Presenters:

Abstract:
• Distribution Techniques for Radio
• New audio coding systems along with HDTV
• Metadata transfer along with live PCM surround sound
This tutorial will include an overview of new distribution systems for audio broadcasting from implementation, frequency planning, and market perspectives. Digital Audio Broadcasting has recently adopted a second generation family of standards. These developments aim at introducing streaming video and multimedia services combined with the originally planned radio service. DAB IP data broadcasting is being aligned with other new wireless distribution systems such as DMB and DVB-H, transmitted to handheld devices. This will enable interoperability between mobile networks and widens the scope of DAB.
New audio formats for surround sound along with the introduction of HD-TV over the air and in the new HD-DVD and Blue-Ray disc formats will be presented. Improved metadata solutions for loudness control will be covered, as well as transfer of content metadata through the broadcasting chain from production to the consumer.
