flexAI CastCompanion™
Autonomous Broadcast Mixing Engine - powered by JAIC™
Professional live broadcast is where engineers can shine, with challenging conditions only the best of the trade will provide optimal results. But what if your team of professionals is too small to cover all bases?
flexAI CastCompanion™ is your solution, creating a perfect broadcast mix, keeping the output consistent, intelligible and ready for air, when live means now.
Set it. Forget it. Stay on air.
flexAI CastCompanion is designed to take care of the complete voice mix autonomously, even without individual configuration.
With intelligent defaults, continuous signal analysis and automatic adaptation, CastCompanion delivers reliable, broadcast-ready results from the start. For many workflows, it is your final set-and-forget solution.
CastCompanion continuously analyzes incoming voices and automatically balances levels, manages loudness and adapts the mix as conditions change.
There is no need for operators to ride faders, adjust thresholds or react to drastic changes. Even without individual setup, the system makes sensible decisions on its own.
At the same time, CastCompanion gives administrators access to the parameter depth and flexibility traditionally associated with Jünger Audio processing. From detailed control of the mixing behaviour to extensive automation, the system can be configured as deeply as the application requires.
Intelligent decisions. Deterministic audio.
JAIC™, the Jünger Audio Intelligent Companion, provides the intelligence behind CastCompanion. It continuously evaluates the incoming audio and optimizes the parameters controlling the mix. The actual audio processing remains within Jünger Audio’s deterministic real-time processing path.
AI-assisted denoising and loudess control pre-conditions challenging voice inputs before they enter the mix and a dedicated low-latency monitoring path allows commentators and operators to monitor naturally.
The result combines autonomous operation with the predictable latency, transparency and reliability required for live broadcast.
Loudness designed for live production
CastCompanion brings a new level of flexibility to real-time broadcast mixing by allowing loudness control to be based not only on Program Loudness, but also on Dialogue Loudness.
This makes it possible to support a wide range of international loudness workflows and recommendations, including those that use dialogue as a relevant loudness reference, directly within an autonomous real-time mixing environment.
At the heart of the loudness processing is Level Magic™, Jünger Audio’s world-leading loudness controller, providing the proven consistency, transparency and reliability required in professional broadcast environments.
This allows dialogue-aware loudness control to be used even in workflows where the complete programme cannot be analyzed in advance.
Built for live. Built to support your team.
