Bluetooth Receiver (Audio Input) Operation When the device is configured as audio input, the Bluetooth module implements an A2DP sink profile with SBC protocol. A2DP enables stereo audio streaming from the music player to the ALTO audio system. 1. Upon power up, the unit is initially not connected to any devices and the unit name is broadcast.
In this case it is important to employ Low-Latency headphones if the user desires to view cabin video while listening to the audio over the Bluetooth link. The Alto BT Transmitter incorporated a special codec known as aptX-LL®. A list of headphones supporting the aptX-Low Latency can be found here https://www.aptx.com/products?field_aptx_type_tid=484&field_product_category_tid=125...
