another ftp test . .  test 111 ftp Walter Murch Presents Richard C. Heyser Memorial Lecture . .  Inspired by the recent discovery of Edison's first sound film (circa 1894), Academy Award-winning film editor/sound mixer Walter Murch will present a thought-provoking assessment of the technical and cultural implications of early cinema sound technology at the AES Convention Richard C.

They have been working with the Fraunhofer Institute in Germany (one of the developers of MP3 and MPEG AAC perceptual audio codecs) and Agere Systems on a new "coded discrete" system. The system takes 5.1 music and converts it into a form that can be broadcast within the 96kbps bandwidth of HD Radio's FM system. It does this by generating a stereo compatible downmix of the 5.1 audio as well as a "surround side channel" that contains the information necessary to convert the stereo downmix back to a 5.1 Surround Sound broadcast. Very interesting as it could help build interest in the surround capabilities of the new audio carriers DVD-A and SACD.
