Radio Utopia

Description

An internet radio station based on the secluded utopian nature of the radio broadcast,

made by Danny van der Kleij, where radio communication is not completely one way directional.

At certain intervals the radio station will broadcast several methods of audible codes during a sound collage radio show. Listeners are enticed to decode the transmitted material and

unravel the mysteries of a Radio Utopia.

Media

Photos

• At least 2, Max 5.
• native resolution only (that is the highest resolution you have for your photo and whatever resolution if you make screencaps)
• PNG format

Video

optional unless the final outcome of the project, or one of its main components, is a video/film/animation.

• allowed containers/codecs combos:
  • WebM (preferred):
    • Video codec: VP8 (3-5 Mbps data rate)
    • Audio codec: Vorbis (-q 6)
  • Ogg:
    • Video codec: Theora (3-5 Mbps data rate)
    • Audio codec: Vorbis (-q 6)
  • MP4:
    • Video Codec: H.264 (3-5 Mbps data rate)
    • Audio Codec: AAC (160kbps or 384kbps if 5.1) or MP3 (-V0 or -b 320)
• resolution: 720p if source >= 720p, native resolution otherwise, progressive.
• FPS: 24, 25, 30.
• Sample rate:
  • 44.1kHz if source is 44.1kHz or 88.2kHz
  • 48 kHz if source is 48kHz or 96kHz
  • 44.1 kHz for everything else.

Audio

optional unless the final outcome of the project, or one of its main components, is a sound piece/track.

• allowed containers/codecs combos:
  • Ogg: Vorbis (-q 6) preferred
  • MPEG: MP3 (-V0 or -b 320)
  • FLAC (-8)
• Sample rate:
  • 44.1kHz if source is 44.1kHz or 88.2kHz
  • 48 kHz if source is 48kHz or 96kHz
  • 44.1 kHz for everything else.
• Do not transcode! For instance, if the sound generated is directly an MP3, do not re-encode it with the settings above or with a different codec. Only encode original uncompressed or lossless compressed sources.
