MPEG-H Audio enables highly efficient immersive audio transmission with advanced accessibility, interaction, personalization, and adaptation features. MPEG-H Audio utilizes audio objects and metadata to allow viewers to interact with content, creating a personalized listening experience. Broadcasters can enable or disable interactivity options and set limits for viewer interactions. This paper details Fraunhofer IIS’ proposal for TV 3.0 Project on new high-level immersive audio interactivity APIs for Ginga-NCL and Ginga CC WebServices. These APIs allow broadcasters to develop and deliver multimedia applications to control such advanced audio features, using their own visual identity, graphical design and even the multimodal interaction expected to be supported in TV 3.0. The paper also discusses the implications of audio stream metadata changes, which occurs when the content includes different audio scenes. The workhighlightsthat such API proposal for TV 3.0 is harmonized with current TV 2.5 specifications and, given the increasing number of TV 2.5 receivers supporting MPEG-H audio, these APIs could also be proposed for being included in current standards.
