At the annual 4K HDR Summit, international stakeholders meet to advance 4K, HDR, and Next Generation Audio in Spain. This year, Fraunhofer IIS will present a complete DVB-T2 live broadcast chain that highlights the benefits of MPEG-H Audio. It features a set-top-box by VBox Communications that is already widely available as well as the Laguna Media Processor (LMP) by SAPEC.

Many features of MPEG-H Audio shine in sports broadcast, which is why a second demonstration at the Fraunhofer booth focuses on live production for sports events with a live chain set up in partnership with Ateme. Production with the MixAIr by Salsa Sound shows how to enhance the viewers’ experience while keeping production effort to a minimum. This, as well as encoding with the Ateme Titan, will take place in Erlangen, Germany. The stream is then sent via AWS and received in Málaga.

Globo, Brazil’s largest media company, has used sports in their extensive trials to get up to speed with benefits of the mandatory audio codec of Brazil’s new TV infrastructure, TV 3.0. A keynote by Carlos Cosme of Globo will provide insights in past and current projects.
