Octiv Offers Surround Dynamics Processor for Pro Tools

October 28, 2004

The Berkeley-based Octiv today announced Octirama, a Surround Dynamics Processor for Digidesign Pro Tools TDM Systems.

Octirama is a first full-featured, multi-band dynamics processor for 5.1 Surround Mastering in the Digidesign TDM environment. Octirama incorporates four- and five-band processing for each of five channels plus bass management for precise control of peaks and loudness.

Octirama was developed by Octiv Inc. using patented techniques to provide DSP efficiencies allowing a full-featured dynamic processor to run on a single 56000 chip. Features for each of the 5 Surround channels include an input AGC, four- or five-band dynamics processor, five in-band peak limiters, band mixing, and a final peak limiter. Over 40 simultaneous meters provide detailed information on gain reduction, downward expansion, and output levels. Octirama's processing algorithm preserves the surround image, according to the company.

Pricing and Availability: Octirama will distributed worldwide by Cycling '74 and directly online from Cycling '74 in fourth quarter 2004. Price TBA.
