Object Based Audio for immersive and interactive contents is now taking off in Europe thanks to close collaborations between EBU members and NGA industrials. With the participation of such panelists, this workshop will highlight the lessons learnt from 3 major use-cases:
• A live sport event: the 2019 Roland Garros tennis tournament, where object-based audio is used to create simultaneous audio versions at the same time
• A live music event: the 2019 Eurovision Song Contest, where NGA offers multiple languages and musical mix versions on the receiver side
• A live musical tour of electronic music, where 20 dynamic objects from the DJ set fly over the crowd thanks to a 360 sound reinforcement system, together with a binaural broadcasting on radio
• An Audio programmes collection containing dramas and documentaries produced with object-based technologies, allowing versatile renderings from Stereo FM Broadcasting to binaural and multichannel streaming, WFS equipped venues and movie theater broadcast
