NUGEN Audio AMB Extensions

AMB is a modular application for Windows and OSX that enables post production facilities to speed up workflows significantly for a range of different tasks, including upmixing and loudness management.

AMB provides unprecedented power and control using threaded algorithm processing and multiple processing threads that are addressable for parallel file and queue handling.

Note: The AMB Extensions require at least one core processing module.

DynApt extension

NUGEN Audio’s award winning technology for loudness-compliant dynamic adaptation, DynApt allows the reduction of dynamics in the audio while avoiding the introduction of dialog clarity issues common in repurposed content. This extension enables LRA targeting and dynamic content repurposing, identifies and respects transitions whilst preserving dialog clarity, and streamlines feature film adaptation for TV, TV for web, and radio for podcast.

ProRes and MXF extensions

With the ProRes module, PCM audio is natively handled within any ProRes or .mov container, leaving video and metadata untouched.

With the MXF module, AMB natively handles PCM audio within multipleMXF formats (PCM audio in OP-1a and OP-Atom operating patterns) leaving other data intact, saving time and avoiding potential file conversion errors.

Dolby E extension

Native decoding and encoding of Dolby E files. The Dolby E module enables AMB to decode Dolby E files to PCM audio and/or encode PCM audio to Dolby E, with full Dolby meta data support.

Enterprise extension

Full automation, scripting and reporting in AMB and straightforward MAM integration. The Enterprise extension maximizes efficiency for larger network workflows.

Features include email notifications for queue completion and analysis failure, post-processing script execution and cross-platform command line support (OSX/Windows).

Queue/Thread expansions

The base configuration of AMB accesses two watch folders/queues as standard. Each queue expansion provides an additional watched folder and/or processing queue, up to a total of 16.

As standard, the base AMB configuration also includes two independent processing threads that optimize workflows by allowing two simultaneous processes to run in parallel. For even greater power and efficiency, an AMB thread expansion can be added; each instance will activate an extra processing thread up to a total of 16.
