Description

Essential Information About AMB Enterprise Software

Automate your post-production workflows with watched folders, queues, and scripts for centralized control across the studio.
Ultra-fast loudness compliance (EBU R128 / ITU-R BS.1770) and detailed reports, up to 100x real-time speed.
Batch upmix to 5.1/7.1 with downmix compatibility and Halo Upmix quality.
Modular and scalable architecture supporting up to 16 queues and 16 threads to handle production peaks and multi-region operations.

Requirements Based on License Type

AMB Enterprise is an extension of NUGEN Audio's "Audio Management Batch (AMB)": it requires the base AMB software to be installed and activated on macOS or Windows. For any education ("EDU") license, a nominative eligibility proof is required. Upgrades require a valid AMB serial number.

Purpose of AMB Enterprise

Designed for ingest chains, QC, and broadcast, AMB Enterprise accelerates batch processing of audio/AV assets: loudness verification and correction, multi-territory re-versioning, dynamic adaptation for web, TV, and podcast, and seamless integration with MAM systems. It centralizes monitoring, auto-correction, and traceability for consistently compliant deliverables.

Main Features

Enterprise-Level Automation and Orchestration

Schedule analysis and processing via watched folders, multiply parallel queues, trigger post-processing scripts, and control AMB via command line (macOS/Windows). Receive email notifications upon queue completion or analysis failure, and generate comprehensive audit reports.

Large-Scale Loudness Compliance

Fast profiling and correction according to EBU R128 and ITU-R BS.1770 (CALM), with advanced auto-correct conditions, condensed/extended logs, and "post-mortem" graphs. Processing speeds typically reach up to 100x real-time.

Batch Multichannel Upmix

The Halo Upmix plug-in technology provides high-quality automatic upmixing to 5.1 and 7.1 from stereo or multichannel sources, with exact downmix compatibility if needed.

DynApt Dynamic Adaptation

DynApt technology reduces dynamic range while preserving dialogue intelligibility, respects transitions, and allows LRA targeting to adapt feature films for TV, radio for podcasts, etc.

Broadcast Formats and Metadata Preservation

ProRes and MXF modules natively handle PCM audio inside the container (ProRes/.mov, MXF OP-1a and OP-Atom) while keeping video and metadata intact. The Dolby E module ensures native decoding/encoding with full metadata support.

Scalability and Networked Work

Scale up to 16 watched folders/queues and 16 threads to parallelize tasks. Automatically submit the same file to multiple queues to create deliverables compliant with different regional standards and platforms (film, TV, web).
