Abstract: Systems and methods for rendering spatial audio in accordance with embodiments of the invention are illustrated. One embodiment includes a spatial audio system, including a primary network connected speaker, including a plurality of sets of drivers, where each set of drivers is oriented in a different direction, a processor system, memory containing an audio player application, wherein the audio player application configures the processor system to obtain an audio source stream from an audio source via the network interface, spatially encode the audio source, decode the spatially encoded audio source to obtain driver inputs for the individual drivers in the plurality of sets of drivers, where the driver inputs cause the drivers to generate directional audio.

Abstract: Systems and methods for clock synchronization in accordance with embodiments of the invention are illustrated. One embodiment includes a clock synchronization system includes a reference device including a clock circuitry, and a transmitter configured to transmit a synchronization signal based on a clock signal using the clock circuitry, and a receiving device including a processor configured to operate by a general-purpose operating system (GPOS), a coprocessor configured to operate by a real-time operating system (RTOS), a memory utilized by the processor, where the coprocessor has direct memory access to the memory, and a receiver configured to receive the signal, where the RTOS directs the coprocessor to trigger an interrupt upon reception of the signal, sample a GPOS clock time stored in the memory in response to the interrupt, generate a clock time based on the signal and the sampled GPOS clock time, and provide the GPOS with the clock time.
