Designed for TV playout facilities, the Jünger Audio T*AP TV Audio Processor provides loudness control, upmixing and surround-sound processing for up to eight channels of audio.
The wide-band eight-channel processor (8x1, 4x2, or 6+2) focuses on automatic and adaptive loudness control through Jünger Audio’s Level Magic algorithm (ITU compliant). Using proprietary Spectral Signature technology, it offers dynamic equalisation more accessibly than with a traditional multiband 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.
The new processor is capable of handling AES digital input and, through interface slots, all other usual audio formats including all SDI versions (SD, HD, 3G). It is controllable through front panel and Web based GUI, plus remote control and GPI – and it comes with a redundant power supply as standard.
‘This latest addition to our product range fulfils the quality requirements set by major broadcasters around the world,’ says Jünger Audio MD, Peter Pörs. ‘Maintaining loudness consistency is now a major issue for our industry, and one that particularly affects playout facilities because they have absolutely no control over the broadcast content’s average operating levels. Our new processor is designed to solve this problem for them in an easy and cost-effective way. Also, for the first time we are offering sophisticated spectral processing which allows TV and radio broadcasters to create a signature mask as a template so that they can recreate the same atmosphere and dynamics on subsequent audio content. This is very exciting and is offers significant sound improvements to audio programming.’
Jünger Audio will also preview a GUI software application that shows loudness graphs and makes it much easier to log loudness information at the IBC show. The software, currently in prototype, is an indication of the new direction Jünger Audio is taking – not only processing loudness but also measuring and quality monitoring it as well. The company will be actively seeing feedback from customers at IBC before delivering a final version.
