NUGEN Audio Unveils AMB Solution

NUGEN Audio will demonstrate AMB, its new audio batch file processing solution at IBC2016 in September, Stand 8.D56.

Also at the show, the company will showcase an upgrade to its Halo Upmix plug-in for upmixing stereo audio to surround.

NUGEN Audio's AMB (Audio Management Batch) processor is a new solution designed around the company's Loudness Management Batch (LMB) processor. New features include threaded algorithm processing and multiple processing threads that are addressable for simultaneous parallel handling of files and queues.

There are also several customer-driven improvements allowing for greater operational scalability and enhanced processing speed to the core system. AMB includes new customisation features and optional extensions that enables customers to carry out an array of audio-processing tasks, such as a new upmix/downmix capability, an extension for the company's DynApt technology for loudness-range targeting and content repurposing, and loudness management support for MXF or ProRes files.

Also at IBC2016, NUGEN Audio will unveil an upgrade of its Halo Upmix software for upmixing stereo audio to surround. Available in Avid AAX, VST, and AU formats, Halo Upmix automates the creation of a stereo-to-surround, downmix-compatible upmix with unique centre-channel management and spatial density controls. Combining numerous technologies, Halo Upmix enables producers to target various upmix goals, including full stable surrounds, exact downmix matching, and/or full dialog isolation.

The latest version adds a new set of algorithms for upmixing from multichannel audio to higher channel counts, including LCR to 5.1, 5.1 to 7.1, and 7.1 to 9.1. The 9.1 option allows the introduction of vertical positioning into the upmix, generating a 7.1.2 (Dolby Atmos) bed track-compatible upmix.

Jon Schorah, Founder and Creative Director, NUGEN Audio, said: "We developed AMB in response to customer demand for increased flexibility, more processing power, and scalable access to expanded capabilities. With AMB, our customers will have access to a broader array of NUGEN Audio's award-winning processor technologies, all designed to radically speed up workflows. We encourage IBC attendees to visit our booth and hear more about our integrated services as a key provider of batch file audio-processing solutions."
