On October 14, ATSC 3.0 received a 2026 Technology & Engineering Emmy® Award from NATAS. Over the last 15 years, Fraunhofer IIS has contributed key technologies to this standard, including MPEG-H Audio, Next Generation Audio (NGA) concepts, and related transport and signaling technologies. MPEG-H Audio is already used commercially every day in ATSC 3.0 services in South Korea and Brazil.
Future of ISO/IEC JTC1/SC 29
The subcommittee that is the home to JPEG and MPEG is currently in the process of updating its internal structure. Fraunhofer IIS has been committed to SC 29 since its beginning and will continue to show that strong commitment under the new structure.
