NAB 2026 was a busy one, with audio production for TV and video streaming and automated workflows recurring themes for everyone. For me personally, a conversation topic that came up time and time again was how Jünger Audio flexAI has become a multi-faceted production tool. 

Originally a smart, server-based software package for processing TV audio, it’s now a fully comprehensive audio platform that changes the way producers approach audio handling for video streaming, sporting events, and modern broadcasting (with its multi-platform delivery options).

Dante + NDI: Everything Works Together Better

One of the best things Jünger developers have rolled out recently is Dante Connect and NDI integration into flexAI. These are the standards most people use to send audio over networks, and having them built in means that different pieces of gear from a wide variety of vendors can finally talk to each other without any fuss.

If your work includes producing coverage of live events, or even just routing audio around your facilities, you know how fast things move. Having NDI and Dante available, alongside other formats like ST 2110 and AES67, is a huge help. It means you can plug into almost any modern network, spend less time running cables, and get your audio moving quickly, even for complicated shows.

flexAI in the Cloud = Scalability

Processing audio in the cloud isn't just an experiment anymore: it's actually happening. Jünger Audio has made flexAI cloud-ready; flexAIcloud can run on on-prem servers or AWS and does exactly the same things as its physical counterpart. This is significant because it lets you add more audio processing power as needed, deploy standalone cloud-based systems for remote production, and maintain a consistent feature and workflow set across hardware and virtual environments. It’s indisputable that both consistency and flexibility in production workflows are good things!

Powering Next-Gen Audio & S-ADM Workflows

As the industry moves toward Next Generation Audio (NGA), the flexAI platform provides the necessary tools for immersive and object-based workflows. Recent updates have introduced support for the Serial ADM (S-ADM) professional metadata format, which is critical for the seamless exchange of metadata in immersive audio environments. With recent updates, flexAI now handles:

• • Enhanced Object-Based Workflows including 7.1.4-channel program processors and immersive upmixers.

• • Advanced Encoding/Decoding with comprehensive support for Dolby® ED2, MPEG-H Audio authoring, and Dolby E decoding with S-ADM metadata output.

• • Immersive Monitoring with a 7.1.4-channel monitor controller to ensure that producers can accurately monitor height and surround channels.

• • World-Class Audio Processing supports Level Magic loudness control, full spectral EQ, channel conditioning, voice-overs, and a whole lot more.

These capabilities ensure that flexAI supplies broadcasters and streaming services with the tools they need to deliver engaging, high-impact, object-based audio to their audiences.

Intelligence in the Mix: JAIC and AI-Powered Automation

Along with connectivity and scaling, Jünger Audio is introducing intelligence to the signal chain. An AI-powered automixer, featuring JAIC (Jünger Audio Intelligent Companion), provides real-time analysis and adjustment of mix parameters.

By offering host-priority control and enhanced speech intelligibility, this tool is just what’s needed for complex environments like sports commentary and news production, where consistent levels are vital and low latency is paramount.

Jünger flexAI: The Core of Your Audio Workflow

From the very beginning, Jünger Audio flexAI was built to grow with you. As streaming and broadcast workflows grow more complex and evolve, flexAI’s comprehensive audio-handling toolkit has become a must-have for anyone working in media today. Whether you're in a traditional studio or setting up a virtual show from home, flexAI is there to make your audio work better, and by adding intelligent audio handling, cloud-deployment options, and support for Dante and NDI, it’s quite possibly the most comprehensive (and essential) audio-handling tool available today.
