Digimetrics Eos Audio Normalizer Coming to Digital Rapids Transcode Manager .0 and Kayak

05/04/2013

Cushing, Oklahoma and Markham, Ontario: Digimetrics and Digital Rapids today announced availability of the Digimetrics Eos Audio Normalizer plug-in for the Digital Rapids Transcode Manager 2.0 automated media transformation software and Digital Rapids Kayak dynamic workflow platform. This plug-in is slated to be available later this month.

Part of the Eos Audio Correction series of applications and plug-ins, the Eos Audio Normalizer plug-in for Kayak-based applications is designed for measurement and correction of average audio loudness based upon the ITU-R BS.1770 series of specifications including EBU R128, ATSC A/85 and ARIB TR-B32, allowing for compliance with North American, European, Japanese and other national regulations.

Combining the same audio measurement functionality as Digimetrics Aurora QC suite with the addition of dynamic range compression (and optional make-up gain), the Eos Audio Normalizer plug-in ensures that volume isnt simply turned down, but that only the sections of audio that are out of compliance are adjusted. Dynamic correction uses a moving window to establish an audio level based on the LUFS weighting in the selected standard, and then determines whether a volume adjustment and/or dynamic range compression should be applied to a specific window based upon the LUFS, gate/range and measure window thresholds of that standard. Dynamic range compression is applied using a soft knee filter, which is adjustable in the advanced settings of the Eos Audio Correction tools. Measurement and correction are handled in a single pass to maximize performance.

As an optional self-contained component integrating directly into the Kayak platform, the Eos Audio Normalizer can be incorporated quickly and seamlessly into customized, automated Transcode Manager 2.0 and Kayak workflows through the visual Kayak Workflow Designer. The Eos Audio Normalizer can be used with any audio input format supported by Transcode Manager and Kayak.

The enterprise-class Digital Rapids Transcode Manager 2.0 software takes media processing beyond transcoding and workflow orchestration, seamlessly blending media transformation and workflow processes while offering outstanding efficiency, scalability and agility for applications from post production and archive to multi-screen distribution. Building on the unique benefits of the Kayak platform, version 2.0 of Transcode Manager combines its robust management tools and hallmarks of exceptional output quality and format flexibility with adaptive, automated decision-making; intuitive, visual workflow design tools; dynamic deployment; fast, easy integration of new and emerging technologies; and a deep ecosystem of third-party technology partners.

In addition to powering Digital Rapids newest end-user solutions, Kayak is available as a comprehensive workflow design and development platform for systems integrators, software developers and customers. Kayaks component-based architecture and rich, open ecosystem make it easy for customers to integrate new technologies in response to market trends or new opportunities, while its intelligent automation and dynamic deployment model maximize processing efficiency, optimize resource utilization, minimize management effort and reduce costs.

Digimetrics is continually focused on providing tools to measure and correct artifacts and distribution issues for file-based media, and our Eos Audio Normalizer for Digital Rapids Transcode Manager 2.0 and Kayak is a great expansion of this capability, comments Eric Carson, Business Unit Manager, Digimetrics.

Audio loudness correction is a key issue for content producers and distributors, whether for regulatory compliance or simply to provide a better experience for their audiences, said Onkar Parmar, Senior Partnership Manager for Kayak at Digital Rapids. Digimetrics Eos Audio Normalizer is designed specifically to address these issues, and were pleased that it will be available to our mutual customers for use in Transcode Manager 2.0 and Kayak.
