Tutorial on Blu-ray Audio
The latest in our series of on-line tutorials is now available at http://www.aes.org/tutorials/ Blu-ray—The Next (And Only?) Chance for High Resolution Music Media was presented at the 126th Convention in Munich by Johannes Müller. Although originally presented as a workshop, it has considerable tutorial value for audio engineers interested in using Blu-ray as an audio delivery medium. The concept of utilizing Blu-ray as a pure audio format will be explained, and Blu-ray will be positioned as successor to both SACD and DVD-A. The operational functionality and the double concept of making it usable both with and without a screen will be explained. You can view a trailer of this presentation on YouTube. These tutorials are currently only available for viewing online and cannot be downloaded for offline viewing. Francis Rumsey, Online tutorials project manager
39th Conference Call For Papers
AES 39th International Conference, 2010 The AES 39th International Conference is dedicated to the field of audio forensics, exploring its history, current practices, and future challenges. Digital technology has revolutionized audio forensics, providing significant advances in audio recording, speech/signal processing, and analysis. However, the ever-expanding prevalence of multimedia devices in today’s society has resulted in a vast increase in types of recording formats, along with the availability of inexpensive, easy-to-use editing and manipulation software. These factors, together with the use of perceptual encoding techniques, pose significant challenges for the forensic processing and analysis of recordings, detection of forgeries and alterations, speech enhancement, and voice identification. The AES 39th Conference Committee invites submission of research and technical papers by January 20th. The Committee also invites presentations from forensic audio hardware and software vendors on their specific products, in the form of tutorial-demonstrations. These will not be published in the proceedings, but (given sufficient interest) a special session will be provided for authors describing their specific innovations and products. Tutorial studies will be presented prior to topics presented during the AES 39th Conference. This is to provide historical and practical perspective to the technical papers and workshops. High-quality audio and video support will be provided for presentations and laboratory demonstrations. Authors may submit proposals for papers, workshops, and tutorials. The full call for papers, including proposed topic areas, can be downloaded from http://www.aes.org/events/39/callforpapers.cfm
