MPEG-H Renderer Reference Guide#

Pro Tools Studio and Ultimate support MPEG-H Audio, enabling the creation of rich, immersive and interactive audio experiences. The MPEG-H Audio technology, developed by the Moving Picture Experts Group (MPEG) with core contribution by Fraunhofer IIS, lets you create multifaceted immersive experiences that span from custom entertainment to advanced accessibility features. At the core of MPEG-H Audio are powerful personalization capabilities, including interactive object positioning, adjustable dialogue levels, dynamic gain metadata for advanced ducking applications, customizable audio descriptions, and support for multiple languages. Features like Adaptive Background Attenuation (ABA) allow background sounds to be dynamically reduced in an automatic process to deliver personalized gain metadata to improve speech intelligibility, further enhancing accessibility. Creators can choose which elements remain fixed and which are user-adjustable, maintaining full control over their artistic intent while offering audiences a more engaging and tailored listening experience.

This Reference Guide will help you understand the features of the MPEG-H Renderer and explain how to create professional MPEG-H Audio productions.
