SABC Goes APT

The South African Broadcast Corp. placed a “substantial” order with Audio Processing Technology for audio data compression codecs. The contract is part of an overhaul of SABC’s contribution network.
The codecs include 25 NXL384As and 21 NXL384Ds. They are being used in a network linking nine regional studios to Johannesburg.
APT Commercial Director Jon McClintock called the order a “telling endorsement” of the apt-X algorithm.
