What you can ship with Cinemo.
Multi-room audio and zone control
Customers can group your speakers into rooms or zones, control them independently, and move audio between groups from a single app, yours or the Cinemo app. Multi-room is no longer an entry-level differentiator. You can offer it from day one.
Stereo pairing across device types
Two Cinemo-enabled speakers, even across different device types, can be paired as a stereo pair for a wider, more balanced soundstage. That flexibility removes a major buying objection: customers can pair any two devices from your portfolio, no need to buy an identical model twice.
Synchronized playback across rooms or zones
Audio flows between rooms and zones or across business locations with low-latency synchronization, powered by Cinemo's patented Distributed Playback Technology. Synchronization is delivered through the cloud, so it works whether devices are on Wi-Fi, mobile data, abroad, or distributed across locations.
Cloud-managed device control
Your devices are managed from a single Cinemo account: grouping, content selection, volume, and playlist controls all flow through the cloud, whether end users manage it from the Cinemo App or your own branded app. That gives end users a unified experience.
OTA updates for features and security
Through Cinemo, your customers automatically access new features, new content providers, and security patches over the air. Devices keep getting better after they leave the shelf, a meaningful differentiator in product reviews and a real lift to long-term customer satisfaction.

How integration works.
Footprint and chipset compatibility
Cinemo runs on Linux and is engineered to work on a wide range of chipsets, from cost-optimized Wi-Fi audio modules to high-end audio SoCs. The footprint is intentionally lean so it can ship on entry-level devices without forcing you up the BOM ladder.
Coexistence with other middleware
You decide whether Cinemo is the sole media platform on your device or coexists with what you already ship. Cinemo is designed to slot in next to existing Bluetooth stacks, casting protocols, and proprietary audio engines, not to replace them outright.
Companion app, yours or ours
Use the Cinemo App as your end-user experience, or use the Cinemo SDK to embed Cinemo Cloud Ecosystem capabilities inside your own branded app. Either way, your users get multi-room, stereo pairing, synchronized playback, and seamless access to connected content services.
Certification and go-to-market support
Each device model goes through certification via the Cinemo Partner Portal. Once certified, it is a Cinemo-certified device and ships with the badge. Cinemo supports launch with co-branded collateral, cross promotion across the ecosystem, and access to Market Development Funds.
Why now: the shift to software-defined audio.
Devices used to be defined by what they could do on day one. Today, they're defined by how much better they can become. Buyers expect new content services, new playback features, and new compatibility to arrive after purchase. Reviewers reward devices that keep improving. The automotive industry, where Cinemo has shipped for 18 years, went through exactly this shift over the last decade. Software-defined vehicles, OTA updates, and cloud-managed features became the new baseline. Connected audio is following the same curve, and the engineering playbook is the same one Cinemo already runs. Cinemo gives you the platform to deliver software-defined audio without standing up a cloud, a partner program, and a content distribution stack of your own.
What Cinemo handles, so you don't have to.
- •Cloud infrastructure for device management and advanced playback features.
- •Content provider relationships, certifications, and distribution agreements.
