The DTV Audio Group has finalized its forum program for the 2013 AES Show (Oct. 17-19) at New York's Javits Center. Scheduled for 2:30-6 p.m. on Friday Oct. 18, Audio Production and Distribution in an Evolving Television Delivery Landscape is intended to explore the opportunities and challenges presented by advanced encoding schemes and to debate whether ubiquitous mobile and over-the-top content delivery demands a retrenchment to more-limited audio or could lead to further audio advances. The discussion will also address the long-term implications of mobile data's inevitable annexation of available broadcast spectrum and the resulting impact on wireless production and will once again revisit the challenges of producing multichannel music for television.
The transition from traditional broadcasting to a largely stream-based model opens up a lot of possibilities but potentially adds to confusion as different entities pursue a range of formats and encoding solutions, says DTV Audio Group Executive Director Roger Charlesworth. The demand for more-sophisticated interactive and object-oriented services on next-generation streaming appliances and the transition to streaming of highly sophisticated cinema formats at the very high end are directly at odds with the common perception that television audio now needs to be dumbed down for mobile and desktop streaming. This disconnect between competing visions creates a strategic dilemma for content producers who are looking for universal delivery standards and workflow practices across a range of delivery platforms.
He further tells SVG that the transition to streaming brings up interesting and challenging questions: What is the vision for broadcast audio as television goes over-the-top and mobile? Is this an opportunity for enhancement? Does the agility of streaming platforms allow for more-sophisticated interactive, object-oriented surround formats, and can surround virtualization play an important role in bringing a more immersive experience to mobile users?
Those questions and others will be addressed by panels with considerable technical star power. After a keynote address by SVG Chairman Tom Sahara, VP of operations and technology, Turner Sports, the forum will offer the following panels:
