System and method for handling digital content

A method for handling digital content, comprising:

• receiving the digital content by a input interface, wherein the input interface comprises a plurality of Ni input channels, wherein the input channels are configured to receive the digital content from a group of sensors belonging to a recording session;
• wherein the method comprises operating a platform for ad hoc multichannel audio capturing and rendering,
• providing an output digital content by adapting the digital content to a reproduction session in which the output digital content is to be reproduced, and outputting the output digital content by an output interface, wherein the output interface comprises a plurality of Ni output channels,
• wherein the output channels are configured to output the output digital content to a group of actuators belonging to the reproduction session, wherein the digital content and/or the output digital content is transferred via a wireless network, and
• wherein the number Ni is based on a user interaction, and wherein the number No is based on a user interaction,
• wherein the method allows associating the digital content with the recording session or the output digital content with the reproduction session, wherein the recording session is associated with the group of sensors and wherein the reproduction session is associated with the group of actuators, wherein the method handles the digital content belonging to the recording session, and wherein the method handles the digital content belonging to the reproduction session,
• wherein method initializes a time synchronization routine for the group of sensors associated with the recording session, so that the sensors of the group of sensors are time synchronized,
• wherein the method initializes a time synchronization routine for the group of actuators associated with the reproduction session, so that the actuators of the group of actuators are time synchronized,
• wherein the method initializes a localization routine for the group of sensors providing information about locations of the sensors of the group of sensors, and
• wherein the method initializes a localization routine for the group of actuators providing information about locations of the actuators of the group of actuators.
