The Aperi H.264 App offers a unidirectional H.264 encoder/decoder supporting up to 2 channels of SD-SDI, HD-SDI, and 3G-SDI SMPTE compliant video signals. Each channel operates completely independent of the other, with support for video sources running in different formats and at different frame rates. The encoder automatically detects any valid video input on each channel and packetizes each H.264 compressed video signal into an elementary stream multiplexed with MPEG-1 Audio Layer II audio compression and ancillary data elementary streams to create an MPEG-2 compliant transport stream. This transport stream is encapsulated in a SMPTE 2022-2 compliant IP flow and aggregated into 10GbE interfaces on the microserver edge connector. The decoder receives an IP flow for processing, which removes the SMPTE 2022 encapsulation and converts the signal into a transport stream (TS). The stream is separated into video, audio, and ancillary elementary streams which are synchronized via a traffic clock that is closely matched to the encoder. The elementary video data is then decoded, producing an uncompressed video signal. The management interface is accessible via an open RESTful API in addition to an intuitive graphical user interface via integrated web server to configure and monitor the app directly through the API.

Pan control for the 21st century

Stereoplacer is an advanced fine-tune parametric balancing control. You can tune each band into specific frequencies and move the frequency content around in the stereo sound stage. Just choose the position you want, and let Stereoplacer take care of preserving the balance of the original sounds.

Choose the frequencies you want to fix and move them anywhere, leaving the rest of the stereo image intact. Make improvements in any area of the sound stage without causing problems elsewhere. Stereoplacer gives you precise control you just can’t get within a traditional mix setup.

Enhance recordings

Focus in on the frequencies you want to move using the intuitive solo controls and then tweak/fix/align them in the stereo panorama without affecting any other regions - simple, quick and effective!

• Fix poor recordings


• Ideal for restoration


• Reposition complex audio


• Reconstruct mono image


• Dynamic visual feedback


• Harmonic capture

Flexible controls

With fully adjustable curves (bell, high and low shelving and even additional linked-harmonic overtones) you can redistribute stereo information with subtlety, or make powerful corrections – even moving hard-panned frequencies from one side to the other – without affecting the overall level balance of the material.

'Panning' the bass

Sometimes a mix calls for a bass element, say the bass guitar track, to be panned away from the centre. Often this is best avoided as off-centre high energy in the low frequencies can create more problems than it resolves. Using Stereoplacer, however, the low frequencies can be kept in the centre whilst higher frequencies (i.e. the attack component) are moved across the stereo field with a shelving band. This gives the impression that the bass part has been panned, when really only the high, directional frequencies have been affected.

You can also achieve the opposite effect, pulling stray low frequencies back into the centre without affecting the entire sound.

With each node it is possible to add a number of additional harmonically linked bell curves, all referenced from the one ‘root’ control point.

For post production and restoration

Re-position specific elements or achieve gentle linear phase adjustment of your entire mix. Extrapolate and re-balance poorly positioned instruments whilst leaving the rest of the soundfield intact. You can even add stereo detail to previously mono recordings, leaving the original character intact.

Typical applications

• Panning sounds in sample loops


• Fixing poor microphone placement


• Shifting problem frequencies


• Double tracking stereo distribution


• Extrapolating poorly panned sounds

Customizable surround audio analysis

Comprehensive analysis for 3D and immersive audio; Halo Vision is a customizable, real-time visual analysis suite. A variety of modules provide audio professionals with a clearer understanding of every aspect of their audio, allowing for precise and confident decision making and troubleshooting, and pinpointing problem areas which might be missed using ears alone.

Configurable displays

• Correlation Matrix


• Correlation Web


• Frequency Haze


• Location Haze


• Spectrum


• True Peak


• Timecode

Correlation views

The Correlation Matrix displays colour-coded phase relationships between every channel, with a larger arched meter for more detailed analysis, and anti-correlation alerts at a user-defined threshold.

The Correlation Web shows a network of channels with an interconnecting line between each pair. When the phase relationship between two channels becomes anti-correlated, the corresponding line lights up.

