Jünger Brings Down The Cost of Television Loudness Management

Berlin based Jünger Audio, designer and manufacturer of high-quality digital audio dynamics processors, has reduced the cost of loudness management with the addition of an affordable combination card to its successful modular C8000 audio processing system. The C8491 combines a 3G/HD/SD-SDI interface capable of handling 4, 8, or 16 audio channel SDI streams with a Jünger Level Magic™ 2 processor for managing loudness. One card represents one TV channel.
Giving a complete control and compliance package, C8491 can be used with Jünger’s Loudness Logger™, a software application that offers a means of monitoring loudness over time, in real time or subsequently to analyse stored loudness log files.
Compliant with all the latest international loudness specifications including EBU R128, the Level Magic™ 2 processor automatically manages the loudness of a programme with “a Multi loop simultaneous combination of slow changes (AGC like) fast changes (Transient processing) and Look-ahead limiting management for carefree processing of non-locked SDI streams.” Level Magic’s embedded algorithm seamlessly handles the loudness control of digital audio signals regardless of the input levels.
Easy to operate via a web interface, the C8491 cards need only a limited number of settings to be made before use and are highly space efficient, a single dedicated 3U frame can accommodate up to 16 C8491 cards.
Chris Collings, Director of Aspen Media, Jünger’s UK distributor enthused: “The C8491 is an important addition to the C8000 range and with loudness being at the forefront of every Broadcaster’s mind, it’s the answer to many prayers.”
