With greater scrutiny on budgetary spend, there is ever greater pressure on broadcast engineers to make the right choice of equipment for their network. Concerns about reliability, future scalability and, of course, cost are foremost in every engineers mind for those critical purchase decisions.

The WorldNet Oslo is the industry’s most robust, professional platform for high quality FM, HD Radio/DAB and Surround Sound audio contribution and distribution.

Audio Processing Technology is at the forefront of digital audio data compression technology, supplying that technology in a variety of forms to leading manufacturers of broadcast, professional audio, associated video and telecommunications equipment throughout the world. The highly acclaimed apt-X™ 4:1 compression algorithm was created at the company’s Belfast headquarters where a continuing programme of research and development ensures that future generations of APT products will be equally commercially attractive.

Delivery of program content to a network’s transmitter site is a fundamental concern for radio networks. Should the link fail, broadcasters may be able to survive for a short period of time by using emergency playout at the Tx location, however “dead air” is an absolute and categorical no-no.

Over the last number of years, APT has gained extensive experience in the field of audio over IP networking. We have supported many customers through the transition from synchronous to IP and worked hard in standards bodies within the industry to ensure interoperability of audio codecs over IP networks. Now, with the help of this booklet, we would like to share our knowledge and experience with you.

APT have been providing a range of high quality audio coding algorithms to the broadcast and pro-audio industries for over 20 years. Our highly acclaimed range of apt-X algorithms are utilized by over 20,000 radio stations worldwide and the technology is universally acknowledged as the ultimate professional grade audio codec with a delay of less than 2ms. Our range of hardware audio codec solutions incorporate apt-X technology to enable high-quality audio to be delivered over a range of telecom links.

Recent reviews of Bluetooth stereo headphones have been damned with faint praise: -“Audio quality is adequate” “Sounds Reasonable”, “good enough for any non-musical listening or for background music”, “does not compete on sound quality with comparably priced wired headphones”, “sounded merely okay as a pair of headphones”.

In the world of audio, Freescale processors are behind it all—playing the music, producing the music, mastering CDs and DVDs, and then playing back that content at movie theaters, in home theaters and in the car. Freescale’s software and hardware set the benchmark for audio systems, and our long-standing and continuing partnerships with leading tool companies are an essential part of that leadership.

For the forthcoming Olympics in Beijing, several European Public Service broadcasters will take home audio via IP. Some will go over the well managed, low-jitter, low delay EBU Fine network with Net Insight Nimbras in combination with satellite feeds, others will use the public internet.

APPLICATIONS’ REQUIREMENTS FOR VIDEO SUPPORT AND ADDITIONAL AUDIO CHANNELS TO COPE WITH STEREO AND SURROUND REPRODUCTION DRIVE THE NEED FOR CODECS WITH LOW LATENCY AND OPTIMAL SOUND QUALITY. USING A BLUETOOTH CHIP SET SIMPLIFIES DEVELOPMENT AND ENABLES THE MANUFACTURER TO LEVERAGE THE HIGH DEGREE OF BRAND RECOGNITION THAT BLUETOOTH NOW ENJOYS AMONG CONSUMERS.

At the recent AES convention in Munich, audio technology house APTX (formerly APT, Audio Processing Technology) announced that it is developing a new, scalable variant of its “apt-X” audio compression algorithm. The new codec is called “apt-X Scalable,” and is intended to be used as a single-codec solution in products that process a range of audio inputs, such as mobile devices that include voice, music, ringtones, and other forms of audio.