Both of these views use Contextual Correlation by default. Standard calculations used by other correlation meters are normalised in such a way that two signals might appear to be highly anti-correlated, even if one signal is so much louder or quieter than the other that mixing them together will not cause phase cancellation. Contextual Correlation compensates for these level differences, only highlighting correlation issues which are likely to cause a problem.

Haze views

With low frequencies at the centre and high frequencies on the outer edge, the circular Frequency Haze displays frequency content across the surround field, with channel labels in typical speaker positions.

The Location Haze provides a visualization of the perceived location of your audio, showing energy distribution across the surround field, with brighter sections indicating increased “energy”.

Other views

In ‘Combined’ mode, the Spectrum view displays an FFT level-against-frequency graph for all the channels in one spectrum. In ‘Groups’ mode, channels can be organised into groups of spectrums.

The True Peak view provides a True Peak dB level meter for each channel.

The Timecode view displays a timecode readout based on the current host/DAW playback position.

Effortlessly speed up your daily workflow

Halo Vision is the result of our most in-depth market research to date, the product of a series of interviews with many of our trusted and respected customers in the industry, with the aim of discovering exactly what they want, need and expect from surround and immersive visual audio analysis.

With unique steering and ducking meters, ISL guides you to the perfect settings. Whether you are preserving directional integrity or atmospheric ambience, ISL gives you the information and control you need to achieve your objective with ease. New processing enhancements assess the incoming audio for frequency content and automatically take care of those minor adjustments required when LF content drives the limiter, delivering increased transparency whilst maintaining our renowned reputation of intuitive operation.

For post and broadcast

World class, broadcast quality limiting is an essential requirement for any broadcast production, and the latest standards also demand True Peak compliance. ISL delivers both, giving you superb sound with complete confidence when meeting True Peak delivery criteria.

With ITU-R B.S. 1170-4 compliance and a dedicated brick-wall TPlim setting, you can produce with confidence, leaving ISL to transparently take care of the compliance.

A solid foundation

When solid or natural sounding bass is a requirement in your recording projects, Monofilter provides the foundation for real power and definition. Bring transparent solidity to your bass; sharpen, define and align for the tightest mix.

Monofilter defines the centre of your bass, so easily lost through stereo effects processing, synth sound generation, unwanted phase inconsistencies and live recording microphone bleed. Market-leading features give accurate control over stereo spread, transition and phase alignment, with precise visual feedback in a tactile interface that lets you grab the applied stereo envelope and manipulate it directly – without using abstract parameters and knobs.

Trusted by producers

With presets for every situation and intuitive controls for fine tuning to perfection, Monofilter anchors your bass with ease, while retaining the perceived spatial characteristics of the original sound.

• Independent mono & stereo trim


• Stereo spectrum analysis


• Zero Latency option


• Linear Phase option


• HQ mode


• Phase correlation control

Detailed control

Monofilter offers powerful fine-tuning of your low end sounds and their interaction with higher frequencies. The plug-in's highly tweakable parameters include a high pass filter, plus independent width control of user-defined high and low frequencies.

These width controls range from completely mono at their minimum point, to completely unchanged at their maximum. The changes are clearly displayed in an easily intuitive stereo width envelope.

Automatic phase alignment

Stereo effects which use phase shifting can cause cancellations and superpositions of certain frequencies when played back in mono. Monofilter includes a Phase control which can correct phase imbalance below its threshold frequency by adjusting the phase of the L and R components being summed.

This function has an auto mode which can be especially useful for input signals with a dynamic phase shift.

Typical applications

• Bringing definition to weak bass


• Re-centering low frequencies


• Correcting phase issues


• Restoring old masters


• Mastering for vinyl


• Optimising for louder playback


• Ensuring mono-compatibility

Reverb taken to new heights

Paragon is a true convolution reverb with the flexibility and control of a classic algorithmic reverb, giving you the sound of real spaces, now with unprecedented tweakability. Via re-synthesis, Paragon offers full control of the decay, room size and brightness of reverbs modelled on 3D recordings of real spaces - with no time-stretching, which means no artefacts - not to mention spectral analysis and precise EQ of the Impulse Responses themselves.

Gone are the days of enormous IR libraries. Why have 30 recordings of different-sized churches, when you can meticulously adjust the characteristics of one church?

