Abstract:
4k and 8k UHD broadcasting and streaming is edging beyond standards creation and quickly becoming ubiquitous, with a more than tenfold increase in consumer product over the past year. NHK and U.S. broadcasters are on the air with ATSC 3.0 and Super Hi-Vision experimental transmitters, while cable and satellite providers are already delivering movies and sports; from Super bowl 50, The Master’s Tournament, and the Summer Games. Immersive 3D and object oriented audio adds a striking polish to wider visual resolution, gamut, and dynamic range. This session has been very popular in past years and we have another group of impressive speakers from the myriad facets of audio production and delivery.
