Topic:

Digital Audio in Today’s Broadcast and Production Environment

George Wicker and Joe Wellman
Sigma Electronics

In the digital broadcast era, audio is no longer seen as the poor step-sister to the video content of the materials we produce. With multi-channel audio, a variety of broadcast standards and a large number of distribution channels, dealing with digital audio has become more problematic.

George Wicker and Joe Wellman of Sigma Electronics will present an outline of the different acceptable and proposed standards for AES/EBU and will discuss the benefits and problems associated with each.

Location:

MCSi
2975 Northwoods Blvd
Norcross, GA 30071

Directions:

I-285 to Peachtree Industrial Blvd.

News of Related Organizations:

The Peach State Chapter of the Society of Broadcast Engineers is reorganizing and plans to become more active. They now have a web site at www.broadcast.net/~sbe5/ where you can find more information.

The Order of the Iron Test Pattern has reorganized, with new levels of membership available such that those with as little as 15-minutes experience now qualify. The Order's Creed: "Through snow and glitches, dropouts, ghosts and now cliff-effect, we survive — undaunted." Those interested in the order can learn more at its web site.

Program Suggestions:

Is there a topic that you would like us to cover or want to present? Do you have new equipment or a facility you would like to show off?

We are always looking for hosts and presenters for our meetings.
