Jünger Audio will make two additions to its Level Magic processor range at IBC 2011 – the D*AP LM2 and D*AP LM4 – joining the T*AP TV Audio Processor launched at NAB 2010.
The D*AP LM2 is a two-channel Digital Audio Processor incorporating Version II of Jünger Audio’s Level Magic algorithm, which is compliant with all current broadcast audio loudness recommendations including ITU, EBU R128 and ATSC A/85. A successor to Jünger Audio’s D06 unit, the D*AP LM2 offers a combination of dynamics and loudness control for applications including television, radio, music production and PA.
The D*AP LM2 is capable of handling both analogue and digital (AES/EBU) audio, and features an automatic input switchover with parallel output formats. Jünger Audio’s Adaptive Dynamics come as standard, allowing additional processing blocks such as filters, compressors, expanders and the recently introduced proprietary Spectral Signature processor to be added. This proprietary technology gives TV and radio broadcasters the ability to create a signature mask as a template so that they can recreate the same atmosphere and dynamics on subsequent audio content.
In keeping with the T*AP TV, the D*AP LM2 fits a 19-inch rack and is controllable through a newly designed front panel or via a web-based interface. It has a power fail bypass as standard for additional operational security.
The D*AP LM4 is a four-channel Digital Audio Processor also incorporates Level Magic II and is aimed at television broadcasters and video production and postproduction companies that need to control audio loudness while creating and editing broadcast content.
Similar in concept to the Jünger Audio B46 processor (which it will ultimately replace), the D*AP LM4 has onboard AES/EBU digital I/O, along with optional 3G/HD/SD-SDI I/O or analogue I/O. All I/O has power fail bypass to ensure operational security. Again, control of this 19-inch rack-mount unit is via a new front panel or via a web interface for those who wish to operate it remotely.
T*AP focuses on automatic and adaptive loudness control using Jünger Audio’s Level Magic II algorithm and also offers Spectral Signature as standard, enabling broadcasters to dynamically equalise and ‘colour’ sound in an easier manner than can be achieved with a traditional multi-band sound processor. Optional Dolby Decoding and Encoding (D, D+, or Pulse), as well as metadata management, are also provided along with 5.1 Downmix and Jünger Audio’s 5.1 Upmix circuit, which has been upgraded to deliver greatly improved performance and a range of new settings.
