- Abstract
- Recent advances in cinema audio continue to bring more lifelike experiences to theater audiences. These advances are also driving a more global transformation and are poised to enable a richer experience in the living room and on the go. This paper proposes several practical methods that enable accessible, immersive, and personalized experiences from production through playback across broadcast, cable, satellite, internet protocol television, and over-the-top platforms.

bio
Jeffrey Riedmiller is senior director of the Sound Group in the Office of the CTO at Dolby Laboratories in San Francisco, CA, where he leads a team of creative researchers and technology visionaries responsible for driving the evolution of Dolby’s long-term technology vision and master roadmap for sound and related media ecosystems. Riedmiller’s professional career in audio, broadcast and electronics engineering spans 26 years. Joining Dolby in 1998, he worked extensively on the design, development and launch of multichannel audio for over 80 digital cable and satellite television services throughout North America. He is also the visionary creator of several revolutionary technology and product innovations that have become the foundation of how television loudness is estimated and controlled worldwide today. Riedmiller is an active member of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), Society of Cable Telecommunications Engineers (SCTE) and its Standards Committees. He holds several patents and has authored and presented several technical papers for the Audio Engineering Society (AES), National Association of Broadcasters (NAB), Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), National Cable Telecommunications Association (NCTA), and SMPTE.Sripal Mehtabio
Sripal Mehta is principal architect, broadcast at Dolby Laboratories. His focus is the innovation, development and deployment of next generation audio. Mehta has spent 15 years at Dolby working in the areas of professional audio, digital cinema security and playback, and most recently, object-based immersive and personalized audio for the cinema and home. As a member of SMPTE, he has authored two digital cinema standards and has chaired the digital cinema security subcommittee. Mehta holds bachelor’s and master’s degrees in electrical and computer engineering from Carnegie Mellon University.Nicolas Tsingosbio
Nicolas Tsingos designed and prototyped the authoring and rendering tools for the Dolby Atmos cinema technology and the spatial coding tools for Dolby Atmos content delivery to the home. Tsingos received a Ph.D. in computer science from the Joseph Fourier University in Grenoble, France. He has more than 15 years of research experience in computer graphics, interactive audio rendering and acoustic simulation. In addition to his current position at Dolby Laboratories, Nicolas holds a tenure research position at INRIA - the French National Institute for Computer Science—and previously was a member of the technical staff at Bell Laboratories.Prinyar Boonbio
