Recently, audio systems are changing the configuration of conventional sound reinforcement (SR) systems and public address (PA) systems by using audio over IP (AoIP), a technology that can transmit and receive audio signals based on internet protocol (IP). With the advancement of IP technology, AoIP technologies are leading the audio market and various technologies are being released. In particular, audio networks and control hierarchy over peer-to-peer (Anchor) technology based on AoIP is a system that transmits and receives audio signals over a wide bandwidth without an audio mixer, creating a novel paradigm for existing audio system configurations. Anchor technology forms an audio system by connecting audio sources and output equipment with On-site audio center (OAC), a device that can transmit and receive IP. Anchor's receiving OAC is capable of receiving and mixing audio signals transmitted from different IPs, making it possible to configure a novel audio system by replacing the conventional audio mixer. However, Anchor technology does not have the ability to provide audio effects to input devices such as microphones and instruments in the audio system configuration. Due to this, when individual control of each audio source is required, there is a problem of not being able to control the input signal, and it is impossible to individually affect a specific input signal. In this paper, we implemented a tone control module that can individually control the tone of the audio source of the input device using the audio processor core in the audio system based on Anchor technology, tone control for audio sources is possible through a tone control module connected to the transmitting OAC. As a result of the study, we confirmed that OAC receives the signal from the audio source, adjusts the tone and outputs it on the tone control module. Based on this, it was possible to solve problems that occurred in Anchor technology through transmitting OAC and tone control modules. In the future, we hope that the audio system configuration using Anchor technology will become established as the standard for audio equipment.

Although virtual reality technology may not be deemed as having a satisfactory quality for all users, it tends to incite interest because of the expectation that the technology can allow one to experience something that they may never experience in real life. The most important aspect of this indirect experience is the provision of immersive 3D audio and video, which interacts naturally with every action of the user. The immersive audio faithfully reproduces an acoustic scene in a space corresponding to the position and movement of the listener, and this technology is also called spatial audio. In this paper, we briefly introduce the trend of spatial audio technology in view of acquisition, analysis, reproduction, and the concept of MPEG-I audio standard technology, which is being promoted for spatial audio services.

The production and authoring of digital multimedia contents are most important fields in multimedia technology. Nowadays web-based technology and related multimedia software technology are growing in the IT industry and these technologies are evolving most rapidly in our life. The technology of digital audio and video processing is utilizing rapidly to improve quality of our life, Also we are more interested in high sense and artistic feeling in the music and entertainment areas by use of three dimensional (3D) digital sound technology continuously as well as 3D digital video technology. The service field of digital audio contents is increasing rapidly through the Internet. And the society of Internet users wants the audio contents service with better quality. Recently Internet users are not satisfying the sound quality with 2 channels stereo but seeking the high quality of sound with 5,] channels such as 3D audio of the movie films. But it might be needed proper hardware equipments for the service of 3D sound to satisfy this demand. In this paper, we expand the simple 3D audio generator developed and propose a web-based music bank by the software development of 3D audio generation player in 3D sound environment with two speakers minimizing hardware equipments, Also we believe that this study would contribute greatly to digital 3D sound service of high quality for music and entertainment mania.

In this paper, we first implement an audio playback system for virtual reality by providing 3D audio effects to listeners. In general, such a 3D audio playback system utilizes a sound localization technique using head related transfer function (HRTF) to generate 3D audio effect. However, the 3D audio effect is degraded due to the crosstalk in the stereo loudspeaker environment. To enhance the 3D sound effect, we implement the crosstalk cancellation technique proposed by Atal and Schroeder and apply it to the 3D audio system.

최근 부품기술 및 미디어 처리기술의 발전과 함께 HDTV를 이을 UHDTV 서비스가 곧 도래할 것이라는 예상이 기정사실화되고 있다. 이에 따라 HDTV에서 5.1채널 서라운드 사운드를 제공했던 오디오 기술도 UHDTV 시대의 도래와 함께 어떠한 서비스를 제공하여야 할지 고민하여야 할 시점에 와 있다. 그러나 현실은 HDTV의 5.1채널 사운드 포맷조차도 가정에서의 설치 및 유지의 어려움으로 인해 시장에서의 고전을 면치 못하고 있다. 한편, 영화 사운드 시장에서는 오랫동안 사용되고 있던 5.1, 7.1 채널 사운드 포맷이 돌비 ATMOS, IOSONO, AURO3D 등 천정 사운드와 객체기반 오디오를 포함하는 하이브리드 오디오 기술이 잇달아 도입되면서 일대 격변기를 맞이하고 있다. 이러한 객체기반 오디오 기술은 홈씨어터 및 방송 오디오 시장에서도 도입이 확실시되고 있는 실정이며, 이러한 오디오 기술의 변화는 유연성이 결여된 채널기반 오디오의 기술 발전 및 시장 성장의 활로를 개척하는 호기가 될 것으로 전망된다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 UHDTV 방송에 적합한 실감 오디오 기술에 대한 고찰과 이와 관련된 하이브리드 오디오 기술의 콘텐츠 포맷 및 가정에서의 재현 방안에 대해서 기술하고 향후 전망을 고찰해 보고자 한다.

The recent development of information and communication technology is also affecting audio/video systems used in industry. The audio/video device configuration system changes from analog to digital, and the network-based audio/video system control has the advantage of reducing costs in accordance with system operation. However, audio/video systems released on the market have limitations in that they can only control their own products or can only be performed on specific platforms (Windows, Mac, Linux). This paper is a study on a device (Network Audio Video Integrated Control: NAVICS) that can integrate and control multiple audio / video devices with different functions, and can control digitalized audio / video devices through network and serial communication. As a result of the study, it was confirmed that individual control and integrated control were possible through the protocol provided by each audio/video device by NAVICS, and that even non-experts could easily control the audio/video system. In the future, it is expected that network-based audio/video integrated control technology will become the technical standard for complex audio/video system control.
