Linear Acoustic Founder Brings Expertise To AES

The President and founder of Linear Acoustic, Tim Carroll - whose firm is a leader in television audio control from production to transmission - will share his industry insights during two panels at AES 2010, between November 4 and 7 in San Francisco, California.
Carroll will address the audio issues facing broadcasters today in panels titled Innovations in Digital TV and Loudness, Metadata and Other Concerns for DTV.
Carroll said: "I'm honoured to be part of the AES Broadcast Sessions again. In the last five years, we've focused on loudness solutions, surround sound issues, and standardising efforts. So, where do we stand now? This discussion is just getting started. And with the rapid expansion of mobile and IPTV, we have plenty of solutions to talk about. I look forward to the dialogue."
Respected as one of the foremost experts on broadcast audio, Carroll was instrumental in the development of AC-3, Dolby E and Dolby Surround products while at Dolby Laboratories. He founded Linear Acoustic to provide innovative new industry solutions, and today the company's AERO.air, AERO.qc, L.A.M.B.D.A.-II, and UPMAX -II products are standard in many top broadcast facilities. New Linear Acoustic products AERO.mobile and AERO.file are now leading the way in expanding DTV technologies.
Carroll has been recognised for his industry achievements with multiple awards, including two National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences Prime Time Emmy awards.
At AES 2010, Carroll will first share his perspective on new technologies in mobile TV, IPTV, and non-real time delivery of programme material in a Broadcast Session, Innovations in Digital TV, scheduled for Thursday, November 4 at 11:30am. Carroll and other panel members will discuss current concepts and options involved in the effort to advance digital television to the next level.
On a second panel, Loudness, Metadata, and other Concerns for DTV, scheduled for November 5 at 11am, Carroll will offer his vast expertise to a discussion on audio challenges facing broadcasters. And, as an active member of the audio engineering community and an AES, IEEE, SMPTE, SBE and ATSC member, Carroll will also share his insight on the latest developments in government mandated loudness control regulation.
