Mediatec Invests In Jünger Audio's Level Magic

One of Europe's largest corporations working with technical solutions for event and television productions, Mediatec, has invested in Jünger Audio's Level Magic technology to ensure the quality of its HD-SDI audio signals.
Mediatec operates in four specific areas – Broadcast, Display, Event and Installation. Its broadcast arm, Mediatec Broadcast, provides OB and transmission solutions to a wide range of clients.
Its facilities include a fleet of more than 20 OB trucks, flight-pack facilities, studios, special cameras, 30-camera link systems, uplink trucks and fibre MCR's.
In recent months Mediatec Broadcast has installed Jünger Audio's modular C8000 LEVEL MAGIC systems in facilities it has built for two different clients.
On both occasions the equipment was chosen because it could encode and decode Dolby E and D.
Jünger Audio's Level Magic is a sophisticated adaptive level control algorithm that is designed to adjust the level from any source at any time, with no pumping, breathing or distortion.
It is based on a simultaneous combination of an AGC, a Transient Processor for fast changes and a 'look ahead' Peak Limiter for continuous unattended control of any programme material, regardless of its original source.
Capable of using any kind of I/O (Analog and Digital) sources, as well as SDI, HD/SDI, Dolby 5.1 and all its related metadata, it is available in a variety of configurations to suit different applications.
Arne Stenstadvold, Mediatec Broadcast's Unit Manager who is responsible for the various studios and control rooms operated by the Group in Oslo, Norway, said: "At this facility we have two transmission control rooms transmitting three channels. We also have one studio with a production control room.
"Over the last few years we have handled the playout for a local sports channel and during that time we used Jünger Audio limiters to provide viewers with an enhanced listening experience.
"However, in 2009 we were asked to build a completely new control room for the channel and for its new sister channel.
"As part of the installation we bought a Jünger Audio C8000 modular Level Magic system with processing for two channels. This includes full DOBLY E/D decode/encode for one of the channels. It is now fully operational."
Mediatec Broadcast also specified a Jünger Audio C8000 system for another project – this time in a single channel HD format but with scope to expand it in the future.
