  2. We need to talk about CEDIA

    We need to talk about CEDIA

    CEDIA. The industry association for smart home professionals. Particularly, we're focusing on all the bits *we* really like - the education and training, CPD outreach, and the various industry standards and RPs. Our friend Peter Aylett has been deeply involved with all of it - he was chair of RP22, served five years as Standards chair, CEDIA fellow, board member, the CPD trainer for EMEA over many years, and loads more besides. So he came on to talk to us about it all, plus some teasers about all the amazing education happening at ISE this year, including a one-day RP32 audio measurement workshop on Monday 2nd Feb. We're doing all of it, what about you? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

    2025 catch up

  8. Tom and Owen go to space

    10/09/2024

    Tom and Owen go to space

    The RP22 performance targets cover timbre (timber if you're Northern), dynamics and spatial resolution. Spatial resolution has the longest set of metrics - there's 11 of them. This time out we go though and explain the spatial metrics in a bit more detail, what they're for and how they make your cinema better. Less sweary than some episodes - we're trying to behave properly. Ish. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
