Essential Information About the NUGEN AMB Loudness Module Software
- Ultra-fast batch processing for loudness normalization compliant with ITU-R BS.1770 (CALM) and EBU R128, up to "100x" real-time speed.
- Advanced automation: watched folders, multiple queues, auto-correction conditions, and detailed logging.
- Modular and scalable architecture with extensions (DynApt, UpMix, MXF, ProRes, Dolby E) and increased threads/queues.
- Intuitive interface for ingest, post-production, and broadcast, with "post-mortem" reports and control graphs.
Requirements According to License Type
If you purchase an EDU license, a student/teacher or institution proof is required. For an UPG (upgrade) license, a valid previous license of NUGEN AMB or eligible module is necessary. For a CG (crossgrade) license, a license of an equivalent competing loudness management/batch processing software may be requested. Always verify eligibility before purchase.
What NUGEN AMB Loudness Module Is For
NUGEN AMB is designed to quickly analyze, normalize, and conform large volumes of audio files to the most common loudness standards. It targets post-production studios, TV broadcasters, streaming platforms, and ingest teams who need to deliver consistent masters for cinema, TV, and web while meeting strict multi-region quality criteria.
Main Features
Loudness Compliance and Automatic Correction
Loudness analysis based on ITU-R BS.1770 (CALM) and EBU R128 standards, with adjustable thresholds, specific LRA targets, and auto-correction rules. Warnings and error indicators help catch and fix non-compliances right at output.
Industrial Automation
"Watched folders" and multiple queues to automatically re-version the same asset for different deliveries (regions, networks, platforms). Comprehensive and condensed logging, plus graphs for audit and compliance evidence.
Speed and Scalability
Processing at over "100x" real-time thanks to "threaded algorithm processing." Scalable deployment with up to 16 processor threads, 16 watched folders, and parallel queues to handle load peaks.
Broadcast-Oriented Extensions
DynApt for repurposing feature films -> TV -> web while preserving dialogue intelligibility and targeting LRA. Dolby E, MXF, and ProRes extensions for native container processing with full metadata support and override capabilities.
