8 Graphics, Master Control Switching & Playout Servers Dual language 5.1 audio mixing s 16 channel internal audio mixer provides elegant handling of 5.1 audio, even with two languages. Grabbing viewers' attention with 5.1 audio 5.1 audio can grab viewers attention by using the full power of 3D sound. In this example, a helicopter appears to fly around a television viewer s room, as the audio plays out from six speakers connected to the television. The internal audio mixer of the processor can perform 16 channel /embedded audio mixing, and also provide an eight channel internal voiceover playout. This allows a range of sophisticated audio mixing operations, including dual language 5.1 mixing and 5.1 audio snipes.

9 Multi-lingual broadcasting with Simultaneous broadcasting in multiple languages Broadcasting in multiple languages allows stations to reach out across geographic borders, and also address national minorities. In the past, this has typically involved complex audio mixing configurations which have been very costly, and difficult to control manually and by automation. With the processor, multi-lingual broadcasting can be performed elegantly in both HD and SD, using highly integrated master control switching and channel branding processors. Mixing in eight languages The processor is ideally suited to multi-lingual broadcasting using /embedded audio mixing. For instance, the processor can be used to perform stereo /embedded audio mixing using eight stereo pairs for eight different languages.
