Booth 1301
New Wohler Products at 2012 CCW:
RadiantGrid(TM)
The Wohler RadiantGrid(TM) New Media Automation Platform offers a more efficient solution for file-based creation, standards conversion, quality control (QC), and distribution of media, while augmenting and integrating with trafficking, rights management, linear automation, and business-process management systems. At the heart of the platform is RadiantGrid's TrueGrid(TM) -- an enhanced, robust media-transformation and parallel-processing engine -- coupled with an underlying content management fabric that leverages intelligent media-processing functions to generate outstanding results at unrivaled speeds. Powered by this engine, RadiantGrid can manage everything from faster-than-real-time transcoding and standards conversion, to more complex processing such as mixed cadence correction, video optimization, audio-loudness conformance, and more.

WohlerLoudness(TM) File-Based Loudness Correction With AERO.file Technology
Making its debut at 2012 CCW will be WohlerLoudness(TM), Wohler's newest turnkey solution powered by RadiantGrid(TM) and leveraging Linear Acoustic's industry-leading AERO.file technology. This platform provides a proven solution for file-based loudness correction with built-in upmix and downmix capabilities. Utilizing file-based inspection/correction software, this new solution allows operators to identify and correct loudness issues at ingest, and before they become a problem. The platform performs multipass scaling, loudness range control, and upmixing and downmixing with support for Dolby(R) Digital (AC-3) and Dolby E decoding and encoding, plus a host of codecs for other audio formats. WohlerLoudness also manages ancillary data and advanced audio processing for channel remapping and insertion of new channels into the video/audio process, and is fully compliant with ITU-R BS.1770 and EBU R128.

AMP1-MADIe
The Wohler AMP1-MADIe is a new in-rack portable MADI unit with Ethernet control and configuration. The new system, which is ideal for sports productions and other live broadcasts, can be connected in series with a 56- or 64-channel MADI stream for individual volume adjustment and audible monitoring of any eight selected MADI channels at once. Designed specifically for customers requiring unique functionality equivalent to a MADI audio hot mic mixer, Wohler's new AMP1-MADIe simplifies rapid selection and monitoring of MADI signals in fast-paced live-to-air production environments.

RMQ-230 Quad-Split Monitor
The RMQ-230 quad-split video monitor allows users to watch video and monitor data in up to four display windows on a single 23-inch, 1920x1080, LED-backlight screen. RMQ-230 series monitors accept 3G/HD/SD-SDI, analog composite, and HDMI(R) inputs in varying configurations tailored for different monitoring applications. In addition to allowing broadcasters to mix and match video input formats on a single screen, RMQ-230 monitors can display waveform and vectorscope while also providing audio de-embedding metering of up to eight channels, UMD, timecode, and various markers. While the new Wohler LCD monitor can display video and monitoring features in four uniform areas, broadcasters also can configure the system as a single full screen, or with one large and three smaller windows. The latter configuration is ideal when using a PC workstation screen and A/V confidence-monitoring simultaneously.
