New Paths for Immersive Music Streaming: Channel-based and High Resolution

Thursday May 28, 2026 1:30pm - 3:00pm CEST

Aud 49

Streaming of immersive audio is known to western audiences almost exclusively in the object-based format, Atmos, developed by Dolby and employing lossy codecs to limit bit rates. Other object-based formats like Sony 360 have had limited success, and until recently there were no channel based streamed versions. But this situation is changing, as it has already done in Japan. Responding to growing...

Objective Quality Models for Decision-Making in Speech Coding

Friday May 29, 2026 9:00am - 11:00am CEST

Foyer Building 303A

Objective quality evaluation is widely used in speech coding, yet objective estimates often show limited agreement with subjective listening-test results. Rather than focusing on absolute score accuracy, this paper evaluates objective speech quality models from a decision-making perspective, defined as their ability to support comparative judgments between speech codecs or codec configurations. A...

Binaural audio is fundamental to delivering immersive spatial audio, however traditionally playback has been limited to headphones. A combination of cross-talk cancellation (CTC) technology and beamforming allows for binaural audio playback over loudspeaker arrays by focusing sound exactly at the listener’s ears. This enables binaural audio to be reproduced using just compact loudspeaker arrays...
