iMP presents two novel works on audio processing, work carried out by Barcelona Media:
G. Cengarle, T. Mateos, D. Bonsi, A second order Ambisonic device using velocity transducers Accepted for publication as a regular paper in the Journal of the Audio Engineering Society.
Abstract: The relation between sound pressure gradient and air particle velocity is exploited to [...]

This document describes the novel audible applications developed during the first 12 months of the project, and discusses how they integrate in the general iMP architecture and philosophy. The document is divided in three parts.
The first part describes the novel post-production tools for 3D soundtracks that make use of the metadatabase. This prototype allows [...]

The conform process is an essential part of post production, and provides both an excellent test case for a metadatabase driven workflow and a basis for the development of the concept of the virtual film factory. A new conform prototype within the existing Baselight application was developed to explore the benefits and optimal architecture for [...]

The prototype version of a metadatabase driven browser/viewer is described, including its architecture within a distributed image server environment. Taking advantage of instant access to content metadata, the high i/o and processing bandwidth of the image  and the wide scope for parallelism, it is possible to use the visual representation of lists of shots in [...]

This deliverable presents an overview of the initial adaptation of UPF’s existing 3D graphics framework for use with the putative iMP architecture. The novel work for this deliverable centered on the creation of a system for real-time streaming of video sequences, stored in a local database, as textures to various objects within a 3D environment.
