Mediaproxy’s LogServer is compliance with Dolby Atmos/Dolby Digital Plus

Mediaproxy, a provider of software-based IP compliance solutions, has been awarded formal approval by Dolby for its Dolby Digital Plus and Dolby AC-4 decoders. 

This development adds support for all Dolby’s distribution codecs and the Dolby Atmos immersive audio format to the LogServer compliance monitoring software platform and Monwall multiviewer.

The Dolby AC-4 codec is part of the approval Mediaproxy has received from Dolby, along with its other key compression technologies: AC-3 (also known as Dolby Digital 5.1 surround sound) and E-AC3, branded as Dolby Digital Plus, which supports up to 15.1 audio channels. 

The LogServer suite of software, including its Monwall multiviewer, now provides full monitoring and analysis of all these formats and the multiple channels and audio objects that comprise them.

Erik Otto, Mediaproxy’s Chief Executive, said, “Dolby is not only a highly respected brand in the professional broadcasting and audio worlds, but also a name recognised by consumers as a guarantee of high quality and exciting sound. We are extremely proud to have received approval. 

“As the leading company in our section of professional broadcast engineering, our customers expect us to provide the highest possible standard in our product. Having attained Dolby approval underlines our on-going commitment to engineering excellence.”

Dolby is the leading developer of Next Generation Audio (NGA) technologies for cinema, broadcast, streaming, music and gaming. Its Dolby Atmos immersive system features on major feature films and is also a key element in many movies and high-end drama series streamed on Netflix, Amazon Prime and Disney+. 

Dolby Atmos is an object-based audio (OBA) format that is also a feature of Dolby AC-4, which offers a wide range of features including dialogue intelligibility, audio description and alternative languages and commentaries, all with a high degree of personalisation.
