Minnetonka Audio Software Products at the 2013 IBC Show: NEW AudioTools Server 3.0 At IBC, Minnetonka Audio will show the latest version of its flagship product, AudioTools Server (ATS) 3.0. ATS 3 is loaded with major enhancements including improved workflow processing, support for additional codecs and container formats, augmented load balancing and failover for multisystem environments, easier oversight for administrators and much more. ATS 3 is an enterprise software system for file-based workflows, designed to automate even the most sophisticated audio tasks.
Via SOAP and XML, AudioTools Server seamlessly integrates audio expertise into existing video infrastructure, and interoperates with Amberfin, Aveco, Avid, Civolution, Ericsson, IBM, Sony and Telestream among others. The system is also a complete solution for managing and processing Dolby E, Dolby Digital, Dolby Digital Plus, and linear PCM content, as well as the audio essence within transport streams, MXF and QuickTime containers.
Version 3 of our benchmark audio automation server offers a new processing feature, AudioTools Movie Adaption, providing intelligent, adaptive prep of HDR (High Dynamic Range) theatrical audio mixes for broadcast and emerging platforms. Also new is the VLC or Voice Level Consistency measurement feature, which determines if dialog levels across a program are uniform. VLC predicts potential on-air problems when intercut with other content. Supported file types have also been expanded, including LXF and GXF containers, plus a wider variety of audio essence formats for transport streams.
NEW SurCode for Dolby Digital Plus Technology Preview SurCode for Dolby Digital Plus creates fully compliant Dolby Digital Plus E-AC-3 files from multichannel WAV or AIFF sources. As a Dolby-certified product, the encoded audio files are compatible with all Dolby Digital-branded decoders, in either software or hardware versions. SurCode for Dolby Digital Plus also provides encoding and decoding of legacy Dolby Digital AC-3 files. Cross-platform plug-in and native versions enable auditioning, encoding, and decoding/confidence monitoring, making it easy to produce 5.1, 6.1 and 7.1 assets in real time for digital distribution. For repurposing existing 5.1 stems, SurCode for Dolby Digital Plus also upmixes from 5.1 to 6.1 and 7.1 formats. SurCode for Dolby Digital Plus will be available as a single, cross-platform installer for native, RTAS, AAX, and VST formats.
