Jünger Audio Enhances C8000 System

Jünger Audio has announced a range of new cards for its modular C8000 audio processing system.

The C8000 card system enables any combination of modules to be fitted into frames of various sizes, resulting in a compact audio processing and audio interface rack for applications including OBs, acquisition, post-production and transmission control.

The solution consists of DSP-based audio processing cards together with an array of I/O options, allowing customers to choose the number and type of input and output interfaces and processing they require for their facility. This is particularly suited to multichannel sound, and interfaces are available for 3G/HD/SD-SDI, MADI, Dante AoIP, as well as AES3 and analogue I/O.

C8000 processing also includes options for multichannel loudness control incorporating Jünger Audio's Level Magic algorithm, automatic surround upmixing, in-built failover and voice-over circuits, multichannel A/V compensation delay and direct codec system support such as Dolby D, D+ and E encoding and/or decoding.

The introduction of new processing boards (C8092, C8492B and C8492) enables Jünger to deliver improved algorithms to its customers by allowing them to complete the same processing tasks in a more efficient way, and due to the higher processing density of the C8092 and C8492B boards, typical configurations can be created by using less frame space.

Peter Poers, Jünger Audio, CEO, said: "The new boards incorporate a number of improvements that make the conversion of previously common configurations much more straightforward. The main difference between the C8092, C8492 and C8492B boards lies in the scalable audio processing circuits for up to 16 channels including two surround programs. This gives the performance and power of four of the previous DSP cards in one new DSP card, along with the availability of an integrated 3G/HD/SD-SDI interface. It also gives the possibility of accessing the C8000 system bus to exchange audio and metadata with other boards in a frame. Many large system designs involving audio processing can now be configured using a lower number of frames, boards and accessories and with smarter control integration."

To coincide with the release of the new boards, Jünger Audio will phase out some of its older models including the C8086+, the C8087 and some Dolby cards.
