Linear Acoustic AERO.qc to Bow at NAB

Linear Acoustic will debut its AERO.qc audio-quality controller — with features including ITU loudness measurement, loudness correction, selective upmixing, metering and monitoring — at NAB.

The company says AERO.qc is designed to simplify operational integration when deployed at the head of the program chain — during ingest, origination, or in-house production.

AERO.qc comes standard with eight channels of AES I/O plus HD/SD-SDI I/O for processing any of the 16 possible audio channels and metadata. Options include eight-channel analog monitor outputs with inputs for remote fader, mute and return-to-reference controls and indicators; Dolby® E/Digital (AC-3) decoding; HD-SDI de-embedding and re-embedding; and a hardware remote volume control.
