Hi Mark, all, Thanks for making that point. In today's media subgroup meeting we indeed identified that there may be two different things that we've been arguing about: 1. a "clean audio" track that is an alternative to the main audio track where the speech is singled out in a single channel of a multi-channel audio track 2. a "speech" track that is an addition to the main audio track and can be turned on over the top of the main audio and controlled in volume separately We are not sure if the second use is realistic, and if the first use would not generally be provided as the main audio track already. We need further expert input on this. For now, we decided to leave the issue open and wait until we have more information from people that actually work with such technology. Cheers, Silvia.

I don't mind what it is called, but the other question is whether it remains as an "alternative" track (as we have now) or an "additional" track to be played together with the main audio (with adjustable relative volume). The DVB references seemed to be to the latter. Do we need both ? I don't have an opinion except that we need to decide. > > ...Mark > > > On May 24, 2011, at 4:06 PM, Janina Sajka wrote: > >> * Time of day conversions >> >> You can check for the correct time of this meeting in your time zone >> using the Fixed Time Clock at: >> >> http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/fixedtime.html?month=5&day=25&year=2011&hour=21&min=30&sec=0&p1=0 >> >> 2:30 PM San Francisco -- U.S. Pacific (Daylight) Time (UTC -7) >> 5:30 PM Boston -- U.S. Eastern (Daylight) Time (UTC -4) >> 10:30 PM London -- British (Summer) Time (UTC +1) >> 07:30+1 Sydney -- Australian Eastern (Standard) Time (UTC +10) >> >> SPECIAL NOTE: Please note the new Zakim facilities announced below.
