With the 119th AES Convention arriving at the Jacob Javits Convention
Center in New York City next month, convention broadcast chair David
Bialik reports that this year’s show will offer the most
broadcast-related events in the organization’s history, including a
panel focusing exclusively on HDTV. "Our Audio for HDTV panel (chaired
by PBS Director of Engineering, Andy Butler) will examine shifts and
advances in the evolution of this important technology," says Bialik.
Panelists Rocky Graham of Dolby Laboratories, Alan Kraemer (tbc) of SRS
and Geir Skaaden of Neural Audio, among others, will discuss critical
production, transmission and reception issues facing those who are or
will be transitioning to HDTV.
Also on tap are several tutorials, including "Mixing a Live Broadcast
In Surround," demonstrated by Mike Pappas and "Designing a Broadcast
Facility for 5.1," by Radio Magazine editor Chriss Scherer.
According to Bialik, a live performance of an audio drama, produced by
93-year-old live radio doyen Himan Brown, will cap the festivities. "
Himan is talking with some high-profile actors, and this production
promises to be an unforgettable experience," says Bialik.
