For Linear Acoustic, BroadcastAsia2011 is a showcase of innovative new products, features, enhanced designs and exclusive upgrades for its family of Aero products, including the new 2RU version of Aero.air, the company’s flagship TV audio processor. Offered in a sleek, smaller and lighter 2RU chassis, the new Aero.air model is now equipped with many standard features that were previously available as optional upgrades. For example, HD/SD-SDI I.O allows for de-embedding and re-embedding of up to 16 channels of audio plus SMPTE 2020 (VANC) metadata. Upmax-ll provides a more spacious and stable 5.1 upmix from a stereo source, while the CrowdControl feature ensures that dialogue is preserved even in rich stereo mixes. At booth 4M2-06, where Linear Acoustic is exhibiting with systems integrator Gencom, there will also be a debut of the Aero.lite transmission audio/loudness manager. Designed specifically to give local and regional broadcasters the advantage of Linear Acoustic loudness control technology, Aero.lite provides legal compliance and the features necessary for smooth audio transmission, says Linear Acoustic. In addition, the company is showcasing the Aero.file file-based audio/loudness manager, which aims to bring proven audio technologies to the file-based domain. The Aero.file is also now equipped with Dolby E encoding and EBU mode to complement the existing ITU-R BS.1770 loudness measurement algorithm.
