The ATSC 3.0 television standard brings far more audio options than stereo and 5.1 surround. We’ll also have object-based audio as part of the immersive audio experience. Yes, audio plays a huge role in ATSC 3.0 TV. Video content creators will need to consider individualized audio options for their viewers, including “home” and “away” sports announcers, alternate languages, and perhaps even a “peanut gallery” mic for “insightful” commentary!
