Overview

Ideally suited for stereo broadcast and production, the EASY LOUDNESS  AoIP audio processor is designed to ensure that audio levels and  loudness are automatically kept under control – from program to program  and day to day.

Featuring comprehensive Level Magic™ loudness control, fail over  switching and true peak limiting for two independent stereo programs,  sourced from DANTE™/AES67 or AES.

Level Magic

Based on a unique multi-loop control principle, the Level Magic  algorithm provides adaptive wideband loudness control with exceptionally  high audio quality, without coloration, pumping, distortion or other  modulation effects.  Level Magic is designed to be audibly transparent and process adaptively  with minimal user interaction. Level Magic™ is compliant with all current broadcast audio loudness  recommendations based on the ITU-R BS.1770 standard as well as the  derived recommended practices ATSC A/85, ARIB TR-B32, Free TV OP-59,  Portaria 354, EBU R128 and more.

Loudness Measurement and Logging

For compliance with local regulations, loudness and true peak levels  can be measured and monitored directly from the web browser interface.  Simultaneously all data is transmitted via Ethernet to the J*AM  measurement and logging software (license option), providing  comprehensive file logging, live monitoring and offline analysis.

Fail Over

With its integrated fail over system, EASY LOUDNESS AoIP is able to  switch to a backup signal path, in case the main feed gets lost. The AES  stereo input can be used as a fallback input if the DANTE™/AES67 signal  is interrupted

New Easy Web Configuration

Enabling easy and intuitive setup and configuration from anywhere in  your network, a browser-based web interface with a newly designed ‘home’  page allows for fast set-once-and-forget operation. Onscreen metering  and measurements are available for easy reference and a dedicated  ‘Mobile UI’ is tailored specifically for touch-screen, tablet and  smartphone access.

Physical Interfaces

EASY LOUDNESS AoIP is fitted with a DANTE™/AES67 interface with full  network control and local routing for up to 8 audio channels (e.g. main  feeds and backup channels). Additionally a stereo AES interface with  physical XLR and BNC (AES3id) connectors is installed.

System Security

With dual redundant PSUs, automatic sync source switching, power fail  bypass relays and SNMP monitoring, the unit ensures maximum operational  safety.

System Integration

All system parameters can be remote controlled via Ember+ control  protocol enabling any broadcast automation system to fully operate and  virtualize the device. A Snapshot functionality was developed for simple  and easy loading of presets by GPI, network or physical Hotkeys  (optional X*AP RM1).
