Brio is a compact digital broadcast audio console, with a comprehensive broadcast feature set supporting a wider breadth of broadcasters. The smallest in Calrec’s Bluefin2 family, Brio’s control surface is 892mm wide – the dual-layer, 36-fader surface provides more faders in a given footprint than any other audio broadcast console. Brio’s uncluttered, compact, and configurable surface gives instant access to a large number of audio paths, while a 15.6-inch HD touchscreen UI provides quick access to more in-depth control. Brio is entirely self-contained, with analogue and digital I/O and GPIO built into the surface. Additional expansion I/O slots allow for further I/O integration, and fitting an available Hydra2 module makes it possible to connect to and share audio over Calrec’s Hydra2 network.

functionality. Four new networking interfaces will be on show, including an AES67/ Ravenna interface, an AVB interface, and a modular I/O Dante card that includes AES67 compatibility. In addition, Calrec will debut a SMPTE 2022-6 video interface. Calrec customers can now interface with multiple protocols simultaneously. For example, a signal can be received via AES67 and then sent via SMPTE 2022, AVB, Ravenna, Dante, or AES67. Signal processing takes place via modular cards or 1RU boxes. Each signal benefits from the management facilities inherent in Hydra2. This is especially beneficial in remote environments where multiple trucks are connected. Visit http://calrec.com
Jünger Audio Promotes Smart Audio
Nugen’s Audio AMB Processor
JÜNGER AUDIO’S CAMPAIGN to focus attention on effective, high quality
NUGEN AUDIO’S AMB (Audio Management Batch) processor is a solution built on the company’s Loudness Management Batch (LMB) processor. Through new features such as threaded algorithm processing and multiple processing threads that are addressable for simultaneous parallel handling of files and queues, AMB enables facilities to hasten workflows and reduce delivery times.
and automated audio production, continues at IBC 2016 where the company will be demonstrating its ‘Smart Audio’ concept. Smart Audio means investing in simple, reliable and predictable equipment that can automatically deliver audio content while maintaining the high quality that consumers rightly expect. The concept has already been adopted by a number of broadcasters, including Input Media in London and the ARD Tagesschau television prime time news service in Germany. Alongside intelligent and adaptive processing algorithms, the introduction of Smart Audio allows broadcasters to choose devices that are interoperable in the broadcast environment and can integrate with playout automation systems and logging and monitoring processes. To highlight this concept, Jünger Audio will be showing its range of D*AP products that can deliver a Smart Audio experience because every device incorporates a collection of adaptive processing algorithms. They also employ the industry standard Ember+ remote protocol that allows integration with a wide range of compatible equipment.
With AMB, Nugen Audio adds several customer-driven enhancements and capabilities that bring greater flexibility, operational scalability, and enhanced processing speed. AMB includes customisation features and several optional extensions allowing customers to carry out a greater range of audio-processing tasks. These features include a new upmix/downmix capability, an extension for the company’s DynApt technology for loudnessrange targeting and content repurposing, and loudness management support for MXF and ProRes files.
Jünger Audio’s D*AP range includes natural sounding products for loudness control, audio monitoring, audio conditioning, metadata management and Dolby decoding, encoding and transcoding. Among them are the D*AP8 MAP EDITION surround monitoring audio processor, the D*AP8 Codec Edition processor that provides a viable replacement for any discontinued Dolby hardware processors, the D*AP4 VAP Edition two channel voice audio processor, and the flagship D*AP8 TAP Edition television audio processor.
At IBC2016, NUGEN Audio will introduce an upgrade of its Halo Upmix software for upmixing stereo audio to surround. Available in Avid AAX, VST, and AU formats, Halo Upmix automates the creation of a stereo-tosurround and downmix-compatible upmix, with centre-channel management and spatial density controls. Combining several technologies, including frequency and time-domain energy distribution and neural network artificial intelligence, Halo Upmix enables producers to target various upmix goals, including full stable surrounds, downmix matching, and/or full dialog isolation.
