NeuStar™ SW4.0 (Software):
Audio Processing for Digital Streams & Broadcasts
The NeuStar™ SW4.0is the only audio processing solution in the world specifically made to be placed ahead of low bit-rate audio codecs like those used in Internet streaming and digital radio. NeuStar is a complete audio processing solution that offers control over loudness, equalization and density with the unique benefits of Codec Pre-Conditioning™.
We designed NeuStar using Codec-Friendly™ approaches to unobtrusively add consistency to audio. NeuStar features the Neural Coding Load Analysis System (N-CLAS™) to decrease codec artifacts. This process predicts and visually displays when and where coding artifacts will likely occur. Then it subtly modifies the content ahead of actual encoding.
NeuStar allows broadcasters to maintain a "signature sound" while guaranteeing the best possible audio quality after digital transmission. NeuStar is the ideal tool for HD-Radio Multicasts, Internet Streams, ISDN / 3G / POTS remotes, Satellite Syndication, STL protection, DAB, DRM, Podcasts, etc...
