■
Wired audio mode for pendant-style headsets supports music playback using a line-in jack. Enables non
Bluetooth operation in low battery modes or when using the headset in an airplane-mode.
■
Support for smartphone applications (apps)
■
The CSR8640 stereo headset has undergone extensive interoperability testing to ensure it works with the
majority of phones on the market
16.1.1
Advanced Multipoint Support
Advanced Multipoint enables the connection of 2 devices to a CSR8640 BGA headset at the same time, examples
include:
■
2 phones connected to a CSR8640 BGA headset
■
Phone and a VoIP dongle connected to a CSR8640 BGA headset
The CSR8640 stereo headset:
■
Supports a up to 2 simultaneous connections (either HFP or HSP)
■
Enables multiple-call handling from both devices at the same time
■
Treats all headset buttons:
■
During a call from 1 device, as if there is 1 device connected
■
During multiple calls (1 on each device), as if there is a single AG with multiple calls in progress (three-
way calling)
■
During multiple calls (more than 1 on each device), as if there are multiple calls on a single device
enabling the user to switch between the active and held calls
16.1.2
A2DP Multipoint Support
A2DP Multipoint support enables the connection of 2 A2DP source devices to CSR8640 BGA at the same time,
examples include:
■
2 A2DP-capable phones connected to a CSR8640 BGA headset
■
A2DP-capable phone and an A2DP-only source device, e.g. a PC or an iPod touch
The CSR8640 stereo headset enables:
■
Music streaming from either of the connected A2DP source devices where the music player is controlled
on the source device
■
Advanced HFP Multipoint functions to interrupt music streaming for calls, and resume music streaming on
the completion of the calls
■
AVRCP v1.4 connections to both connected devices, enabling the headset to remotely control the primary
device, i.e. the device currently streaming audio
16.1.3
Wired Audio Mode
CSR8640 BGA supports a wired audio mode for playing music over a wired connection. This enables the headset
to operate when the battery is too low for Bluetooth operation or in environments where the use of wireless
technologies is not permitted, e.g. airplane-mode.
The CSR8640 stereo headset automatically routes the wired audio input to the headphone output when
CSR8640 BGA is not powered.
If CSR8640 BGA is powered, the audio path is routed through CSR8640 BGA, including via the DSP, this enables
the headset to:
■
Mix audio sources, e.g. tones and programmable audio prompts
■
Control the volume of the audio, i.e. volume up and volume down
■
Utilise the 5 band EQ
The wired audio mode can be used in conjunction with the USB audio mode, see Section 16.1.4. USB audio has
priority if attached and is routed to the headset speaker if CSR8640 BGA is powered.
