Consistency in loudness is the single most important audio issue in broadcast. That is why DB8 MKII unit is the most widely used digital transmission processor today.

Quite simply, they have set a new standard for real-time loudness control and format conversion.

Measure
LM6 is the only loudness meter that will give you a 'complete loudness overview at a glance'.

In a single view, you can monitor Momentary Loudness, Loudness History, True-peak Level and two universal descriptors that reflect parameters of your choice - for example Program Loudness and Loudness Range (LRA).

Correct
If you measure the loudness of a 5.1 program, the results can differ significantly from a stereo or a mono downmix of the same program.

ALC6 introduces a new way of dealing with this issue: A 5.1 program may be adjusted based on what it measures in 5.1, or on what it measures using a specific set of downmix coefficients.

Convert
DB4 and DB8 will help you convert between formats and platforms. Up-convert your stream from mono or stereo to e.g. 5.1, then corrcect loudness and downmix for different delivery platfiorms such as TV, iPod, YouTube, etc.

If you deliver for different platforms, UpCon HD and Downconvert 5.1 will help you making this process a breeze.

Dual Redundancy
We have made sure that DB4 and DB8 will never let you down. With thousands of units operating constantly all over the world, there is plenty of proof that they rarely fail. The level of operational safety is simply unrivaled and the result is the ultimate level of redundancy.
Dual Power - For Independent Power Sources
Dual Fuses - Double up on fuses
Dual Fans - Two Swiss-made Pabst Fans

I/O Options
DB4 and DB8 both handle up to 16 audio input and 16 audio output channels. There are two slots available, and you can choose any combination of SDI, AES/EBU unbalanced or AES/EBU balanced.

SDI
The SDI card for DB4 and DB8 supports all commonly used SD and HD formats. While de-embedding and embedding 8 channels of audio (48 kHz, 24 bit), selectable from the four SDI Groups in chunks of four audio channels, it passes the video side untouched.

Processing may be inserted on any two of the four SDI Groups, and re-embedding may take place on any two groups. Consequently, the machine enables cross patching of audio and format conversion between SDI Groups. The design features two separate SDI inputs, of which one is active at a time, and two parallel, separately buffered outputs.

The DB's present an attractive SDI solution with massive jitter rejection, 48 bit processing and low latency. They also feature bit transparent, synchronous data handling, enabling routing of data reduced audio, such as AAC, DTS or Dolby E. Two SDI cards can be mounted, processing up to 16 audio channels.

The DSP6000 SDI card (bypass version) features automatic bypass at power-down or at loss of power. Even at boot-up audio and video will be passed lossless to transmission.

Genuinely bummed that these great balls can’t stand up against my Chloè.
Size: Medium
I love all the Chuckit brand of balls. I found that the Strabo and glow balls in the Chuckit line are the softest, and as such, don't last as long as the rest of Chuckit line of balls. Having said that, they do last longer than than every other brand I've tried (and I do believe I’ve tried every brand available on the market today.) The strato balls do bounce higher than any of the other balls in the Chuckit line. They really are a good value.

Great dog balls at a great price
Size: Medium
The balls are a favorite for my dog. I could have done without the hole through the middle because I don't do treats in balls anyway. My dog loves balls for their own merit. I needed replacement balls for my Nerf Dog Ball launcher. It seems the originals have disappeared from the market. I took a chance because the price is right and this Chuck-it ball works very well so we're liking this ball a lot. So far my Dachsund, who can destroy a tennis ball (the kind they are selling as Nerf Dog replacements) in 3 minutes has not done any damage to this one so that's a win. I recommend this as a much better ball than the fuzzy tennis balls. I like the colors too since many dog toys are green (which gets lost in the lawn, etc.) or red (even though dogs have red/green color blindness. Blue and orange are good and pretty easy to find. I liked these well enough that this set was my second purchase so I will have spares in case the others are lost.

My Baby loves his new baby!
Size: Medium, Size: Medium
Finally! A ball my 107 lb. pitty/pointer mix can’t destroy. He has torn up every single “indestructible” toy in a day or so until now. He peels fabric and fur off non-rubber toys. He is a 4-legged shredder. I’ve added pictures of him for a size reference of my dog versus this product. I know I had wanted that when shopping for this item. This ball is now his beloved “baby.” He goes absolutely insane looking for it, chewing it, chasing it, and even sleeping with it. He won’t rest unless he knows exactly where it is. It is his only toy, and he is good with that. After getting this home, I tried giving him other choices, but he won’t touch them. I was worried that he would rip it apart by putting his teeth in the holes, but so far, not a scratch. It is soft enough to collapse just enough to keep it from cracking when his jaws crush it but not so soft that he can rip it to sheds. The holes are large enough to prevent a suction or vacuum effect on his tongue or mouth. For his size jaws, it is a perfect fit. Other dogs might have problems with suction or be able to get their teeth in those holes and rip it apart. Who knows? The older version of the Chuckit squeaky ball was his favorite for the year and a half he had it, but the way they make them now, he peels off the orange triangle in hours flat, the squeaker falls out (choking hazard), and then he rips it apart. I’m going to stock up on these. I can’t imagine how crazy he will be if they ever stop production or change the materials.
