Sound

Currently Visionaire supports the following sound file formats: MP3 and WAV (the goal is to support further formats in the future).

• MP3 (MPEG-1 Audio Layer 3): It provides a very good data compression and should be used especially for background music and bigger music files. It has to be noted that the use of the format requires to purchase a licence, which depends on many factors. We recommend to investigate this concerning the specific application before deciding to use it, so that no license problems arise.

• WAV: This is a container format for audio data and provides a good sound quality. The format is most appropriate for noises and sounds and speech.
