NAB Show To Tackle Next-Gen TV Audio

With the FCC’s adoption last week of a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking that ultimately will lead to voluntary ATSC 3.0 over-the-air transmission, broadcasters attending the NAB Show next month who focus on audio will have multiple opportunities to get more familiar with object-based audio features like personalization and immersive sound and many chances to see and hear Dolby’s AC-4 audio codec in action.

ATSC 3.0 Audio: Competitive Edges Sharpen

The process for determining which of the competing audio formats will become ATSC 3.0, the next-generation standard for broadcast sound in the U.S., has revealed a sharper edge in recent weeks. Since both the MPEG-H Audio Alliance and Dolby Labs, which is backing its AC-4 codec, demonstrated their respective formats at an ATSC event in Atlanta in July, the science has been taking a back seat to increasingly aggressive marketing tactics.

Solving The Problem Of Bad Mobile Audio

In this new multiplatform world, there is no single place to go to fix the problem of loud ambient noise on movile DTV. While TV broadcasters, like other content distributors going over the top to reach smartphones and tablets, will benefit from various developments, work being done on a next-generation digital TV standard supporting everything from ultra-HD to small, mobile receivers is more promising. “Adapting loudness and dynamic range to suit the capabilities and limitations of varied devices and multiple listening environments is a must for the audio technology that is chosen for [ATSC] 3.0,” says ATSC’s Mark Richer.
