Information theory can also be applied to loudspeakers, which are among the most difficult of transducers to design. Measuring the information capacity of loudspeakers is a useful tool.
Here we look at some practical results of transform theory that show up in a large number of audio and visual applications.
Machine learning is often compared to the human brain. But what do they really have in common?
We continue our series on Broadcast Audio Systems with a discussion about workflow with multi-award winner Robert Edwards. We look at general purpose workflows, and some considerations for different types of production across news, sports and chat shows. As the degree of complexity and stress ramps up as soon as a live audience is introduced, part two will look at more expansive light entertainment shows which have audiences, multiple presenters, bands and egos.
It’s been over 40 years since Genelec started life as a manufacturer of professional monitor loudspeakers, and I felt the urge to reflect on how much has changed in the broadcast world in that time, and yet how much the role of a good studio monitor has remained largely unchanged. After all, you’ve always used monitors to make judgements about the audio you’re working on, and to guide your actions to reach a point where you’re happy with the resulting mix – haven’t you?
IP broadcast infrastructures are delivering on their promise of flexibility and scalability. But as we progress on our IP journey, we are now discovering that an integrated monitoring system is essential.
While cloud-based, decentralized infrastructures are increasingly becoming an efficient way to produce and distribute live and pre-recorded television content, it all starts with a control room, physically located somewhere that must be staffed and sources managed with the utmost care. However it’s not only broadcasters, but also corporations, churches, and various industries that now distribute video feeds from live events still rely on production control rooms in their facilities.
Streamlining IP based production, virtualization of audio production technology and enabling immersive experiences for mainstream viewers are key themes at IBC 2022.
