Why:
Surround Sound continues to be a challenging (and frustrating) issue for the vast majority of the sports production community. Mixers are figuring out how to mix 5.1 channels of audio effectively in a remote production truck while those at the broadcast center are struggling with ensuring loudness levels are properly set to deliver a quality experience to viewers. SVG Sponsor Dolby Laboratories hosts this informative seminar that will include real-world experiences from some of the industry’s top audio professionals.
