T14 - Object-Based Broadcasting—The Future of Broadcasting?
Presenter:Chris Baume, BBC Research and Development - London, UK; University of Surrey - Guildford, Surrey, UK
Abstract:
The audio research group at BBC R&D has for the past four years been developing the next generation of audio for broadcast. Working with academic partners in the BBC Audio Research Partnership, the group has created novel audience experiences based on new forms of audio content representations. This work has led to the launch of large-scale funded projects involving a significant number of researchers and international industrial partners. This talk will outline a number of public trials around object-based audio and binaural experiences which demonstrates the potential future of broadcast. The talk will focus on the audience experience, but will also detail the technological challenges from a content provider perspective.
