This paper describes audio recording, delivery and rendering for an end-to-end broadcast system allowing users free navigation of panoramic video content with matching interactive audio. The system is based on one developed as part of the EU FP7 funded project, FascinatE. The premise of the system was to allow users free navigation of an ultra-high definition 180 degree video panorama for a customisable viewing experience. From an audio perspective the complete audio scene is recorded and broadcast so the rendered sound scene at the user end may be customised to match the viewpoint. The approach described here uses and object-based audio paradigm. This paper presents an overview of the system and describes how such an approach is useful for facilitating an interactive broadcast.
