Abstract:
Methods, apparatus, systems, and articles of manufacture are disclosed to measure audience exposure to media streams with a wireless isochronous data link. In one example, an apparatus includes a datastore, a network interface circuitry, and processor circuitry. The network interface circuitry obtains a first copy of audio data from a first wireless data link, the audio data transmitted from an audio source device, wherein a second copy of the audio data is transmitted, synchronously to the first copy of the audio data, to an audio sink device over a second wireless data link. The processor circuitry to instantiate data parsing circuitry to parse a media stream identifier from the first copy of the audio data and media identification assignment circuitry to assign the media stream identifier to an audio data log for the audio sink device.
