9985 3G/HD/SD Loudness Processor with Frame Sync

  • Details
  • Click to view

Using Linear Acoustic® AEROMAX™ technology, the Fusion3G® 9985 card offers 5.1-channel or stereo loudness processing for any audio channels sourced from embedded, AES, or analog audio inputs. AEROMAX algorithms use a sophisticated multiband approach, in which multifaceted loudness correction is specifically targeted to various frequency ranges and other characteristics within the program material. The result is audio free from abrupt loudness or image shifts while preserving more of the original ambience 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. Remote control is quick and easy with the free DashBoard™ remote control software, or Cobalt OGCP-9000 series remote control panels.

The 9985's powerful dual DSPs uniquely support optional bundling of multiple loudness and upmixing processing. You can select from options to add (as inputs and/or outputs) fiber, analog video, AES, and analog audio. Other options include wings insertion, general purpose keying, color correction, Dolby® E/AC-3 encoding and decoding (with both decode and re-encode on the same card), ITU/ATSC/EBU compliant loudness metering, and Linear Acoustic® upmixing.

Audio Options
-
Linear Acoustic® Loudness Processing (+LP51/+LP20)*
Featuring Linear Acoustic® AEROMAX™ technology and available in 5.1-channel (LP51) and stereo (LP20) configurations. These loudness processors use inputs from any source received by the card, or any mixing setting produced by the card. AEROMAX™ algorithms use a sophisticated multi-band approach to loudness processing, and can apply multi-faceted 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.

Up to two 5.1 loudness processors can be ordered per card, order as +LP51A and +LP51B. Up to four stereo loudness processors can be ordered per card, order as +LP20A, +LP20B, +LP20C and +LP20D. 		Software Loudness Meter (+LM-C)
Cobalt’s +LM audio loudness metering option (in conjunction with a Cobalt OGCP-9000 Remote Control Panel with +LM-P option) provides a flexible solution for ingest or on-air loudness metering and assessment in compliance with ITU/ATSC/EBU standards. Easy to use, the +LM offers "true peak" level detection, error tracking and logging, and intuitive interface with touch screen control.
Linear Acoustic® Automatic Upmixer (+UM)*
Featuring Linear Acoustic® UPMAX™ technology, upmixing allows legacy stereo program content to be converted to full 5.1-channel audio. UPMAX™ mode detects 2.0 content and automatically applies upmix mode (with configurable switchover fade-in/fade-out) depending on absence or presence of 5.1 source audio.

Up to two upmixers may be configured on the card, order as +UMA and +UMB.