Perfect for surround applications including Dolby Atmos bed tracks, the reverb operates in up to 7.1.2 channels of audio.

Purity of sound

• True convolution reverb


• Dolby Atmos and surround-compatible


• Individually configurable crosstalk per channel


• Unique technology for re-synthesis of authentic IRs


• HPF and LPF per channel


• Spectral analysis


• Switchable LFE


• Compact mode

Seamless tweakability

The IR library isn’t too big, and it isn’t too small, it’s just right. Gone are the days of keeping an Impulse Response saved for every possible configuration of every possible space - with Paragon, all you need is a select few, which can be tweaked to create almost limitless combinations of spaces.

Using state of the art technology developed alongside the University of York’s Dr. Jez Wells, 3D Impulse Responses are analyzed, decomposed and re-synthesized to create new authentic spaces.

Paragon’s IR panel also allows you to seamlessly tweak the frequency response of real spaces, by EQing the reverb model itself and altering the frequency-dependent decay rate.

Real spaces reimagined

Paragon’s reverb decay and room size can be set significantly longer, larger, shorter and smaller than that of the original IR space, without introducing ugly artefacts as a result of stretching or removing samples. Unlike a traditional convolution reverb, Paragon does not use a static Impulse Response, and this wider scope allows you to transparently transform the sound of the space.

For film & television

As the first 3D-compatible convolution reverb, Paragon is an ideal addition to your Dolby Atmos workflow - create a sense of space like never before.

Paragon’s adjustable crosstalk creates a sense of liveliness and interaction between channels, and allows you to produce surround reverb even from mono or stereo sources. Paragon offers the control and flexibility to determine how reverb from each channel interacts with the other channels, for example improving dialog intelligibility by removing reverb from the centre channel, but maintaining a sense of space and location by sending the dry centre channel audio to other reverb channels.

Typical applications

• Creating immersive reverb


• Atmos-compatible convolution reverb


• Manipulating IRs whilst maintaining true convolution characteristics


• Authentic sounds of real spaces

Powerful sonic sculpting

SEQ-S delivers sculpting power beyond any other EQ. The resizable direct-draw interface makes it easy to quickly fine-tune your audio, with incredible resolution that you can’t get with a traditional parametric interface. The 3 independent EQ curves can be individually assigned to channels across the surround panorama, giving complete control over your spatial environment, with access to stereo, mid/side, 5.1 and 7.1 surround sound operation.

Unparalleled flexibility

• Linear phase spline EQ


• Curve scaling and smoothing


• Zoomable and resizable interface


• No phase smearing


• Dynamic EQ morphs


• Frequency node locking


• Psychoacoustic banding


• Match EQ presets

Fluid EQ morphing

SEQ-S is capable of fluid filter morphs, introducing a wealth of new options ranging from controlled scene transitions up to groundbreaking creative sound design.

Seamless transitions between different environments, creative morphs and tempo-locked effects are easily achieved, with full dynamic visual feedback.

Intuitive EQ matching

Use SEQ-S to capture the flavour of a piece of source audio and match it to your current work – great for restoration work, and as a reference for mastering. Or use this match technique on individual tracks to unify different takes, microphone positions, and more.

Plus, by inverting the match EQ curve, you can achieve a minimally invasive technique for carving out space in a complex mix where traditional EQs won’t cut it.

For post and broadcast

Precise corrections which would be very time consuming with a traditional parametric interface are a breeze with SEQ-S’s flexible nodes and direct draw interface.

Match 'invert' makes it quick and easy to find space for dialogue in a busy soundtrack, avoiding heavy-handed EQ or intrusive ducking.

Flexible to suit your needs

Custom signal architecture

Instantly enhance the functionality of your plug-ins and DAW with thirteen different signal modification units. Explore new creative possibilities and quickly add missing features. Each module can easily be inserted, swapped and moved around making new options to correct, convert or tweak your audio.

Combine these thirteen single-process modules in any order to design the precise routing you require. Auto-resizing keeps the signal flow and functionality clear at all times.

Use stereo plug-ins in mid/side mode

Use the Mid/Side module to add mid/side functionality to classic stereo compressor and EQ emulations, or get creative with mid/side delays, distortion and many other effects by inserting the mid/side encoder/decoder either side of any left/right plug-in instance. On top of this, the Split module allows you to set up an entirely different signal chain for each channel for even more flexibility.

