Trusted products for DPP standards Wohler Technologies
By Heather McLean
Wohler Technologies will be discussing its participation in the new compliance programme created by the Digital Production Partnership (DPP), an industry collaboration that provides information and shares best practices to help producers and broadcasters maximise the potential of digital production. The DPP Compliance
Programme and subsequent guidelines are intended to help the industry identify trusted products for DPP standards across the UK and to speed up the successful implementation of the digital delivery process by ensuring files are compliant with DPP AS-11.
“Compliance with the DPP specification is becoming a critical part of operations for many content producers, and our goal is to enable customers to create DPP deliverables with efficiency and confidence,” said Craig Newbury, VP of sales for Wohler. “To this end, our
solution, powered by the RadiantGrid Intelligent Media Transformation Platform, automates the DPP compliance workflow entirely within the file- based domain, going beyond other solutions to include features such as automated content assembly and legalisation. “We’re pleased to be part of the new DPP Compliance Programme and look forward to demonstrating how sophisticated yet cost effective file-based processing can successfully speed and streamline the packaging and delivery of DPP-compliant content,” he noted. Through the new DPP
programme, participating manufacturers will provide details of completed tests, the sample files produced, and evidence of the results obtained on file delivery or processing products that are in
development or being marketed. The programme aims to establish a minimum quality threshold that manufacturers’ tested products need to meet. 10.B10
Third incarnation boosts mixer powers Yamaha By Michael Burns
The CL and QL series digital mixing consoles have received a significant boost with the latest V3.0 software for both broadcast and live sound applications
5.1 pan positioning can now be set via the touch panel or knobs and in addition to surround mixing, CL/QL V3.0 adds basic surround monitoring. Monitor alignment capability is also provided, with adjustment of relative speaker levels and delays. Mix to Matrix can be used for international sound production and Mix to Stereo can be used for stereo mixdown.
Dugan automatic mixing has been included on QL consoles since their launch last year, but V3.0 now brings the facility to all CL series mixers as well. Provided through close co-operation with Dan Dugan Sound Design, gain distribution for up to 16 speech microphone channels is automatically optimised in realtime. An accurate VCM model of the Buss Comp 369 buss compressor is also included. Yamaha said it was ideal for inserting on the stereo mix buss for increased loudness, more uniform levels and warm overall sound, for both live and broadcast applications. Frame delay in this version, means it's now possible to incrementally delay audio at the mixer to achieve proper
synchronisation with video signals. Additionally, V3.0 makes it possible to select eight band parametric EQ in the GEQ rack and effect rack. A realtime analyser (RTA) is now provided to support room tuning and other operations. Mix Minus, important for
relay broadcast applications, is now available to QL consoles, as well as CL series consoles from V2.0 upward. DCA assignment has been added to the parameters for Recall Safe, Focus Recall, and Global Paste and four banks are now provided for enhanced User Defined Keys convenience. It also allows keys to be grouped by function for improved audio production mixing efficiency. 8.D15
