FAQ --- Codentity® Patent Licensing
What is patented Codentity® Transition Technology (CTT)
Codentity® Transition Technology (CTT) is a patented method (US 9,286,942) which creates a song measurement, content duration calculation, and multi-player execution system. CTT enables consistent audio levels as it alternates song playback between two or more media players, producing an unending series of uniformly natural, overlapping or adjoined transitions between songs.
The automatic music-flow control of patented CTT surpasses the known capabilities of ALL other methodologies in the consumer / pro-sumer space—including products distributed by leading companies. Compare patent methodologies on Evidence page.
Why and how does Codentity® Transition Technology offer superior music-flow performance?
The mixing magic performed by Codentity® Transition Technology is accomplished automatically—in real time—WITHOUT the latency, pre-rolls, filter-graphing, delays, quantization effects, buffer flushing, frame blending, and song-file comparison techniques typically seen in OTHER less than effective technologies.
And with CTT, there is no requirement for user actions like song preparation, tag assignment, level editing, or input of global or discrete fade points.
Codentity® Transition Technology delivers a more pleasing listener experience because (unlike with other methods) there are no SILENCE GAPS, no premature fade-outs, no unwanted fade-ins, and no song-content portion deletions. The result is song rendering the way the artist intended, and music flow the listener expects.

Why and how are other 'gapless playback' technologies less effective?
The patent designs, and marketplace products, for many of the well-known technology companies typically produce some type of simulated gapless playback effect. Their methods generally use various forms of DSP (digital signal processing) "cross fades".
Examples include: frame sampling, buffer blending, filter-graphing, waveform analysis, pre-roll calculations, or file comparisons. These processes require CPU overhead, and can create transition pairings with imprecise song boundaries and undesirable audio levels.
Unfortunately, their outcomes (depending on the vendor and the song-pairings) are often not what the listener would expect to hear. So, as ingenious as some of the other marketplace designs may be, the Codentity® patent seeks to improve the listener experience by disclosing a system and methods that are more pleasing, more efficient, and more consistent.
Which DEVICES or PLATFORMS can benefit from incorporating Codentity® Transition Technology?
The patented methods of Codentity® Transition Technology (CTT) can be adapted to improve the listener's music-flow experience on: Smartphone devices and apps, smart TVs, tablet devices and apps, streaming Web-music channels, In-Car Audio systems and software layers, enterprise music servers, and other platforms.
For customers and partners who license CTT, additional assistance can be purchased with the acquisition of CTT Developer Assets package.
The Developer Assets Package includes programming objects, source code blocks, work-flow diagrams, and engineering notes will provide clear examples, and template guidance, for programmers who wish to adapt CTT to their platforms and proprietary networks.
Does Codentity® offer platform INTEGRATION support?
Yes. Codentity® Technology Licensing supports CTT for Windows® 10 / 8.1 / 8 /
7 / XP. For partners that acquire the CTT Developer Assets Package and Developer Consultation Services, Codentity supports alternate platforms to include JavaScript®, Android®, and Apple® iOS integration. Codentity will assist engineers working to implement CTT on integrated circuits and hardware embodiments.
