Technical Guideline for Authors

On this web page we briefly inform about the technical handover points in the tmt33 lecture rooms. Our technical manager is responsible for the hall technology as well as for the technology of the workshop demonstrations. He will answer all technical questions that are not yet answered by this document here. Especially for immersive audio contributions or those in surround sound, it also makes sense to arrange a sound check appointment via Sebastian in the corresponding room.
