Immersive and personalized audio workflows are now ubiquitous in the industry and finally breaching into consumer delivery; not just through cable TV and streaming but also over consumer broadcast channels. 

Whether to a personal device in binaural through headphones, or to a multichannel home theater playout system, advanced transmission systems are now up and running to deliver the excitement and realism of a three-dimensional playback space with relative ease, carrying metadata to adapt to any listening environment. 

ATSC 3.0, Hi-Vision 22.2, and Mpeg-H have shot beyond theory and are now up and running in approaching 100 transmitters in cities and countries around the world. 

Again, AES brings you the world’s foremost experts on the subject as they bring us up to speed on the very exciting milestones bested over the past year.
