Telos Alliance Integrates Dolby Atmos into LA-5300

Telos Alliance to Incorporate Dolby Digital Plus with Atmos into LA-5300 Audio Processor

The Telos Alliance, a renowned leader in broadcast audio solutions for over 30 years, is set to introduce Dolby Digital Plus with Atmos encoding as a new feature in its Linear Acoustic LA-5300 Broadcast Audio Processor.

This addition positions the LA-5300 as a comprehensive solution for television broadcasters, offering advanced loudness control, upmixing, and optional watermark encoding features alongside Next Generation Audio capabilities through Dolby AC-4.

Enhanced Audio Processing and Encoding Options

With the forthcoming software update, the LA-5300 will support Dolby Digital Plus with JOC (Joint Object Coding), commonly known as Atmos, as an optional licensed feature. This update enables broadcasters to deliver object-based immersive audio through various distribution channels, including streaming services and ultra-high definition cable and satellite feeds, even if they do not use the Dolby AC-4 codec.

Universal Solution for Immersive Audio Broadcasting

Larry Schindel, the Linear Acoustic Product Manager, highlighted the significance of this update, stating it broadens the LA-5300’s applicability as a versatile audio processor and encoder. It caters to the needs of both over-the-air broadcasters utilizing Dolby AC-4 for immersive audio and those distributing content through streaming platforms with Dolby Digital Plus with Atmos.
