About BlueSoleil

BlueSoleil is a Windows-based software from IVT that allows your

Bluetooth

?enabled desktop

or notebook computer to wirelessly connect to other

Bluetooth

enabled devices. BlueSoleil

allows MS Windows users to wirelessly access a wide variety of

Bluetooth

enabled digital

devices, such as cameras, mobile phones, headsets, printers, and GPS receivers. You can also
form networks and exchange data with other

Bluetooth

enabled computers or PDAs.

In order to connect and share services via

Bluetooth

wireless technology, two devices must support

the same

Bluetooth

Profile(s) as well as opposite device roles (i.e., one must be the server, and the

other must be the client).

Bluetooth

enabled devices often support multiple profiles, and if involved

in multiple connections, can perform different device roles simultaneously. BlueSoleil supports the
following

Bluetooth

functions (Profiles) in the following device roles:

Bluetooth

(Profiles)

Client Server

Notes:

Only one Headset or AV Headphone connection can exist at a time, since there is only one virtual
Bluetooth audio device.
