Founded in 1948, the Audio Engineering Society has been shaping professional audio standards for almost 80 years. We chart its rise and uncover how its standards are developed and acquired.
Metadata tagging is easily overlooked but essential for managing audio assets throughout a production workflow. Here we offer practical guidance on embedding and converting metadata across common audio file formats.
HE-AAC builds on the foundations of AAC to deliver near CD-quality audio at bitrates as low as 32 kbps, making it the codec of choice for mobile TV, digital radio and low-bandwidth streaming. This guide unpacks the key technologies behind its efficiency gains.
AAC succeeded MP3 by delivering better quality at lower bitrates. This guide examines how it works, compares the leading encoder implementations, and explains where it sits within the broader MPEG audio standards landscape.
Launched in 1995, MP3 remains one of the most ubiquitous audio formats in the world. This guide explains how psychoacoustic compression works, explains the differences between MPEG-1 and MPEG-2 implementations, and finds out where MP3 works – and where it doesn’t.
Cosmonova Broadcast has released an update to COSMO | PLAYOUT, its channel origination and operations service, embedding content localisation as a native operational layer.
Riedel Communications provided a fully integrated communications and commentary solution for the 15th National Games of China, supporting 56 competition venues and four International Broadcast Centers (IBCs) across Guangdong, Hong Kong, and Macao. Over the 30-day event, the system operated without interruption, enabling seamless coordination for 56 broadcasting teams and 39 ultra-high-definition productions.
Effective transcoding has become increasingly critical in the streaming era, with mobile ratcheting up the complexity and range of target platforms even further. The range of options is greater than ever, with cloud, edge, and on premise-based offerings, and multiple combinations of all three.
