AES Technical Committee
Sound for Digital Cinema and Television (Formative)
Chair: Brian McCarty (Send E-mail) Chair: Julius Newell (Send E-mail) Forum: Committee Discussion Forum
During the 131st Convention meeting of the Audio Engineering Society Technical Council, a new formative Technical Committee was launched - Audio for Digital Cinema and Television. The committee is being led by Hollywood sound technician Brian McCarty, with engineering guidance being provided by Dr. Floyd Toole.
The Technical Committee will study current audio reproduction standards for Digital Cinema and Television, which may benefit from revision in the light of current knowledge, reproduction systems and listening space acoustics. There is also a need to establish better compatibility with television distribution methods including Blu-ray and 3D Television, and to attempt to unify the approaches to reproducing music and cinema/TV sound. In the past audio reproduction for cinema and TV was treated somewhat differently to other types of reproduction. However it is possible that these differences no longer apply so clearly and there is a motivation to integrate multiple types of audio reproduction under common standards.
