Jünger Audio D*AP4 VAP – 2 Channel Voice Audio Processor

Description Specifications Jünger Audio D*AP4 VAP – 2 Channel Voice Audio Processor Aimed at applications including radio broadcast, TV voice over and audio post production, the D*AP4 VAP is designed to ensure that vocal quality and accuracy is always maintained at its best from program to program and day to day. The D*AP4 VAP features a two channel voice signal path and separate stereo program path for either standalone voice processing, or to provide automatic or manual integration of voice and program signals. An optional microphone pre-amp allows direct input to the dedicated voice path to maintain complete control of the overall voice presentation. The range of on-board signal processing comprises of: Mid/Side Matrix As a creative tool, the M/S Matrix uses two mics placed closely together to capture and produce variable width stereo recordings. Phase Rotator The Phase Rotator automatically detects imbalanced audio waveforms and restores symmetry to prevent transients that may unnecessarily trigger downstream processing. De-Esser The De-Esser greatly reduces the effect of excessive sibilance from spoken voices. Parametric and Dynamic EQ A 5-band Parametric EQ is coupled with Spectral Signature dynamic equalizer, a powerful creative tool allowing adaptive control of spectral balance. Incoming audio is analyzed and its spectral structure is compared to a predetermined “reference” curve. This allows dynamic EQ corrections to be applied only if necessary to achieve a consistent sound image and tonal balance. Dynamics In addition to a traditional upward compressor, a threshold based downward compressor is also included. Both types adaptively adjust timing parameters based on the incoming audio structure. An expander/gate effectively removes low-level noise without introducing artifacts. Voice Leveler To assist in loudness based programming, a voice leveler can be used to pre-condition the voice component prior to combining it with the program element. Voice Over Voice Over provides seamless integration of voice and program content in situations such as continuity announcements or video description with automatic ducking. Level Magic Loudness Management Based on a unique multi-loop control principle, the optional Level Magic algorithm provides adaptive wideband loudness control with exceptionally high audio quality that is free of coloration, pumping, distortion or modulation effects. The optional J*AM software displays input v/s output levels and can log long term values to a destination folder anywhere on the network. System Integration All system parameters are remotely accessible allowing the unit to be integrated and remotely operated by broadcast control systems. An advanced built-in Event Management tool allows the remote loading of parameter presets either by hotkeys on the optional X*AP RM1 remote panel, by 8 onboard GPI/O’s or by network commands using the Ember control protocol. This makes it easy to assign individual settings to each user and re-call them instantly. Web Configuration A web interface allows easy and intuitive setup and configuration from anywhere in your network. On screen metering and measurements are available for easy reference. Mobile User Interface A dedicated “mobile” UI is tailored specifically for smaller displays such as tablets or smartphones and offers fast access to user profiles and commonly required functions such as Cough Cut and Voice Over. Interfaces and System Security Audio I/O’s range from on board native AES/EBU to optional 3G SDI including video delay, MADI, Dante® audio over IP, analog and high quality mic pre-amps. Power fail bypass relays are fitted as standard and with dual redundant PSU’s and SNMP integration, the unit ensures maximum operational safety and peace of mind for today’s critical 24/7 radio and TV broadcast or audio production facilities.   Features: Dual mono or stereo voice channel configuration 2 channel program path in addition to voice channels Algorithms specialized for voice processing Sophisticated user profile management De-Esser 5 band Parametric EQ and Spectral SignatureTM dynamic EQ Dynamics with upward/downward compressor and expander/gate Voice leveler Voice Over functionality True peak limiting Optional Level Magic loudness management compliant with all current standards and recommendations Optional loudness logging software (J*AM) Ethernet connectivity for set up and control via web browser External control via network or GPI/O’s Power-fail bypass relays 19”, 1RU device, redundant PSU General • 2 channel voice processor (mono or stereo) • 2 channel program path processing • 2 channel monitor output • Expandable by hard and software options Audio Sample Rate 44.1, 48, 88.2, 96kHz, (32 … 196kHz @ input with SRC) ±150ppm sync input capture, ±25ppm master-sync stability Relevant specifications comply with AES3-X-2009, IEC 60985 and AES11-2009 2 channels (1 stereo input), XLR-3 connector 24bits, transparent forwarding of PCM and compressed audio (w/o SRC) 24bits, PCM, sample rate converter (SRC) activated Impedance 110Ohm, differential Input level 0.3 … 5Vpp @ 110Ohm differential AES/EBU Input Sample Rate Converter (SRC): THD N -120dB @ 0dBFS, 1kHz Latency < 0.3ms AES/EBU Output Relevant specifications comply with AES3-X-2009, IEC 60985 and AES11-2009 2 channels (1 stereo output), XLR-3 connector 24bits, transparent forwarding of PCM and compressed audio Impedance 110Ohm, differential Output voltage 3Vpp (typ.) @ 110Ohm differential Power fail relay bypass between AES/EBU input and output (can be deactivated by jumper) Sync Input Multi-standard synchronization interface for AES/EBU, wordclock or videosync (black burst, tri level), complies with AES11-2009 and relevant audio or video standards Connector type: BNC AES/EBU input 0.3 … 5Vpp @ 75Ohm single-ended Wordclock input 1 … 5Vpp @ 75Ohm single-ended Video-sync input 1Vpp (nom.) @ 75Ohm single-ended Rates supported: 23.975, 24, 24.975, 25, 29.97, 30, 49.95, 50, 59.94, 60fps (SD and HD) On-board audio ports and master-sync capable option boards may also be selectable as sync source Sync Output Wordclock output 2.4V (typ.) @ R = 75Ohm single-ended Word clock output, complies with AES11-2009 Connector type BNC Network Interface RJ45 connector, 10/100Mbit Ethernet auto sense, full duplex, auto MDI/X USB Interface USB 2.0 connector to internal console interface GPI Signals 8 general purpose inputs (GPI), divided into 2 groups with separate common signal, isolated Connector type D-Sub25 connector female, same for GPO Input conditions 3 … 24Vdc, < 5mA Auxiliary supply 5V (nom.), 200mA (max.), isolated GPO Signals 8 general purpose outputs (GPO), SPST, divided into 2 groups with separate common signal, isolated Connector type D-Sub25 connector female, same for GPI Output conditions 24Vac/dc (max.), 120mA (max.)
