The first of many HARMAN SDKs will be for the Harman Kardon Wireless HD Audio System. Community members will have access to HARMAN brands, tools, resources and support to build, test and launch applications.   The developer community site will also provide forums, community support, and documentation to help speed the development process. These assets allow developers to explore ways to enhance the Harman Kardon multi-room audio, potentially via new listening modes and tuning options, or other streaming services.
