NGA Metadata Format S-ADM and Jünger Audio flexAI
Serialized ADM (S-ADM) metadata describes the referenced audio to enable object-based Next Generation Audio (NGA) productions. This white paper introduces our concept to enable S-ADM production workflows in the Jünger Audio flexible audio infrastructure flexAI for Dolby® Atmos distribution. Various audio processors can be added and routed internally to set up different broadcast chains. These processors can run on the AIXpressor and a range of flexAIserver audio processing servers. This allows for meeting various processing power and interfacing capability requirements. Examples of applications:
