Overview
Dr. Quackenbush began his participation with ISO/IEC SC29 WG11 (MPEG) in 1995 as a proponent in the MPEG-2 Advanced Audio Coding (AAC) work. In 1998, he became Chair of the MPEG Audio Subgroup, and in 2020 he became Convenor of ISO/IEC SC29 WG 6 MPEG Audio Coding. During his tenure, MPEG Audio has produced numerous excellent standards. The marketplace tends to agree, as the following are some of the most successful and widely deployed audio standards produced by MPEG:
- MPEG-2 and MPEG-4 Advanced Audio Coding (AAC), ISO/IEC 13818-7 and ISO/IEC 14496-3, particularly the MPEG-4 AAC Profile technology
- MPEG-4 High Efficiency Advanced Audio Coding (HE-AAC), ISO/IEC 14496-3, particularly the MPEG-4 HE-AAC v2 Profile technology.
- Unified Speech and Auidio Coding, ISO/IEC 23003-3
- MPEG-H 3D Audio, ISO/IEC 23008-3
WG 6, MPEG Audio Coding is currently working on standardization of MPEG-I Immersive Audio, ISO/IEC 23090-4. Dr. Quackenbush looks forward to success on this new standard.
