The new Smart Audio & Mixing Engine (SAME) from Riedel promises “ultra-low-latency audio processing and unmatched automation” using all-new audio processing software.
SAME is based on commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) server cluster technology to deliver enhanced processing capabilities that scale to match production needs. With 30+ advanced audio processing tools and mixers, from automatic levelling and dynamic EQ to 5.1 up-mixing, loudness meters, or signal analysers, it handles many applications. Together with the universal inputs of Riedel’s new Network Stream Adapters, it can create a fully automated signal path.
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.”
SAME’s Audio Pilot offers an overview across any productions, with comprehensive monitoring and management. It also introduces process- and mixer-independent audio monitoring with fully automated path switching, so users can select and listen to any running process instantly across the entire system without any manual signal routing.
Jake Dodson, Executive Director Product Management at Riedel Communications, said: “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.”
