MPEG-H Audio, pioneered by Fraunhofer IIS, is an advanced audio solution tailored for the evolving demands of television and virtual reality (VR) environments. It enhances user experiences by delivering immersive 3D soundscapes and providing greater interactivity through personalizable features. For broadcasters, MPEG-H Audio offers a remarkably flexible setup, allowing for seamless integration with existing broadcasting systems while ensuring compatibility with various formats and platforms.
One of its standout features is the ability to adapt audio output to specific environments or user preferences, such as adjusting the volume of commentary during a sports broadcast or enhancing dialogue clarity in films. This is achieved through the system's object-based audio technology, enabling precise sound positioning and dynamic adjustments in real-time.
MPEG-H Audio also supports a wide range of operating environments, from high-definition TVs to intricate VR setups, including headsets and specialized sound systems. It is designed with forward compatibility in mind, which means it is well-prepared for integration with future audio advancements and standards. Across the globe, MPEG-H Audio is recognized as a key component for delivering high-quality audio experiences, emphasizing Fraunhofer IIS's leadership in audio technology innovation.
