Linear Acoustic offers sneak peak at IBC lineup

Linear Acoustic will return to Europe once again to attend this year’s IBC and introduce its latest products to the European market. Visit Hall 8, Booth 8.D30 to check out the Linear Acoustic lineup, including the AERO.100, AERO.lite SDI, and UPMAX v4.

AERO.100 DTV Audio Processor
The AERO.100 is a cost-effective 1RU unit that comes standard with AEROMAX loudness control, upmixing/downmixing via UPMAX II, Dolby Digital (AC-3) and Dolby E decoding, Dolby Digital (AC-3) encoding, ITU (AI) limiter, video delay, and Linear Acoustic Intelligent Dynamics (ID) hybrid metadata processing.

“We created AERO.100 with affordability in mind,” says Christina Carroll, Linear Acoustic Vice President/Executive Director. “We know broadcasters are working with tighter budgets than ever and we recognize there was an opportunity in our lineup to provide a fully-loaded processor at a price advantage. AERO.100 gives up nothing in terms of audio quality, yet represents a tremendous value to our customers.”

AERO.lite SDI Loudness Controller
The AERO.lite SDI is an SDI-only version (no AES or analog I/O) of our standard AERO.lite Loudness Controller. This easy-to-use and budget-friendly processor features AEROMAX loudness control and is ideal for stations who do not broadcast in 5.1 or for “Dot 2″ and “Dot 3″ channels.

A built-in ITU-R BS.1770 loudness meter and SNMP monitoring are optionally available.

UPMAX v4 Upmixer
The UPMAX v4 is the latest version of our popular UPMAX unit. It is supported by an 8 channel AES/SDI input/output configuration and includes AutoMAX auto-detection for seamless transitions between stereo and surround inputs.

Loudness metering and two-channel downmixing are also included.