Powerful stereo widening

Stereoizer is a stereo width plug-in with a clear difference - your mix will still sound great in mono. Add natural sounding width and depth to any recording, mono or stereo, leaving the character of the source intact. Or go super wide - the choice is yours.

Achieve a more coherent sound with polish and spatial balance, without adding artificial reverb, chorusing or delay. Total mono compatibility and no unwanted artefacts.

Add clarity & focus

Expand your stereo image. Mono to stereo, stereo to super-wide and everywhere in between. Natural extension or extreme effects, Stereoizer provides it all, with plenty of presets & detailed control for the expert.

• Natural panoramic extension


• No unwanted artefacts


• Retains original character


• Highly mono compatible


• Band limited precision


• Dynamic visual feedback

Detailed stereo extension

Each of Stereoizer's algorithms adapts the characteristics of your audio using techniques based on the way the human ear perceives width. The IID (Interaural Intensity Difference), ITD (Interaural Time Difference) and Linear Width algorithms work independently of each other, giving you maximum flexibility. For more lively adjustments, use the IID and ITD controls; the Linear Width control is more subtle and, crucially, leaves the 'centre space' of your mix untouched.

Highly mono compatible

Mono compatibility is easily overlooked, but is as important now as it has ever been. Many club and PA sound systems are still set up for mono playback, and the majority of portable radios, smartphones and many TV sets are mono.

Stereoizer does not add any artificial reverberation, which means no disruptive artefacts such as doubling/chorusing effects or phase cancellation affecting your mono signal. The 'Collapse output to mono' option allows you to check mono compatibility on the fly for your own peace of mind.

For post production and restoration

Stereoizer is a gift for subtle enhancement of ambience sounds, clearing space for dialog in the centre, or even injecting stereo liveliness into formerly mono recordings.

Whether restoring old recordings or optimising new recordings for louder playback, Stereoizer allows for natural-sounding extrapolation of your existing stereo image. This can be used to re-introduce natural ambience which may have been lost during other stages of the production process.

Stereo frequency analysis

Stereoizer's visual analysis displays how your stereo field deviates from the centre. This is measured against frequency from 20Hz to 22kHz, allowing for frequency-conscious adjustments without the need to refer to a separate analysis plug-in.

Typical applications

• Expanding a narrow stereo image


• Introducing width to mono recordings


• Adding movement


• Taming eccentric material


• Creating 'centre space'


• Avoiding unnecessary EQ

Ad Insertion Platform's DAIConnct SSAI platform functions as an enhanced solution to manage server-side-ad-insertions for live and on-demand content. Our technology enables dynamic and personalized insertion of video advertising via HLS and Mpeg-DASH protocols, guaranteeing a best-in-class end-user experience without buffering or latency issues.

DAIConnect Suite is composed of 4 independent components working together to fulfil exact customer needs.

• Ad Break Composer


• DAI Manifest Manipulator


• DAI Optimizer


• DAI Insight

The Ad Break Composer:

The Ad Break Composer is the core component of the solution.

It is in charge among other features to:

• Create, edit and apply rules for each ad break and each user based on multiple parameters.


• Mix ads coming from one or more ad server/SSP combined with optional ad bumpers, interstitials or promos


• Add external and contextual data to target your audience


• Validate creatives and adapt creatives video formats, apply or change tags/categories


• Benefit from the various ad inventory split features (volume, device, SCTE35 event ID ...)


• Adapt the insertion workflow as needed day per day or minutes per minutes without interruption or downtime


• Manage dynamically ad parameters from player query parameters or with default values, per channel, time period, VOD catalogs


• Configurable Ad server prefetching

The DAI Manifest Manipulator:

This component is the processor in charge of the manifest manipulation for SSAI. It is executing the following tasks: 

• Manipulate the HLS or MPEG-DASH manifest for each user to enable one-to-one targeting ad insertion; the Ad Pod created by the Ad Break Composer is inserted for each user session


• Manage multiple HLS tags for ad insertion (#EXT-X-CUE-OUT/IN, #EXT-OATCLS-SCTE35, #EXT-X-DATERANGE-)


• Support HLS versions v3 and higher


• Push on storage ad trackers information for server-side ad tracking


• Insert additional information in the manifest (for client-side tracking for example)


• Provide a monitoring interface to detect any issue coming from the sources, the system itself or third components like ad servers

The DAI Insights

Data is critical for customers and our DAIConnect is the bridge between these two words. This position is ideal to be able to store, analyze and process data coming from the Adtech components or the video delivery part.

