Real-Time
Dialogue Enhancement

Introducing the IDC 1411, the real-time yellobrik using AI to distinguish between speech and background noise.

With a maximum latency of only 4 frames the IDC 1411 is ideal for proAV, Live broadcasts and post!

Originally designed to provide an enhanced speech channel for hearing impaired viewers, this yellobrik can serve multiple purposes such as pre-clearing of speech for AI driven subtitle and translation generators, or within security services to isolate speech in surveillance situations.

It’s not just a noise removal tool, it provides full control over background and dialogue volumes. It boasts two equalizers and a compressor in addition to the basic levels for advanced fine tuning. Audio in is either de-embedded from the 12G-SDI input stream or acquired from the external AES input. The enhanced dialogue track can be embedded back into the SDI output stream or routed to a dedicated AES output.

Multiple Audio Feed Processing in a Single brik

Studio audio can usually be tightly controlled and balanced, but outside broadcast background noise is beyond the control of the production team. In some noisy environments, noise-cancelling or ultra close range microphones can be used, but in news gathering or events with unpredictable crowd or ambient noise, that is not always possible. Unlike point of capture cancelling or filtering systems where multiple devices are needed, the IDC 1411 is integrated into the production workflow so only a single unit per transmission channel may be needed. With full SNMPv2 integration possible with the yellobrik RCT and SRV modules the IDC 1411 can be engaged and disengaged at will during a production, and quickly reconfigured remotely as needed.

Let’s see how this sounds in the real world

Live sports production

Dial back the crowd noise to the desired level.

News Gathering

Reduce traffic, crowd and loud background noises.

Easy To Use – easier to perfect

Strength

Set the overall dialog cleaning strength.

Speech Gain

Amplify or cut the speech level [dB].

Background Gain

Cut or boost background noise [dB].

For extended functionality and fine tuning there are also two separate equalizers, with center frequency, gain and bandwidth controls as well as a stereo linked audio compressor with threshold, ratio plus attach and release settings.

Versatility of yellobriks

As with all yellobrik’s the IDC 1411 is perfect for mobile “throw down” applications and can be used standalone with the included AC power supply or an external battery power source (not supplied).

The IDC 1411 is also at home in a fixed studio installation and can be mountred in our 1RU rack frame which provides primary and redundant power protection plus full remote control and monitoring using our LYNX Centraal application.
