Automated Audio Production
- Are You on the Path?
The world of broadcast production is on the verge of a major revolution,
writes Peter Poers, Business Development Manager...

A

utomated
production
will
become commonplace. It starts
with robotic cameras, but ends with
automatic mixing of the audio sources
where system automation controls the
production gear.
Also next generation audio formats
under development will find their way
into mainstream broadcast production
and distribution in the near future.
Along with immersive audio, Object
Based Audio will come into play.
What does this all mean and what are
the challenges?
Television and radio broadcast
automated playout is now common.
It's no surprise that operators
are looking to expand automated
procedures. It goes hand-in-hand with
the introduction of IP-based signal
transport technologies that allow
more flexibility in production and
distribution.

On the audio side we will face a
situation where certain audio control
tasks need to be performed, but the
technology will no longer allow this
in the conventional way. There is no
space left in the production chain to
install a conventional audio control
room, and have a person correct the
audio signal composition. Don't get me
wrong, I am not pointing to situations
where creative decisions are involved,
I am talking about where technical
corrections and changes need to be
performed. In addition
there are clearly demands
for higher efficiency in
production and similarly
for remote live production.
At Jünger Audio we
are preparing for this
challenge by developing
quality audio processing
tools that are ready for

automation. We have sophisticated
adaptive audio control solutions in
place. We can look at level, sound,
mix and loudness with our Smart
Audio processing algorithms. Auto
Programme Feed Mixing and Auto
Commentary Mixing are two of the
procedures we can offer to make audio
production easier.
All our gear offers Ember+
network-based
remote
protocol
for easy integration with a variety
of automation control systems.

Furthermore the use of adaptive
controlled processing algorithms allow
us to offer autonomous audio control
procedures that can be integrated
to modern workflow designs. All our
algorithms are programmed in such
a way that we can integrate them
easily with other platforms supporting
virtualised production workflows. And
finally all our solutions are perfected
by long-term evaluation in the field
by audio experts, so we can promise
predictable audio control results.
Our
technology
will
enable
broadcasters to have automated
audio production with confidence and
predictable results, whilst ensuring
that end users benefit from the
enhanced listening experience of
future audio formats with reliable
performance.
Automated production
can't
and
shouldn't
substitute creative audio
production
and
postproduction, but it can
increase efficiency and
quality for technical audio
control procedures.
