NUGEN Audio
At BVE 2015
A

t BVE 2015, in partnership
with HHB, NUGEN Audio will
demonstrate the latest innovations
in its industry-leading family of postproduction and broadcast audio
tools, including key new technologies
developed to meet the latest loudness
standards and further ease the burden
of loudness compliance.
The latest standard update for
short-form content such as adverts
or promos, EBU R128 S1, will be
supported with immediate availability
at BVE 2015. NUGEN Audio will launch
a series of parameter sets for its highly
popular Loudness Toolkit NLE plugins and LMB (Loudness Management
Batch) Processor software.
Implementing the recommendations
illustrated in the new supplement to
R128 for short-form content, these
downloads simplify and accelerate
configuration for those working to
the new measures. This update will be
available at no charge to the end user.

At BVE 2015, NUGEN
Audio will preview a new
upmix process specifically
designed for film and TV
production. Capable of
producing a downmixcompatible upmix with
optional dialogue isolation
in the centre channel, the
new technology is projected to be
available in early Q2 2015.
NUGEN Audio's LMB Processor is an
offline, file-based loudness analysis
and correction program for highthroughput applications. The MXF
Extension for LMB Processor allows
automated analysis and loudness
correction for the audio essence within
MXF files.
This MXF Extension has been updated
to include DPP AS-11 compatibility with
immediate availability. NUGEN Audio
is a participant in the DPP compliance
program. As a member of the AS-11
DPP compliance and certification

program, NUGEN Audio is helping to
develop quality assurance criteria for
the AS-11 DPP specification for digital
file formats.
As part of NUGEN Audio's ongoing
commitment to maintaining up-to-theminute standards compliance for its
clients, this update will be available at
no charge to the customer.
DynApt Extension: Adapting dynamic
content such as theatrical releases for
TV or TV content for mobile streaming
is a challenging task, particularly in
relation to dialogue. At BVE 2015,
NUGEN Audio will present DynApt,
Dynamic Adaptation Technology, a

NUGEN Audio LMB AS-11 DPP Settings

groundbreaking solution for intelligent
repurposing of audio for TV and
streaming at faster-than-real-time
speeds.
The DynApt algorithm has been
designed to adapt the dynamic content
of audio appropriately for different
listening environments and playout
systems while respecting the level
of dialogue in the original mix and
meeting specific loudness criteria.
The first implementation of this
new technology is now available as a
DynApt Extension for NUGEN Audio's
LMB Processor.

Link-Up With PAG At BVE 2015
T

he latest intelligent Li-Ion battery
technology from PAG can be seen
at BVE.
PAG will be showing its PAGlink
digital linking battery system, now
available in V-Mount and Gold Mount
formats.
Visitors to the show will be able
to see PAGlink in action, powering
Polecam and Steadicam systems. As
well as meeting the PAG team, you can
speak to broadcast professionals who
use PAGlink, and discover how well it
meets their portable power demands.
PAGlink batteries are smaller
and lighter than those of an
equivalent capacity offered by other
manufacturers. They incorporate
new technology that is designed to
make broadcast acquisition and video
production easier. This patented

technology is the most advanced in the
industry and has been developed and
manufactured by PAG, in the UK.
PAGlink enables you to combine the
capacities of two or more batteries,
in any state of charge, for a greater
capacity and a longer run-time. Linking
two 96Wh packs creates a 192Wh
battery; linking three increases this to
288Wh. Linking batteries also allows
a higher current-draw of up to 12A,
more power than any other system can
provide.
Batteries can be hot-swapped
for continuous power, without an
additional device, eliminating timewasting camera reboots.
PAG ensures that its batteries have
the highest safety standard and
perform reliably over the longest
possible cycle life, to provide the best
value for money.
PAG
Li-Ion
batteries
are
independently tested to UN standards,
in accordance with air transport
regulations. They have capacities
below 100Wh, which allows you to fly
legally with all the power you need.
PAG is offering advice on the air

PAGlink V-Mount batteries, charger and PowerHub

transport of your Li-Ion batteries, at
the show.
The PAGlink system allows batteries
to be linked for charging - an industry
first. Up to 16 batteries can be charged
simultaneously, eight on each position,
using a PAGlink PL16 charger. Two
stacks of four batteries will be fully
charged overnight. PAG also offers an
ultra-compact PAGlink Micro Charger
for those who like to travel light.
You will never be short of outputs
with the PAGlink PowerHub. This
clever device sits between two PAGlink
batteries and allows you to draw power
for all your camera accessories, via

four x D-Tap outputs (interchangeable
with Hirose or PP90 options). It also
incorporates a USB output for charging
your smartphone etc.
Managing your battery inventory
is made easier by using the PAGlink
Battery Reader. It displays information
stored in the battery, such as the
number of cycles and the date of
manufacture.
Based in London, PAG is one of the
longest established global providers
of high quality, innovative portable
power solutions for broadcast
acquisition, video production and
digital cinematography.
