orldCast
Systems
and Orban Labs have
entered into an agreement
where Orban has procured
the APTmpX
codec
technology for use in its line
of FM processors including
the Optimod 5950, 5750
and Trio-FM products.
WorldCast has rolled out
the APTmpX
technology
on their APT Codec range and also
incorporated the algorithm directly
on a decoder built into their awardwinning
Ecreso FM AiO Series
Transmitter range.
APTmpX is already a field-proven
technology and is used in hundreds
of MPX STL links globally.
The key benefits over other MPX
compression methods in the market
is the absolute transparent nature of
the codec, being rooted in ADPCM as
opposed to a psychoacoustic code
base.
This gives the immediate benefit of
maintaining perfect sonic fidelity and
precise peak control of the high-end
processor from which the MPX signal
has been derived.
The other crucial advantage with
APTmpX, thanks to the transparent
nature of the algorithm, is that it will
not degrade in any way the Nielsen
watermarking technology - used in
the USA market to validate station
ratings.
Hartmut Foerster, Product Manager
Systems stated:
