Using its Live Extreme Encoder, KORG will stream a live concert in AURO-3D 9.1 Immersive Audio and full 1080p high-resolution video on Feb. 28, 2024.

Tokyo, Japan. (February 20, 2024) – KORG, Inc.—creator of innovative and uncompromising instruments that inspire professional artists and creators—will stream a live concert from Japan to Los Angeles in a revolutionary streaming demo for the press and other key partners at 6 PM PST on February 28, 2024, at Deluxe Hollywood, Stage 5, 900 Seward Street in Los Angeles.

The first-of-its-kind demonstration will show how a live concert can be streamed with uncompressed audio and full 1080p video resolution via a complete end-to-end streaming ecosystem that includes KORG, AURO-3D, and the Artist Connection streaming platform.

The Performance

Organized by KORG with support from media company and TV broadcaster WOWOW, distributor Syntax Japan, and Genelec Japan, the concert will be held at the Hall of Halls, Kiyosato Moeginomura Museum (Yamanashi, Japan). This live one-hour performance called, “The Sound of the Previous Century Into the Future” will feature a marimba performance by Tatsushi Omori and Yoko Kamihara, performed with and accompanied by the early 20th century instruments such as the Chickering Ampico Grand Player Piano (the last unit in the world still maintained and playable) and the “Limonaire 1900” organ (from the Paris World Exposition in 1900).

The Technology Behind the Stream

The demonstration centers around KORG’s Live Extreme. This no-compromise encoding technology eliminates the need for compression and workarounds to deliver a bit-for-bit experience of any audio/video source, allowing audiences to hear every nuance of a performance. Live Extreme will use AURO-3D’s Auro-Codec real-time encoder to stream multi-channel 24bit/96kHz AURO-3D immersive audio, allowing for unprecedented streaming audio quality. Lossless audio will be paired with high-definition, H.264 1080p 15 Mbps streaming video for a stunning image at the Los Angeles Deluxe Hollywood live viewing location. 

The concert will also be streamed free to the public on the Artist Connection platform, which is the only streaming platform that delivers premium streams that marry immersive audio and high-res video. Artist Connection has native support for both the KORG Live Extreme Encoder and a built-in AURO-3D decoder. Public access will be limited to the first 100 viewers who register. To watch the event live, users can visit https://live-extreme.net/hall-of-halls-us. 

“KORG, Artist Connection, and AURO-3D work seamlessly to enable bit-for-bit streaming of both audio and video,” says Koji Oishi, Director of KORG Inc. “This level of quality in a live streaming application simply isn’t possible without our encoding capabilities, Artist Connection’s platform delivering the content to the end user in premium stream quality, and AURO’s unmatched immersive audio capabilities. All three show that it’s possible to deliver pristine sonic experiences with HD video using bandwidths that are available today.” 

“Technological limitations have thwarted the ability to stream immersive audio and high-res video in one stream,” says AURO-3D CEO Rudy Van Duppen. “Now, thanks to our partnerships with like-minded technological innovators Artist Connection and KORG Live Extreme, we can stream, in real-time, true H.264 1080p video married to uncompromised, lossless 24bit/96kHz AURO-3D immersive audio over the same public internet that the other music distribution services use to deliver lesser quality streams. We can’t wait to see the reaction from press and partners when they hear and see this steam live.”

NEWAURO and Eastech show exciting new technology that gives smart speakers the ability to recreate any signal in up to 7.1.4 channels of impressive virtual spatial audio.

Gooik, (BE) (January 3, 2024) – NEWAURO and Eastech announced today that they are collaborating to demonstrate AURO-Scene virtual immersive audio technology at CES 2024,  January 9–12, bringing smart speakers firmly into the immersive audio ecosystem.

