Jünger Audio and Merging Technologies announced that they have signed a technology partnership that will see Jünger Audio’s groundbreaking LEVEL MAGIC™ Loudness control solution incorporated into Merging’s new MXFix™ batch-processing wrap tool. The combination of industry proven MXF metadata conformity wrapping, Final Check loudness analysis, Surcode Dolby E® decoding and encoding plug-ins and LEVEL MAGIC™ provides a powerful all-in-one media compliance batch processing wrap tool.

Jünger Audio has achieved notable success with a range of hardware units offering LEVEL MAGIC™ as one of the processes. These incorporate ATSC, ITU and EBU R128 recommendations on Loudness and have already been adopted by broadcasters such as Discovery Channel, MediaCorp, Canal +, Astro and RTL. The addition of LEVEL MAGIC™ to MXFix is the first time it has been offered as part of a suite of software options. MXFix with LEVEL MAGIC™ was unveiled for the first time at the IBC.

Peter Poers, Managing Director of Jünger Audio, says: “We are delighted to be in partnership with Merging Technologies because this “one-stop� process is popular with some broadcasters and it is important to have LEVEL MAGIC™ as part of the process, integrated into the network and working faster than real-time. Our 20-plus years of expertise in dynamic processing and Merging’s similar experience in software and server development, is an ideal combination.�

“When we were looking to add control as the next step after our Final Check Loudness analyser, Jünger Audio’s LEVEL MAGIC™ was really the obvious choice.� comments Claude Cellier, Merging’s CEO. “We are delighted by the cooperation we have received from Peter and the team and we are sure it will be a winning combination.�
