WORKSHOP SESSIONS
Workshop W12
When two-channel stereo recording began more than fifty years ago
the techniques proposed by Alan Blumlein and others, were based
on academic considerations. However, today�s multichannel surround
systems often seem to spring from almost casual experiment,
with little obvious theoretical basis. Have we accepted too quickly
the arrangements favoured by the film and video industry, for
reproducing music in the home?
Workshop W13
An understanding of multi-modal perceptual interaction is vital for
the successful implementation of engineering guidelines and design
factors. This workshop will bring together professionals from the
research and professional application communities to help define
relevant areas and methodologies, and to enlighten audience
members to the significant issues of this important field. Audience
interaction with the panel will be encouraged.
Workshop W14
Speech coding and perceptual audio coding are used in many applications
today. The need to use perceptual audio measurement is the
logical consequence. This workshop focuses on standards available
to evaluate the perceived quality of coded speech and audio signals.
Applications from telecommunication, network planning, monitoring
in a broadcasting environment, quality assurance and measurement-
aided-listening are presented. The panelists of this workshop
have been involved in the standardisation process in ITU-T
and ITU-R, are manufacturers of measurement equipment and/or
are using such equipment in their daily work.
