Folks: This is one of the "standard" approaches to technical standards nowadays. Get everyone interested to step up and pay-to-pay, divide up the issues, hire a professional association manager (i.e. Florencia Dazzi is with Assoc. Mgmt. Solutions.), etc . . . and give away the specifications. The goal is to have something for the home theater receiver DSP coders to aim at (whereas back when I was involved with IEEE 802 it was for the chip designers). The coders will make money selling microcode, Onkyo et al will make money selling receivers, Holophone et al will make money selling microphones and so on. Clearly there needs to a HEIGHT addition to 5.1, since 3D video is the only available NBT (Next Big Thing) for home video. The TVs are here and the studios are ready to rock-and-roll. 3D sports and music are a "no-brainer." Btw, this is why I have been asking about Z-AXIS -- which seems to have been MAG's keen interest all along -- on this list for the past year+. As you might recall, the list has had little to say. <g> Since there is apparently NO company with a stake in Ambisonics, who will pay-to-pay on behalf of Ambisonics?

Dear "sursound fellows" A technique journalist (and friend of mine) has sent me a link, which is relevant to this list: http://www.3daa.org/index.html I believe that this "3D Audio Alliance" will announce a lot more at the CES 2011 (trade fairy). Currently, there is even no member list (Uli wrote this, important point!), which means that this is something at early stage. On the other hand, the audio standard will be "object based", not "speaker based". (I am using < their > terminology. Is a sound field an "object"? Probably not...) Is anybody involved in this project here? The description could fit to Ambisonics, but they do not mention < any > technical details. The first specifications "is expected to be released in Q2 of 2012". Best, Stefan P.S.: I have recommended to use the word "3D Audio" even some years ago, for mere marketing reasons... ;-) -------- Original Message -------- Subject: 3DAA | Audio Alliance Date: Wed, 22 Dec 2010 08:47:31 +0100 From: Uli Loehneysen <loehney...@aol.com> To: Stefan Schreiber <st...@mail.telepac.pt> http://www.3daa.org/index.html Keine Angaben über Mitglieder . . .
