and Auracast Assistant, greatly expanding the functionality and convenience of the devices.

Gaming HID Devices Supporting Wireless 8K High Reporting Rate

Realtek's latest generation multi-protocol platform, RTL8762G, integrates a USB2.0 High-Speed interface and 2.4GHz efficient wireless transmission technology, supporting wireless 8K high-speed reporting rate. Game mice designed with this platform not only achieve significantly improved tracking smoothness but also reduce wireless latency to just 125 microseconds, greatly optimizing the gaming experience. Another highlight of RTL8762G is its adoption of the RealFast wireless protocol, which features highly adaptive environmental monitoring and frequency hopping capabilities, greatly enhancing anti-interference ability, allowing users to enjoy smooth and precise operation experiences even in complex environments. The new generation multi-protocol platform, RTL8762G, opens up new possibilities for gaming mouse products, enabling players to enjoy the ultimate gaming experience in any environment.

Matter over Wi-Fi and Thread

In the field of smart homes, Realtek's Matter cross-generation smart home solution (RTL8720/RTL8721/RTL8730/RTL8777/RTL8771) covers Ameba Wi-Fi/BLE MCU family products that progressively support the Matter protocol. The recently added RTL8777 supports Thread (15.4) and BLE technologies，making it a low-power smart home device for Matter over Thread with standard interfaces and GPIO. The Matter over Thread solution (RTL8771 series) enhances the central control capability of smart homes, allowing host devices such as TVs or OTT boxes to control all Matter over Thread-enabled smart devices in the home, turning them into control hubs. The RTL8771 not only supports a Matter Thread Radio Co-Processor (RCP) solution but also serves as a Matter terminal device solution, providing smart home manufacturers with a comprehensive combination of wireless connections (Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Thread) for the Internet of Things (IoT).

At CES 2024, Realtek showcased a series of innovative and captivating Bluetooth wireless technologies. These technologies include dual-mode gaming headphones with audio mixing capabilities, smart charging cases, and 8K gaming HID devices. Additionally, Realtek demonstrated the Matter over Wi-Fi and Thread solutions. The combination of these technologies undoubtedly provides users with advanced, intelligent, and exceptional wireless experiences, offering unprecedented convenience and innovative experiences.
