Re: [Sursound] Binaural broadcast

[David Pickett]

Whatever the BBC sound quality when broadcast live in the UK, having 
listened to most of the Proms 4.0 broadcasts over the past two years, 
I am not convinced that the sound over the internet is to be sneezed 
at.  It sounds excellent here in central Europe.


This is the link to one of the programmes this weekend: 
http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b06g63fh , though whether they will 
be available outside the UK is not clear.  Perhaps Rupert Brun can tell us.


I should say that I have only a notional interest in this, as 
binaural has never worked for me.

[Sursound] Binaural broadcast

[Peter Carbines]

I believe one, possibly two, items due to be broadcast on BBC Radio 4
on Saturday 31 October as part of a 'Fright Night' strand, were recorded
in binaural stereo.

22:00 GMT  "The Stone Tape"  A story by Nigel Kneale (he of 'Quatermass' 
fame)


23:00 GMT  "Ring" An adaptation of Koji Suzuki's 1991 novel.

If the BBC website won't co-operate for non-UK residents,
no doubt Expat Shield will spoof a UK IP for you.

Many thanks for the heads up. I think i'd best warn folks hear in the K this 
will be best heard on the FM service, as the broadcasts via DAB, Freeview and 
Satellite use Jstereo to help reduce bandwidth usage. Apart from the damage it 
does to standard stereo material, it will seriously damage the binaural 
information.




  I believe one, possibly two, items due to be broadcast on BBC Radio 4
  on Saturday 31 October as part of a 'Fright Night' strand, were recorded
  in binaural stereo.

  22:00 GMT  "The Stone Tape"  A story by Nigel Kneale (he of 'Quatermass' 
  fame)

  23:00 GMT  "Ring" An adaptation of Koji Suzuki's 1991 novel.

  If the BBC website won't co-operate for non-UK residents,
  no doubt Expat Shield will spoof a UK IP for you.
