SUMMARY:Silicon Valley Video Summit 2026
DESCRIPTION:AES SF has partnered with Silicon Valley Video Summit to bring you a half day of audio for video workshops on Tuesday\, January 27\, 2026. And the best part? The show is free for AES members! Don’t miss this opportunity to enhance your skills and knowledge. \n\nRegister Now\n\n \nAES Sessions\n\n\n\nTime\nRoom\nDescription\n\n\n\n\n9:45 am\nBoole\nAES: Higher Order Audio Capture \nDiscussion around solutions for live-event multi-channel audio capture (sporting\, concerts\, etc.) Detailed discussion on multi-channel audio capture with feeds sent in real-time to broadcast mixers who can then make decisions on creating the listening environment to match the visual experience. David will discuss multiple\, currently available\, product solutions to facilitate the audio capture. This session is ideal for audio professionals providing real-time mix engineering along with capture for later post-production purposes. \nModerator: BT Gibbs\, Skyline Entertainment and Publishing and Tool Shed Studios\nPanelist: David Bowles\, Swineshead Productions\, LLC \n\n\n\n10:15 am\nBoole\nAES: Eclipsa Audio Format for Streaming and Sound Design \nEclipsa Audio is a new open source spatial audio format based on the IAMF (Immersive Audio Model and Formats) specification\, available under a royalty-free license from the Alliance for Open Media. Eclipsa Audio is designed to enable high-quality\, immersive audio experiences across various devices and platforms\, including streaming\, gaming\, and virtual reality. The IAMF specification is codec-agnostic and allows for flexible rendering and mixing\, making it adaptable to different playback environments.Eclipsa Audio streaming and upload support has launched on YouTube. Join this tutorial session to learn more about the IAMF specification and to listen to creators talk about how to do sound design for Eclipsa Audio format. Learn about sound design differences and similarities for factual\, animation & high end narrative content. \nModerator: BT Gibbs\, Skyline Entertainment and Publishing and Tool Shed Studios\nPanelist: Jan Skoglund\, Google \n\n\n\n10:45 am\nExhibits\nNetworking Break\n\n\n11:30 am\nBoole\nAES: Cleaner Audio\, Faster Decisions: Real-Time Separation for Modern Broadcast Workflows \nAudioShake\, the leading audio isolation and separation tool for media and entertainment\, today announced the launch of its first streaming-capable SDKs designed specifically for real-time music detection and copyright-safe audio cleanup. The SDK enables broadcasters\, sports leagues\, and media creators to automatically detect and remove copyrighted music from live and post-production content—helping them avoid takedowns\, fines\, muted audio\, and distribution delays. \nModerator: BT Gibbs\, Skyline Entertainment and Publishing and Tool Shed Studios\nPanelist: Jessica Powell\, AudioShake \n\n\n\n12:00 pm\nBoole\nAES: Architecting Next-Generation Immersive Audio: Advanced Spatial Audio Formats and Codecs \nThe rapid evolution of immersive experiences\, particularly in Extended Reality (XR) applications like Virtual Reality (VR)\, Mixed Reality (MR)\, and Augmented Reality (AR)\, presents significant challenges for delivering compelling and perceptually accurate spatial audio. Traditional audio formats and rendering techniques fall short of meeting the requirements of these environments\, leading to a need for novel approaches to audio representation\, encoding\, and delivery. Using the Apple Spatial Audio Format (ASAF) and its underlying Apple Positional Audio Codec (APAC) as a case study\, we will examine how a unified framework can natively support a diverse array of immersive audio representations\, including object-based audio\, High Order Ambisonics (HOA)\, channel-based audio\, and binaural rendering. \nModerator: BT Gibbs\, Skyline Entertainment and Publishing and Tool Shed Studios\nPanelist: Deep Sen\, Apple \n\n\n\n12:30 pm\nBoole\nAES Sessions: All Speaker Q&A \nPresenters from the previous sessions will participate in a Q&A session moderated by Brian Gibbs and Jean‑Marc Jot. \nModerators:\nBT Gibbs\, Skyline Entertainment and Publishing and Tool Shed Studios; Jean‑Marc Jot\, Virtuel Works \n\n\n\n\n \nAES Presenters\n\n\n\nDavid Bowles\nDavid v.R Bowles formed Swineshead Productions\, LLC as a classical recording production company in 1995.
