Arabic broadcaster on level ground for sports coverage

Joining the list of broadcasters attempting to address the growing problem of broadcast audio level inconsistency, Al Jazeera Sports has installed Jünger Audio Level Magic processors to provide automatic level monitoring across all 19 of its playout channels.

Dubai-based systems integrator Qvest Media FZ handled as part of a larger project to implement a tapeless ingest, editing and playout platform at Al Jazeera Sports’ new broadcasting centre in Doha, Qatar. ‘We selected Jünger Audio for limiting, levelling and sound operation control based on the high quality of its products and their intuitive handling,’ says Stephan Seeländer, General Manager of Qvest Media. ‘The nearly loss-free sound delivered by Jünger Audio’s Level Magic solution, despite heavy sound corrections, is extremely well suited to the level monitoring requirements at Al Jazeera Sports’ playout facility.’

The installation includes 18 Jünger B46 digital dynamics processors, each incorporating an HD-SDI board for PGM-Out limiting and levelling. B46 integrates the Level Magic adaptive loudness algorithm, which can simultaneously handle slow changes (AGC), fast changes (Transient processing) and Look Ahead peak limiting without coloration, pumping, breathing, distortion or modulation effects.

Qvest Media has also supplied Al Jazeera Sports with six Jünger Audio MIX4 compact four-fader mixers, each with two HD-SDI boards. These simple mixers are very easy to operate and offer many different configuration possibilities making them ideally suited to a wide range of applications in Radio and TV including editing, voice over, and console back-up. In Al Jazeera Sports’ case they are being used for channel swap and operation control.

Al Jazeera Sports broadcasts a diverse selection of international sports leagues and events, such as football, tennis, motor sports and the currently ongoing 16th Asian Games. The broadcaster has a combination of Free-TV and Pay-TV channels (many of them in HDTV) and offers 24/7 sports programming.

‘We’ve been very proud to supply, through QVEST, Al Jazeera Sports Playout with our technology,’ says Jünger Audio’s MD, Peter Poers. ‘It was another step of a continuous relationship over the years between us and the Al Jazeera group. The steady, hassle free and easy to use processing solutions offered by Jünger Audio, and in particular Level Magic our adaptive loudness control algorithm, having proved to be perfectly reliable and efficient for the numerous channels and programme contents provided by this famous Middle East broadcaster.’
