Organizers of Pro Audio & Radio Tech Summit reported strong pre-registration for the free event. And Radio World announced a number of new participants in the discussion.

Here is a summary of the extended radio recording, which is still subject to the latest additions. It now includes:

Greetings: Editors’ round table – The editors of Mix, Pro Sound News and Radio World will discuss the latest trends and emerging technologies in professional audio and radio, including virtualization, remote workflows, podcasting, digital technology and more to open the agenda.

Trends in AoIP – Edwin Bukont of E2 Technical Services, Michael LeCler of WBUR Boston and Chris Crump of Comrex are exploring current issues and “what’s next” now that AoIP has become well-received in the industry.

Radio Basics: Hybrid Radio and Android Cars – David Lyre of NAB PILOT takes the wheel behind the wheel of the new Audi A4 to show what Audi’s hybrid radio platform looks like, and his colleague John Clark explains why radio managers need to know what’s going on with Android Automotive OS to create more powerful, modern infotainment systems.

Construction of a virtual air circuit – Radio World returns to the topic of a very popular recent ebook with a discussion of the meaning and consequences of a “virtual air chain” and what it will mean for radio. Roz Clark of Cox Media Group, Philippe Generali of RCS, Alan Jurison of iHeartMedia and Greg Shay of Telos Alliance share their experiences.

Critical trends in the show – Geoff Mendenhall of Mendenhall Engineering, John Kean of Cavell Mertz & Associates, Jeff Welton of Nautel and Ashruf El-Dinary of Xperi talk to RW Editor-in-Chief Paul McLane about the impact of DTV spectrum packaging on the radio, the discovery of all digital as an option for AM band, ATSC 3.0 audio streams, transport of FM composite mainband via IP networks, growing interest in single frequency networks and the possible impact of hybrid radio.

Get the most out of your station’s streams – Attendees will hear from veteran engineer and streaming expert David Bialick about volume and upcoming AES guidelines, as well as the use of metadata and the importance of sound processing. Then there was John Pasmore of New York Public Radio, who recently set out to upgrade his digital streaming architecture to create more efficient, cost-effective, and better-sounding streaming audio. John will talk about lessons learned and key considerations in building a streaming architecture for public radio.

The radio also includes a presentation by Jay Tyler and Jeff Keith of Wheatstone, discussing new directions in digital audio signal processing; and Nautel’s Philip Schmid presentation on software-defined radio and cloud.

This is all in addition to professional audio podcasting sessions, worship projects, music studio networks and other topics.

Registration for the summit is free. The event will take place on April 1 and will be available to registrants on request for 30 days thereafter.
