Abstract:
No single area of media distribution is developing as quickly and with as much agility as Over-the-Top (OTT) Television. New media formats (such as 4K video) are typically making their first appearances there, so it could be expected that the immersive and personalized features of Next-Generation Audio (NGA) services for television sound may also debut in the OTT world. Meanwhile, current challenges of interoperability and loudness management in OTT TV still require some sorting out. Find out the latest on audio in today’s and tomorrow’s OTT TV environment, from experts currently working on solutions in this dynamic session, which will also report on development of AES Guidelines for audio practices in OTT TV and online video services.
