Interchange Formats for Spatial audio
نویسنده
چکیده
Space has been a central parameter in electroacoustic music composition and performance since its origins. Nevertheless, the design of a standardized interchange format for spatial audio performances is a complex task that poses a diverse set of constraints and problems. This position paper attempts to describe the current state of the art in terms of what can be called “easy” today, and what areas pose as-yet unsolved technical or theoretical problems. The paper ends with a set of comments on the process of developing a widely useable spatial sound interchange format.

متن کاملTowards a uniform management of multimedia presentations with MHEG
While for monomedia content categories like text, graphic, images, audio and video, numerous encoding formats exist for interchange of data between applications, there are almost none such formats for whole multimedia presentations including layout, interaction, contextual and behavioral aspects. The international standard MHEG is one of the few attempts in that direction. After outlining the b...
