Cube-Tec Debuts DOBBIN, Announces Support for Coding Technologies' MPEG-4 aacPlus v2 Content Creation, at AES 118, in Barcelona.BARCELONA, Spain -- Brand New Dobbin Audio Rendering Solution Will Offer Quality-Controlled Batch Processing for Large Audio Archives and Content Aggregation Cube-Tec International, well-known for its professional digital audio workstations, and Coding Technologies, the leading provider of audio compression technology for digital broadcasting, mobile music and the Internet, announced the integration of Coding Technologies' aacPlus v2 audio coding engine into Dobbin, Cube-Tec's brand new professional audio rendering solution, at the spring convention of the Audio Engineering Society (AES) in Barcelona. The Dobbin solution will offer automated, quality-controlled encoding and processing of complete audio archives within a scalable, multi-PC based framework. aacPlus v2 has proven its outstanding coding efficiency in multiple independent tests conducted by 3GPP GPP Government Performance Project GPP General Purpose Processor GPP General Physical Preparedness GPP Gambian People's Party GPP Good Pharmacy Practice GPP Gross Primary Productivity GPP Green Procurement Program GPP Generic Packetized Protocol (3rd Generation Partnership Project) or the EBU EBU European Broadcasting Union EBU English Bridge Union EBU Enterprise Backup Utility (Oracle 7) EBU European Boxing Union EBU European Board of Urology EBU Electronic Business Unit EBU Equivalent Billing Unit EBU Engine Build Unit (European Broadcasting Union “EBU” redirects here.

The European Broadcasting Union (EBU; French: L'Union Européenne de Radio-Télévision ("UER") ), delivering CD-quality stereo at 48 kbit/s, and excellent quality stereo down to 24 kbit/s. This level of efficiency facilitates new applications such as the delivery of music to mobile devices, and radically reduces transmission costs compared to legacy codecs, without compromising the audio quality. Consequently, aacPlus v2 has been selected by many important standardization bodies such as 3GPP or DVB (Digital Video Broadcasting) An international digital television (DTV) standard that is the European and Far Eastern counterpart of the North American ATSC standard. (Digital Video Broadcasting) as the codec for high quality content delivery. Through the adoption of aacPlus v2, Dobbin will be the world's first professional content creation and aggregation solution for these emerging markets, such as mobile music download, or Internet music distribution. "The integration of aacPlus into the Dobbin solution opens up a new market, which is eagerly awaiting a solution of this type," said Joerg Houpert, Technical Director of Cube-Tec International. "aacPlus is clearly taking off right now, and we are thrilled to offer this amazing codec to our professional customers." "Cube-Tec's Dobbin rendering solution is the first professional studio device to deploy aacPlus v2," explained Toni Fiedler, Manager Business Development, Coding Technologies. "The inclusion of aacPlus into Dobbin paves the way for studios and archives to reliably manage their assets for mobile downloads, DVD DVD: see digital versatile disc. DVD in full digital video disc or digital versatile disc Type of optical disc. The DVD represents the second generation of compact-disc (CD) technology. production or any other application using our technology." The Dobbin audio rendering solution will be showcased at the Cube-Tec booth #1322. Coding Technologies Coding Technologies provides the best audio compression for mobile, broadcasting, and Internet.
