AES Amsterdam 2008
Workshop W5

Saturday, May 17, 13:30 — 15:30
W5 - SPATIAL AUDIO AND SOUND DESIGN IN SPORTS

Chair:
Gerhard Stoll, IRT - Munich, Germany
Panelists:
Dennis Baxter, Sound for the Olympics
Andrea Borgato, Dolby Laboratories
Hans Huber, IRT
Ales Koman, Slovenia TV

Abstract:
Sports productions are a great platform for the combination of HDTV and multichannel audio, i.e., the combination of "best picture and best sound." Since audio has a very high impact on the emotions of the viewer, in particular in the case of very good pictures, more and more attention should be paid to a stimulating sound design, which conveys a major part of the tension in a sport event. The forthcoming Euro 2008, the Beijing 2008 Summer Olympics, and the Vancouver 2010 Winter Olympics will be important examples for bringing exciting sound together with crisp pictures to the home. The applied techniques
range from special microphones and according placement to the use of additional sound effects with samplers, etc., as well as the specific issues of crowd pickup in surround sound. The panelists will explain and discuss their ideas to provide new tools for the production and design of exciting sound in sports.
