Abstract:
High quality audio communications is becoming interesting and important in a variety of applications. Examples are high quality video conferencing, increasingly also with multichannel capability, or even wave field synthesis technology; applications with next generation wireless networks like UMTS or 3GPP, 3GPP2; in-studio communications, musicians playing together over long distances, or wireless connections of speakers or microphones. In all those applications a very low end-to-end processing and transmission delay is important, such that traditional audio coders, for instance, cannot be used. This Workshop will provide an overview over the state-of-the-art of existing technologies and give an insight about possible future developments, by bringing together leading experts in this promising new field.
