Our products keep your production moving forward
With our products, you can stop spending valuable editing time dealing with tedious tasks like audio channel mapping and loudness compliance. Once your audio has been mixed and your programme has been mastered, you can create the multiple versions needed for all the required deliverables from automated software running in the control room, rather than having to go back into the edit suite.
This desktop tool is used to measure and correct the loudness of individual files.
Ideally suited for low volume applications, Eff can be set up with a watch folder, enabling you to leave it unattended to process up to 20 hours of content per day.
A scalable product that includes all the loudness features of Eff, but with much wider capabilities made available as optional modules.
Engine has comprehensive automation capabilities including multiple watch folders, a ReST API for MAM integration and API facilities that can processes high volumes of content per day. Engine can also be completely virtualised in the cloud.
A desktop application designed for ingest operators and QC. Its extensive audio monitoring capabilities make it an ideal tool for verifying content.
With multiple listening modes, loudness timeline (using an external XML file) and in-built decoder, Eve makes the challenge of confirming the media file is as it should be, easier than ever before.
We’ve been looking around for a while...
For different file-based loudness processing analysis and correction tools and Eff for us really seemed to tick all the boxes that we needed; performance, integration capability and the support for the range of formats that we’re dealing with.
Working with the team at Emotion Systems has been great. They’ve been able to turn around changes for us very quickly. We’ve been dealing with several weird and whacky file formats that aren’t supported through a lot of tools, but the Eff tool has been updated to support those and that’s now part of our automated workflow.
Keir Shepherd
Head of Technology, Content Management
We trialled a number of measurement and encoding pieces of software...
When we realised R128 needed to be adhered to and Eff just seemed like the most straightforward, easiest to use and reliable out of the pieces of software that we trialled.
Tom Lynch
Media Coordinator
Loudness requirements are quite complex to achieve...
Eff enables us to do this simply and quickly.
Measuring loudness levels in Dolby E files is very hard to do. Eff enables us to do this rapidly with confidence. I’ve really found it to be a great product; it’s really helped our workflow and it’s good to have a team that responds to the demands that you face in the field.
Carl Garcia
Head of MCR
Eff has proved to be an incredibly cost-effective product...
We use it daily and we’re able to recover the costs in a very short time.
We’ve worked with Emotion Systems for about the last three years, and we’ve found them an excellent company to work with. They’re quick to respond to any of our queries and work with us on new technologies and our specific requirements.
On the few occasions that we’ve had to use Emotion’s tech support, it’s always been fast and efficient and quick to come up with a solution. But I have to say Eff is a very robust product and so far, tech support hasn’t been used that much!
Dave Carstairs
Technical Consultant
The use of Engine has been an absolute success at Evolutions...
We’ve increased our efficiency twofold at least and all the work that used to be on operators doing manual correction or adjustments or reversioning of files is now all taken care of by our servers.
Working with Emotion Systems has been great, they’re very reactive to us, their support network is fantastic, we always get very fast response if we every have any issues. Their reactiveness to use needing and wanting to develop new technologies and workflows is second to none. We would work with them on every audio instance if we could.
Ricky Martin
Workflow specialist
Eff has become the final health check toolkit for all my media assets...
The ability to readily access broadcast specs from across the world as well as an extremely accurate analyser means that mixes put through it simply never fail 3rd party Quality Control checks. A huge and reliable time saver -I would definitely recommend it.

The Swiss Army Knife of Audio Automation
We’re 100% focused on audio and, with our software development and R&D expertise, we can support any audio standard and provide just about every type of non-creative audio processing you can think of.
Our applications can be used individually or combined into bespoke workflows – all while maintaining the creative integrity of your end product.
Some of the services that leading broadcasters, networks and post-production facilities trust our products to deliver include:
Loudness compliance
Emotion’s trusted solutions ensure that your content’s integrated loudness falls within the required broadcast loudness standards without compromising the audio experience. Our software is compatible with a range of LUFS standards including EBU R128, BS1770 and ATSC A/85.
Audio channel mapping & muting
We make it easy to provide playout centres with their preferred channel layout. Swap, duplicate, mute or move channels individually or remap them as groups in mono, stereo or 5.1 surround sound using our flexible and easy-to-use tools.
Stereo to 5.1 upmix & downmix
We’ve incorporated the leading upmix technology into our toolset so you can upmix stereo content to 5.1 surround sound without reverting to the original master or returning to the edit suite. Our downmix algorithm offers an adaptive EQ and ambience mode to optimise your conversion.
Audio standards conversion with pitch correction
We treat video and audio separately when converting media from one frame rate to another. This approach to audio standards conversion for broadcast helps avoid the artefacts commonly associated with the conversion process.
Dolby E encoder & decoder
To solve the potential issues of working with Dolby E in a file-based environment, we’ve developed specific Dolby E encoder, Dolby E decoder, Dolby E guard band correction and loudness compliance applications.
Normalize audio for playout
Easily convert your input formats into the required standard type needed for playout using our entirely automated process. Increasing the number of channels, loudness correction, Dolby E encoding and duplicating channels can all be included in this workflow.
We’re a team of industry experts that specialise in audio automation.
While we understand the entire content supply chain, our sole focus is on helping you prepare the audio component of your content for distribution. And, because we’re small and highly specialised, we can pivot to solve new problems and deliver results quickly. Our products are flexible, easy to use and easy to integrate into any workflow or processing pipeline, and we’re always on hand to help our customers in any way we can.
