Engineered on the foundation of the company’s supremely successful first- and second-generation digital television audio processors, the third-generation AERO.air™ enables broadcasters to deliver compelling 5.1-channel surround sound while saving time, money, and space. The AERO.air also represents the world’s first TV audio processor to feature built-in Dolby^® Digital (AC-3) encoding.

The comprehensive AERO.air is equipped with multiple loudness controllers, dual upmixers, metadata management, as well as full-time two-channel downmixing to support legacy stereo or analog paths. Built-in AutoMAX-II™ processing detects incoming audio and automatically upmixes only when necessary, producing a full-time compelling 5.1 channel output. The processor accepts 5.1-channel network audio, two-channel
local audio, SAP/DVS, and digital or analog auxiliary/EAS audio for processing. 

Available options include HD/SD-SDI input for de-embedding any of the possible 16 audio channels and vertical ancillary (VANC) metadata, internal 5.1+2 dual Dolby Digital (AC-3) encoders, HD/SD-SDI I/O for de-embedding and re-embedding up to 16 channels of audio plus SMPTE 2020 (VANC) metadata, auto-sensing Dolby E/AC-3 decoding, and CrowdControl™ dialog protection.

• upMAX™ two-channel to 5.1-channel upconversion
• AutoMAX-II™ automatic upmixing to fix two-channel audio mistakenly signaled as 5.1-channel
