Involvement
● EBU Groups:
● FAR-BWF (BWF file, audio expertise)
● MIM-MM (EBU Core, metadata expertise)
What is the Audio Definition Model?
● Formalised way of describing audio for file
formats.
● Initial file format will be Broadcast WAV
(BWAV).
● Specified by EBUCore XML schema.
● Model can be used more generally.
● Aim to make it the primary description model for
as many formats as possible.
Future Multichannel Audio
● Channel based
● e.g. stereo, 5.1, 22.2
● Scene based
● e.g. Ambisonics
● Object based
● Audio objects with stationary or moving spatial
properties.
● Combinations of all three
Cooking with Audio!
● Audio Definition Model is like a shopping list of
ingredients.
● Each ingredient has a formal description.
● BWAV file is like a shopping bag containing the
actual ingredients.
● BWAV 'chna' chunk is like the bar-codes on each
item.
● The ADM is NOT the recipe though!
