The role of transmission processing in loudness management and CALM Act compliance: Can DTV-audio quality survive the stampede to excessive processing? Can compliant “good” content escape being altered along with “bad”?

The long-term impact of surround virtualization: Will advanced surround-headphone technology alter the format equation for mobile? What will be the impact of next-generation soundbars and wireless interconnection on the home listening environment?

Evolving metadata and encoding landscape: How are we coping with the Twenty-first Century Video and Communications Accessibility Act? What is in the pipeline to address the limitations of current standards? Is there a future for alternate-language distribution? How are codecs and meta-data schemes evolving? Will cinema’s transition to object-oriented mixing find its way to television?

Production challenges and opportunities: What is the status of the transition to 5.1 for live production? Are broadcasters winning the battle for training and standardized practices? Is production infrastructure keeping up? What is the impact of emerging technology on production and acquisition strategies?
