Leveling (RTLL) automatic loudness process-
ing, Dolby E/D/D+ encoding and decoding,
and Linear Acoustic UPMAX automatic
upmixing.
The company also exhibited the
9902-UDX-DSP-CI Channel Integrator,
a 3G/HD/SD-SDI/CVBS up/down/cross-
converter. Channel Integrator provides
the signal conversion and processing
tool set required to conform analogue
and digital A/V inputs, alongside their
metadata, to meet content- and channel-
delivery requirements.
For video, enhanced video processing
abilities include up/down/cross-conversion
with noise reduction and detail enhance-
ment. And for audio, features such as
analogue and AES audio embedding and
de-embedding, with multiple mixers and
per-channel delay, are incorporated in
the Channel Integrator.
In any IP-based facility, KVM (key-
board, video and mouse) solutions will
provide the flexibility to enhance workflow
efficiencies and distribution of signals, said
John Halksworth, senior product manager
for Adder Technology.
He continued: “Even if broadcasters are
not using IP now, they will be in five years’
time, simply because IP is a perfect car-
rier. Asia is not different compared to the
European or North American markets, as
broadcasters should take advantage of what
IP may bring.”
Adder Technology showcased the Adder
Link XDIP matrix solution that runs on IP
technology over a CATx network cable,
SAM. Straight Talking:

TSL Products’ Mark Davis: “We’re seeing more
media operators testing proofs-of-concept;
however, the fear of shortage of skills to bridge
between the migration is one reason why the
implementation of IP solution is progressing at
a slower pace.”
