Software version 3.20: More processing. Again.

Mobile TV Optimized
BS.1770-2 Processing
BS.1770-2 Radar Meter

  • DMix: Optimum Mobile Platform Delivery
    In just one engine, DMix can downmix, loudness process and true-peak limit any mono, stereo or 5.1 source. Input formats are dealt with automatically without the need for metadata, downmix takes place at overload-proof 48 bit resolution, loudness processing complies with ATSC or EBU standards, and transparent transcoding keeps the output perfectly conditioned for mobile TV, iPod or IPTV. Even a wide loudness range feature film is transcoded automatically on the fly at an impeccable audio quality.

  • DMix presets for ATSC and EBU standards may be found in the new Down-conversion factory preset bank. Be sure to try the new iX presets featuring image enhancement for an extra enveloping experience when listening in headphones

  • BS.1770-2 Based Processing
    New EBU R128 and ATSC A/85 compliant processing algos and presets for mono, stereo, 5.1 and format conversion.

  • BS.1770-2 Compliant Metering
    New LM6 loudness radar meter compliant with EBU R128, ATSC A/85, TR-B32 and ITU-R BS.1770-2. For legacy purposes, LM6 can also be switched to the ungated, original BS.1770 measure of Program Loudness.

  • Loudness meters in MKII frames feature 24/7 logging capability without even seeing a computer. Measurement and logging presets are found in the new Metering factory preset bank.

  • More Improvements
    Version 3.20 includes various other enhancements. To name a few: Centralized preset handling, more SNMP functions, anti-aliased meter graphics, new Metering, Down-conversion and Up-conversion preset banks.
