Kirkland, WA - Sep 15, 2006 - Neural Audio is now shipping Neustar SW4.0, the digital audio pre-conditioning software package. Neustar codec pre-conditioning/audio processing was built from the ground up specifically for low-bit-rate audio transmissions. It features Neural's Coding Load Analysis System (N-CLAS), which allows real-time visual monitoring of audio vs. codec performance. Neustar SW4.0 also offers a complete suite of audio management tools to address volume and spectral consistency.

Neustar SW4.0, the software version of Neustar 4.0, can be run directly on the HD Radio Importer, offering multiple audio channels of processing within one computer. The software and hardware versions of Neustar are designed to be placed in-line ahead of Internet streams, DAB, DRM, satellite, compressed STLS, ISDN and other signal paths for codec improvements and audio processing.
