31st
AES International Conference, 2007
"New Directions in
High Resolution Audio"
London, UK June 25-27, 2007
Call for papers
The 31st International Audio Engineering Society Conference, entitled "New Directions in High Resolution Audio", will be held at Queen Mary, University of London, from June 25th-27th, 2007.
This Conference is concerned with the promotion and delivery of high resolution audio, by maintaining quality throughout the recording and playback chain with current and future technologies. It reflects the tremendous recent growth of high resolution audio techniques and products intended for use throughout the audio recording and playback chain. However, issues remain on how to avoid bottlenecks where quality is compromised, and how to maintain and encourage high resolution audio in an everchanging marketplace. These concerns are of interest to the audio engineering, recording and production industries, as well as to education and academia.
We aim to provide a place for the exchange of news, issues and results, by bringing together researchers , developers, educators, students and professional users, working in fields that contribute to high resolution audio, to present original theoretical or practical work. It also serves as a discussion forum, provides introductory and in-depth information in specific domains, and showcases current products.
Domains and Topics
The 31st AES Conference solicits contributions to the field of high resolution audio, including, but not limited to, the following domains and topics:
High
resolution recording issues
• Bandwidth, sampling rate, dynamic resolution and spatial representation.
• Analog and digital recording equipment
Processing,
manipulation and preparation of high resolution signals
• High quality analog design
• A/D and D/A conversion
• Format and sample rate interconversions
• High-resolution signal processing, 1 to n bit paradigms
• Spatial audio, virtual and acoustic spaces, virtual image manipulation
Storage of
high resolution audio
• Current and future storage technology for high-density audio data
• Overview of high resolution consumer formats
• Copy protection
• Access speed, data reliability, bit packing and compression
• Professional archival formats and future-proofing
Electronic delivery of high resolution audio
• Network (wired and wireless) systems/delivery of high quality
audio content
• Current and future formats for streaming and file delivery of
high resolution audio
• Bandwidth
