Unlocking next generation audio production with MPEG-H on AWS

This article explains how to implement Next Generation Audio (NGA) production workflows using MPEG-H Audio on AWS, enabling interactive and immersive audio experiences at scale.

• MPEG-H Audio enables viewers to adjust dialogue, select commentary, and personalize audio within single streams
• Object-based audio preserves individual sound elements with metadata describing position, timing, and interactivity
• Cloud-based workflow eliminates costly on-premises hardware for live sports and large events
• Solution integrates Jünger Audio, MainConcept, Techex, and Fraunhofer IIS technologies
• Architecture: audio capture → metadata creation → distribution encoding → playback rendering
• Supports multiple formats: stereo, surround, Higher-Order Ambisonics in single stream
• Content stored in Amazon S3 and delivered via Amazon CloudFront CDN

AWS enables broadcasters to build professional-grade NGA workflows in the cloud with flexibility, scalability, and broadcast-quality output.
