Riedel Communications will showcase its new Smart Audio & Mixing Engine SAME at IBC2024 which begins today (Friday September 13) and continues until September 16 at the RAI, Amsterdam.
SAME is an audio processing software suite which is designed to meet the evolving demands of modern audio workflows. It is based on the latest commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) server cluster technology and boasts a suite of over 30 advanced audio processing tools and mixers.
The options range from automatic levelling and dynamic equalisation to 5.1 upmixing, loudness metres, or signal analysers. The solution cater to a wide range of applications such as voice-over, automated mixing, audio monitoring, or in-line process insertion.
Roger Heiniger, senior product manager at Riedel Communications, said: “SAME will open up a whole world of new workflows for the audio production industry. With its powerful automation mechanisms and smart processing tools like fingerprint-based dynamic equalisation and automatic loudness-based levelling, it allows professionals to focus on creativity and content rather than getting bogged down by technicalities. We’re excited to see how SAME will enhance productions of all sizes.”
The Audio Pilot also introduces a process- and mixer-independent audio monitoring system with fully automated monitoring path switching, allowing users to select and listen to any running process instantly across the entire system without the need for manual signal routing.
The brand-new management platform Riedel STAGE simplifies the mixing and matching of devices, roles, and personnel without the need for protocol or IP knowledge. Riedel says this management backend features strong remote assistance capabilities for remote, or at-home production scenarios and is compliant with the highest IT security standards.
The browser-based tool also features extensive user-rights management with integration to corporate directories and third-party identity providers (LDAP/AD, SAML, etc.). Riedel says that because processing and I/O routing are not tied to a physical location, SAME enables rapid switching between different workspaces and production areas.
Jake Dodson, executive director product management at Riedel Communications, commented: “SAME is designed by audio experts for audio experts as a high performance, flexible audio toolkit to solve a variety of live production needs as they arise. Together with our new STAGE configuration, management, and operation platform, SAME heralds a new era of server-based solutions, addressing the industry’s need for flexible deployment models with the ability to flexibly scale in capacity.”
