JACOB K. JAVITS CONVENTION CENTER (BOOTHS #965 and #N122) / NEW YORK, NY October 16, 2019.

The Telos Alliance trusted global leader in broadcast audio for more than three decades showed several new products in support of ATSC 3.0 and immersive television audio, as well as updates and enhancements to its existing product and solutions portfolio at AES NY (booth #965) and NAB NY (booth #N122) today, two shows colocated at the Jacob K. Javitz Convention Center in New York.

AES NY INFINITY IP INTERCOM DEMO

Expanded Telos Infinity IP Intercom Platform

New additions to the Telos Infinity IP Intercom platform will be on display at AES NY, booth #965. Additions include Dashboard Advanced software, Infinity Link, and new base models of the Master Panel and Desktop Station. Customers with larger Infinity installations or those who wish to unlock the full potential of the Infinity system will welcome the introduction of the new Dashboard Advanced software which includes System Zone and Scene support, off-line configuration, user rights administration, and support for directly connecting third-party AES67 streams including SAP, and in the future, NMOS nodes.

Telos Infinity Link provides connectivity for Infinity systems installed in remote locations by using embedded, versatile, speech-optimized OPUS codecs to convert WAN-side VoIP (including the Internet) to LAN-side Livewire AES67 networks. Infinity Link is available in the form of software licenses that can be added to any host Infinity Panel or Beltpack hardware, or by way of a dedicated higher-density 1RU hardware gateway. Once connected, the resulting Livewire AES67 streams from the remote locations appear as sources and destinations within the Telos Infinity Dashboard software and behave just like local networked audio sources, providing the ultimate in flexibility.

Finally, the INF-MP-16B Intercom Master Panel Base Model and INF-DS-16B Intercom Master Desktop Station Base Model offer the same features as the INF-MP-16 Master Panel and INF-DS-16 Desktop Station hardware, respectively, but without the rear panel auxiliary audio I/O and GPIO connections. These cost-effective base versions are ideal for use when local I/O and serial logic are not required.

Linear Acoustic LA-5300 Broadcast Audio Processor Eases the Transition to ATSC 3.0

The new Linear Acoustic LA-5300 offers everything needed to make the transition to ATSC 3.0 as seamless as possible by offering all audio-related functions in a single 1RU package including support for SMPTE ST 2110-30 and -31 workflows. It provides loudness control via the Dolby Real-Time Loudness leveler (when encoding to AC-4). Upmixing from stereo to 5.1-channel audio is provided by the new Linear Acoustic UPMAX ISC algorithm. The LA-5300 can also decode incoming AC-4 streams for confidence monitoring, bitstream analysis, and for audience measurement using the optional Nielsen and Verance watermark encoders. Dolby AC-4 encoding plus Dolby Digital and Dolby Digital Plus transcoding to AC-4 are standard. As ATSC 3.0 adoption grows, support for additional features such as immersive and object-based audio, interactive consumer control, personalized audio and multiple presentations will be incorporated via software updates.

Linear Acoustic LA-5291 Professional Audio Encoder Supporting Today's Dolby Atmos Workflows

An essential tool for television broadcasters creating live content in Dolby Atmos immersive audio, the LA-5291 will provide decoding, encoding, and transcoding to and from PCM and select Dolby coded formats for up to 16 audio channels. Developed in close collaboration with Dolby, LA-5291 is designed to maintain the functionality provided by the Dolby DP591 Audio Encoder, while offering additional features and capabilities. It earns a place throughout the immersive audio journey, starting with OB trucks where it can encode multi-channel PCM audio to Dolby ED2 for contribution or Dolby Atmos for distribution. Further downstream, it can transcode Dolby E and ED2 directly to Dolby Digital Plus and Dolby Atmos and encode PCM to Dolby Digital Plus and Dolby Atmos for final distribution. It features 16 channels of bidirectional AES67 I/O to support users moving toward or currently using SMPTE ST 2110 facilities. SDI I/O will include two independent 3G SDI inputs with de-embedding and re-embedding for up to eight audio pairs and optional quad-link 3G SDI for 4K workflows. Four AES-3 inputs/outputs will be standard, while 64 channels of MADI I/O is available as an option. Dual Ethernet ports will be included, one for AES67 and another for networked remote control via an intuitive, platform- and browser-agnostic web-based user interface. Dual internal redundant auto-ranging power supplies are standard.

Linear Acoustic UPMAX ISC (Immersive Soundfield Controller)

The Linear Acoustic UPMAX ISC builds upon Linears Hollywood-approved and industry-trusted line of upmixers and carries it forward to meet the opportunities afforded by ATSC 3.0 and
