Link: Hearing the future: a first test of HD voice on Sprint's HTC Evo 4G LTE
“The connection was instantly clearer, his voice sounding much crisper and fuller. Part of the HD voice technology has to do with expanding the dynamic range of the audio, allowing for more highs and lows to be recorded, and it made a considerable difference in the sound — it sounded uncompressed and natural, not tinny or shallow like a cell phone typically does.”
Q: “Is this a hardware-specific thing, software-specific thing, or network-specific thing?”
A: “All three. The hardware (microphone and speaker) are the biggest pieces, but there’s a software and network component as well.”
It’s about time. It’s astounding that we’re in 2012 and cell phones still have such awful, compressed audio quality. Hopefully this technology, or something similar to it, will start to proliferate.

The Science, Art, and Impact of Digital Cinema
For almost one hundred years there was only one way to make a movie — with film. Movies were shot, edited and projected using photochemical film. But over the last two decades a digital process has emerged to challenge photochemical filmmaking.
A new documentary produced by Keanu Reeves, Side By Side takes an in-depth look at this revolution. Through interviews with directors, cinematographers, film students, producers, technologies, editors, and exhibitors, Side By Side examines all aspects of filmmaking — from capture to edit, visual effects to color correction, distribution to archive. At this moment when digital and photochemical filmmaking coexist, Side By Side explores what has been gained, what is lost, and what the future might bring.
