Let DB6 manage your audio loudness to stay compliant with broadcast standards and legislation at all times. DB6 handles up to 3 SD/HD/3G streams in a single rack space unit, measuring and correcting loudness as well as up and down converting your signal and logging stats for documentation and evaluation.

In short, it’s the ultimate approach to intelligent, one-step Loudness Management.

One-Step Loudness ManagementJust Plug & Play with the New, Powerful LoudnessWizard™ Algorithm

True Value Cost-Effective, High-Density, Audio at Its Finest

Forever Compliant Be Compliant Today, Stay Compliant Tomorrow

High Density, Low ‘Per-Stream’ CostDensity is key at broadcast stations and of course in OB Vans. Therefore, our new DB6 platform is housed in a single rack space unit that allows you to process up to 3 simultaneous SD/HD/3G streams, making it one of the densest solutions on the market. Surely, density does not necessarily equal cost-effectiveness, but in this particular case, the cost per stream is highly competitive. With DB6 you get two processing engines per stream, ready to deliver for any platform and codec.

DB6INTELLIGENT LOUDNESS MANAGEMENT

The LoudnessWizard™ Algorithm All you need in one simple, easy-to-use process that combines:

► Automatic Loudness Correction► Automatic Up-conversion► Automatic Down-mix► Look-ahead Lip-sync Delay► True-peak Limiting► Handling of Normalized and Non-normalized Content

LM6 Loudness Radar Meter ► Complete Loudness Overview ► Loudness History, Momentary Loudness, True-Peak Level, Program Loudness & Loudness Range in a Single View► Mono, Stereo & 5.1► 24/7 Logging

Ultimate Compliance Regardless of whether you measure (LM6) or correct (LoudnessWizard) loudness, DB6 is compliant with all major broadcast standards, including ITU-R BS.1770-3, EBU R128, ATSC A/85, TR-B32 and OP-59. We have taken part in many aspects of defining and developing these standards and are dedicated to always keeping our broadcast equipment up to date whenever a new revision of a major broadcast standard is being released. Don’t just be compliant, stay compliant!

Dual Redundancy It does not matter how well a transmission unit does its job, if it is not completely reliable. Being the last line of defense in a live scenario calls for ultimate redundancy and DB6 gives you exactly that, making sure you will never be let down while on air.

► Dual Fans► Dual Fuses ► Dual Power Inlets

DB6 is available in two different versions – DB6 Multi and DB6 Single. As the name implies, DB6 Single handles one SD/HD/3G stream, which makes it the perfect choice for the local broadcaster or live production. DB6 Multi also comes with the ability to process one stream right out of the box, but it is also possible to install one or two additional ‘Transmission 3G’ dual-engine cards and thereby increase the count of total streams per unit to two or three, making DB6 Multi the perfect, high-density solution for any TV station in need of processing multiple streams simultaneously. Each Transmission 3G card is capable of running two instances of the LoudnessWizard algorithm as well as two LM6 Loudness Radar Meters simultaneously.

Apart from the expandability of DB6 Multi, both versions are identical, featuring the same high-quality hardware and the same powerful software algorithms.

Control ► SNMP - Send Out Messages through Ethernet to an SNMP Application.► 100BaseT Full Duplex Ethernet – Communicate with DB6 via Standard Ethernet. A Second Port for Daisy Chaining, Allowing You to Acess a Large Number of Devices on the Same Ethernet.► 14 Pin GPIO – Control Main Features
