In 2021 the Forum SBTVD accomplished the phase 2 of the TV3.0 project, comprised of a series of tests of the technologies proposed for this next generation of TVD system in Brazil. The tests were conducted by research groups of Brazilian universities. Particularly referring to the audio coding layer of the system, we carried out at the University of São Paulo 13 groups of tests, as prescribed in a public Call, and could assess the technologies capabilities and versatility in providing a series of new features for next generation of audio in the digital broadcasting system. This paper summarizes the main results of this testing and evaluation phase, and brings an overview of the stimulating new features that content producers and audience would have available to create and consume immersive and personalized services at home.
