AMB is designed to improve workflow efficien- cy for a range of different tasks. By using AMB Loudness, DynApt or Upmix modules with the new AMB Dolby E Module, post facilities can na- tively batch process Dolby E files, reducing deliv- ery times considerably for loudness measurement and correction, dynamics processing and upmix- ing. The ability to decode the Dolby E format to linear PCM wave files further supports workflow versatility. The AMB Dolby E Module also provides full support for Dolby Metadata and Dolby E Program configurations. AMB offers scalability, allowing post facilities of all sizes to add the precise processing modules they need and tailor the system to their exact requirements. AMB comes standard with two watch folders/processing queues and the AMB Queue Expansion, which provides additional watch folders/processing queues, as an option. AMB is now available for Windows and OSX. Each functional module is priced at $999; the AMB Queue Expansion is $499 each.