DAI Insight provide so features like:

• Validate / Analyze your ad insertion number regarding ad servers


• Get insights on your ad performance and fill rate


• Analyze data regarding audiences even if the CDN delivery is not done by yourself


• Easy dashboard to get insights on audience, device split, ad insertions, etc.


• Transparent data view, available to different parties (Device Manufacturers, Broadcasters / Publisher, Content owner…)


• Allow data storage activation to be able to generate graphs and reports

DAI Optimizer

The main function for this component is to provide services allowing:

• Optimizing the value of the ad inventory by enabling unified header bidding auctions with AIP ad Network.


• Connections to multiple demand sources to retrieve the highest revenue for each opportunity.


• Work with multiple ad partners to sell your unsold inventory at the best price.


• Increase programmatic revenues and fill rate.

Why we are different

For broadcasters and video content providers, an inherent tension exists between the need to deliver a premium viewing experience – complete with start-over and time-shifted TV functionality – and to monetize streaming video offerings and services. The challenge of monetizing over-the-top (OTT) video content will only continue to grow as viewership on connected devices increases.

Ad Insertion Platform goes beyond SSAI and offers an end-to-end solution to meet market demands:

• User Interface, many SSAI solutions are API managed. At AIP, we decided to provide a full-feature platform. It can of course be managed by API, but it has a user-friendly interface allowing not only technical DevOps to work on the platform but also staff coming from the Adtech universe.


• Workflow and orchestration management through the “Ad Break Composer” application. All SSAI have quite basic features, managing ad bumpers, one call to an ad server and a final filler. Our solution provides a workflow editor to create events on a calendar. Each event contains the workflow that the SSAI will do when detecting an ad break. Many features are included as for example Volume Split, that allows to do a specific action or call for x% of the simultaneous viewer and another process for the rest. Or device split, to define what to insert for mobile users for example and what to insert for CTV users that will be different.


• Monitoring: DAIConnect includes a monitoring view allowing to detect any issue on production regarding the input streams, the platform itself or the third parties’ elements like ad servers.


• Statistics and data: Our DAI Insight component allows our customer to retrieve data and statistics about their service. All data can come from the video delivery part (like audiences) or from the Ad tech third parties, like the number of ads inserted, fill-rates, number of missed opportunities, etc.


• One solution for FAST and AVOD. The platform is managing from a simple interface live and VOD offers allowing the customer to have a central solution for both services


• Complex encoding workflow. The solution is natively multi-CDN, DAIConnect proposes a user interface to define the encoding workflow and ad delivery processes.


• Ad reviewing, as the system can call multiple ad servers and can also add ads coming from programmatic, if the customer wants to guarantee that the ads are compliant with their rules, the platform can block non-reviewed ads and is providing an interface to make a visual validation by the user.


• Multi-cloud deployment. The solution runs on multiple public cloud infrastructures like AWS and Google Cloud Platform but can also be deployed on-premises for operators willing to do SSAI on their own infrastructure and CDN.


• Simplicity: we take care of the complexity of ad insertion and bridge the gap between the video delivery infrastructure and the AdTech components, so you can focus on your content.


• Fully agnostic: as we serve as an abstraction layer, we can work with major ad servers, SSPs and DSPs assuring retrieval of all the market demand for your inventory.


• Independency: with our DAIConnect platform your ad pod management is not linked to your ad server, giving you flexibility for the ad break composition rules and logic.


• Transparency: instead of using the “blackbox” SSAI component from your ad server, you can have full control and transparency.


• Cost optimization: changing parameters if your inventory sales are not performing is easy and does not require additional technical integration costs


• Monitoring: we offer full insights and access to aggregated data regarding audiences and ad insertion statistics to analyze your KPI.
