Location: Zoom virtual Meeting (5pm Central European Time / Germany time zone)
Moderated by: Dr Elena Shabalina
Speaker(s): Yannik Grewe, Christian Simon
MPEG-H Audio is a next-generation audio technology for immersive and personalized sound, which has been significantly developed at Fraunhofer IIS in Erlangen. Based on the MPEG-H-3D audio standard, viewers are offered a range of personalization features in addition to 3D audio. This allows viewers to customize audio content to their own preferences, for example in terms of language selection or speech intelligibility.
MPEG-H Audio enables universal delivery of audio content, which allows different formats and devices to be optimally played with just one production. This is achieved by providing metadata that is defined during production and offers broadcasters flexible control of interaction options.
In this webinar, we take a closer look on the available tools for production of object-based audio and present some interesting interactive and immersive next generation audio use cases.
