Topic:
UNDERSTANDING THE PROCESSING DIFFERENCES BETWEEN DAB AND DRM
Abstract:
Before considering processing for DAB/DRM, the technical differences between the two mediums needs to be understood. The most obvious difference between the two is that DAB/DRM has a wider audio bandwidth of 20 kHz, as compared to FM-Analog, which only offers 15kHz response, due to a limitation of the FM-Stereo system that we use, or AM which normally offers response out to 5kHz.

Presenters:
Thomas Pierre
Xavier Lambrecht
Pierre Yves Wauthier
Topic:
ACOUSTIC DESIGN FOR CONTROL ROOM
Abstract:
From neutral to proactive listening conditions. Creating the sound field between your ears and the monitor is the goal. Our studies of reflection free zone and early sound scattering lead us to avoid first order reflection (i.e. desk) and create an enlarged trustful listening zone. The result is a better perception of accurate transients and full spectrum of sounds.

SURROUND RECORDING PLATFORM: HIGH SPATIAL RESOLUTION MULTICHANNEL RECORDING IN PRACTICE.
Abstract:
Trinnov Audio will present the Surround Recording Platform (SRP): a flexible and ergonomic digital processor dedicated to High Spatial Resolution (HSR) multichannel recording. This breakthrough system overcomes many limitations of today’s multichannel microphones. With the greatest of ease, it simultaneously achieves: - a wide listening area, - accurate tones, - perfect down-mix, - optimal use of the centre channel (and optionally LFE), - harmonious integration of panned sources, - true envelopment (phantom images over 360°), - pin-point phantom images, - efficient control of the reverberation, - robustness to post-processing. (Technical information in the paper: High Spatial Resolution Multichannel Recording.).

Topic:
EARTH, GROUND AND EMC
Abstract:
The European EMC Directive has been in force since January 1996, yet a very high percentage of audio equipment manufacturers seem unwilling to change their design structures to fully meet the constraints of the directive. This reluctance seems to be due to a general misunderstanding of the terms Earth, Ground and the fact that all electric currents flow in loops. This paper discusses the reasons why EMC design techniques improve signal integrity, reduce production/commissioning costs, and is based on seven years of practical EMC engineering from an audio perspective.

Topic:
IOSONO SPATIAL AUDIO WORKSTATION - CONTENT PRODUCTION FOR WAVE FIELD SYNTHESIS
Abstract:
Wave Field Synthesis (WFS) permits the reproduction of a sound field, which fills nearly the whole reproduction room with correct localization and spatial impression. Because of its properties, the WFS technology shows enormous potential to create innovative content for many purposes. In order to produce sound scenes using this technology, the IOSONO Spatial Audio Workstation (SAW) has been developed. IOSONO SAW gives audio engineers the possibility to mix sound by mapping sound sources to desired locations in the reproduction room, rather than to specifying playback channels. SAW automates the process of positioning sound sources taking several ergonomics and technical features into account. This seminar presents an overview of the Wave Field Synthesis technology, the production workflow as well as the IOSONO SAW capabilities showing future developments and applications.

LOGDEPOT 4: METADATA, RESEARCH AND PHONETIC SEARCH MODULES
Abstract:
Arbor presents a complete new concept for logging and archive disclosure, based upon her LogDepot product. In the new concept, metadata logging is fully integrated into the system. This metadata ranges from RDS or DAB info, via Mic Skimming and Program Information to current Speaker/language information. The metadata is web-based available to the user. The unique phonetic search module, which allows users to search in existing audio streams with a speed of almost 100.000 x real-time, is the missing link for every organization that has a large audio/video archive but not enough content information or enough manpower.
