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.

The ATSC TG3 Technology Group voted May 2 to elevate the A/342 audio standard — both AC-4 and MPEG-H AA audio — to ATSC 3.0 Candidate Standard status, an ATSC spokesman confirmed today.

Even though the German research institute came out on the losing side of the battle between it and Dolby to be the audio standard for the ATSC 3.0 in the U.S., it’s won over South Korea and is pushing hard elsewhere around the globe.

The Dolby AC-4 audio format has been recommended by the group testing candidate ATSC 3.0 audio systems to be the new next-generation TV audio standard for the United States.

Television is on the cusp of major changes that will give viewers the ability to personalize their TV audio experience and ultimately even immerse themselves in sound as a new standard for television becomes a reality. Two other developments likely to be center stage at next month’s NAB Show in Las Vegas are acceleration of a transition from baseband to IP transport of media on the production side of the equation, and preparation for a new era of wireless-enabled audio acquisition.

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.

Together, audio over IP and ATSC 3.0 audio are likely to leave TV engineers attending this year’s NAB Show with new insights into just what is possible when it comes to television sound: an immersive, viewer-customizable experience that offers broadcasters lower costs, increased flexibility and fast and simple routing. This is the latest installment of a special series on emerging tech trends, NAB Hot Topics, that will appear each week leading up to the NAB Show that runs April 11-16 in Las Vegas. Next up on April 2 is Automation, followed by a Tech Roundtable on April 9. Read the earlier installments here.

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.
