9086 Embedded Audio Loudness Processor

The 9086-SD offers an unmatched ease of use and integration for embedded audio environments requiring loudness processing. Featuring Linear Acoustic® AEROMAX™ technology, the 9086-SD offers stereo loudness processing for embedded audio on SD-SDI.  

The video protection feature uses the frame reference to ensure stable output in the presence of input errors, to protect MPEG encoders and other downstream equipment.

AEROMAX™ algorithms use a sophisticated multiband approach to loudness processing. These algorithms can apply multifaceted loudness correction specifically targeted to various frequency ranges and other characteristics within the program material, resulting in audio free from abrupt loudness or image shifts while preserving more of the original content than previously possible. Because the card processes audio loudness locally and in sync with the video, loudness is processed without the accumulated latency delay found in other loudness processors. A 4x2.0 loudness processing option allows independent loudness processing of four stereo pairs, and is perfectly suited for multi-language programming.

Full user remote and card-edge proc control allows adjustment of audio parametric control and routing. With multiple selectable presets, several loudness processing profiles offer the best loudness processing solution for various types of program material.
