Summary

In order to reproduce a highly realistic experience and sense of immersiveness for audiences at a viewing site on par with the experience of audiences at the event site at the same time, and also to reduce the design and setup times of immersive live experience (ILE) viewing sites, Recommendation ITU-T H.430.5 specifies reference models for the immersive live experience (ILE) presentation environments. There are three basic types of ILE presentation environment: a proscenium style that has a one-sided stage or screens, an open style that has island stages or runways from a single-sided stage, and an arena style presentation environment that has one island stage. This Recommendation provides one reference model each for the proscenium, open, and arena style presentation environments. This Recommendation also provides functional blocks and implementation guidelines for ILE viewing sites as informative information.
