The Challenge:
Project Challenge Proposed by: d&b solutions & Strathclyde University
Supported by Champions: EBU, Kings College London, TV2, University of Kent, Music Venue Trust, Royal Central School of Speech and Drama
Participants: d&b solutions, Spectral Compute Ltd, Salsa Sound
In a world where live performances include dynamic visual canvases powered by real-time engines, spatial/object-based audio, and complex lighting and tracking data, this project aims to develop a solution for delivering all data between venues - in sync and with 5G to unlock ultra-low latencies and enable synchronised and/or distributed performances between multiple locations connected by public internet.
This Accelerator Challenge will also aim to recreate the experience of a live performance in multiple locations or bring together remote performers into a seamless and immersive live experience. The potential role of private 5G networks will also be explored in that solution for capturing and distributing data. There are also close connections to world-leading music & theatre venues, rights owners and well as world-leading artists that the team will leverage throughout the cycle.
The POC Objectives:
-
Explore the role of private 5G networks to harness the power of live object-based audio and acoustic emulation in multiple, live music performances
-
Define new methods for the acquisition and distribution of data in live events
-
Minimise latency at every step of the chain
-
Develop ways to synchronise the full spectrum of AVLM control data
-
Explore the role of real-time engines & cloud infrastructure to connect experiences