In a first-of-a-kind demonstration, NEWAURO and Eastech will deliver an unparalleled spatial audio experience, reshaping how smart speaker listeners perceive sound in their environments. This exciting new virtual immersive audio technology from NEWAURO—demonstrated on Eastech smart speakers—creates an impressive immersive audio sound field with extended bass response from any signal on a single device, including soundbar speaker configurations from 2.0 to 5.1.2 and 3.1.1 smart speaker devices. Even standard stereo music can be transformed into a spatial audio experience. With this technology, smart speakers join soundbars, dedicated immersive audio home theater systems, and other devices as part of the immersive audio ecosystem.

“In bringing together Eastech and NEWAURO solutions, we are spearheading a technological revolution for streaming audio. This collaboration transcends mere audio component integration; it’s a visionary script for the future.

Gooik, (BE) (December 14, 2023) – AURO-3D® will showcase AURO-CX, the first and only truly scalable Next Generation Audio codec, during CES 2024, January 9–12, at The Venetian Hotel.

The AURO-CX Codec, designed for streaming but with applications in broadcast, has many advantages over existing Next Generation Audio codecs that make it desirable to the universe of content creators, content distributors, streaming services, and audio manufacturers. All these advantages are rooted in the codec’s inherent scalability, which means less storage space and fewer encoding passes, both of which save considerable time, manpower, and costs.

Perhaps most notable is that AURO-CX enables scalable quality, meaning a variety of resolutions—from lossless to transparent to lossy—are included within a single bitstream thanks to multiple audio waveform coding techniques. Similarly, AURO-CX has scalable sample rates that allow a single bitstream to carry 48, 96, and 192kHz, giving the decoder the option to extract only what it needs from a single encode, depending on its capabilities.

“Thanks to AURO-CX’s scalable quality, content distributors have the flexibility to address multiple audiences using the same stream. A single stream can include high-res immersive audio for the audiophile community and lower bitrate mixes for a wider consumer audience,” says Bert Van Daele, CTO of NEWAURO B.V. “Because AURO-CX is scalable, it is attractive to streaming services, which can make a single stream upgradeable for premium services. This is a powerful technology.”

AURO-CX also has the flexibility to transmit objects embedded in the same bitstream for immersive audio. “Other formats have to extract objects from 7.1, resulting in a big reduction in audio quality, especially for the height channels in an immersive audio setup,” says Van Daele. “AURO does it differently. We embed objects in 13.1 immersive so that the user’s 7.1 experience is more 3D due to higher-quality height information, allowing the mix to stay true to the artist’s intent and deliver to the end user what was heard in the studio.”

In addition, AURO-CX supports a wide range of flexible broadcast features such as dialogue enhancement and localized audio for multiple languages. It also enables interactive and assistive audio, where the quality of the immersive experience can be set higher than the additional audio tracks, guaranteeing the best immersive experience while providing better access to all.

To learn more about AURO-CX, demo the technology at CES 2024 at The Venetian, visit www.auro-3d.com, or contact sales@auro-3d.com.

 Gooik, (BE) (September 16th, 2023) AURO-3D®, the world leading immersive audio format, announced today the official launch of their collaboration with WOWOW Inc. Effective immediately viewers will be able to choose between regular stereo playback or the additional audio stream provided by WOWOW containing the Auro-Headphones® binaural mix. Used on two dedicated broadcasts on the 16^th of September and the 26^th of October 2023, the AURO-3D natively recorded shows will contain the original recorded multichannel immersive mix, which can now be played back over any pair of stereo headphones during broadcast.

The ancient traditional form of Japanese storytelling called “Rakugo” forms the basis for the broadcasts which allows the listener to be fully immersed into the story. Rakugo is a single performed, monologue by a Japanse storyteller who sits on stage on a raised platform, only using a paper fan and a small cloth, telling stories about multiple characters. The difference between the characters is depicted only through change in pitch, tone, and a slight turn of the head.

With the use of the Auro-Headphones® binaural stream, the audio will appear to the viewer as if he is present inside the theater allowing him to experience the story as intended by the storyteller. The Rakugo performance “Ningen Kowai” by Kyotaro Yanagiya can be viewed here; https://www.wowow.co.jp/detail/193464/-/01
