NGA Audio Mastering & QC
A technology-agnostic approach to immersive audio workflows
Next-generation audio workflows span multiple technologies, including ADM and S-ADM, Dolby Atmos, MPEG-H Audio.
Marquise Technologies provides a unified environment to preserve and validate audio objects, metadata, and interactivity throughout the production chain.
Supported NGA Technologies & Formats
Next-generation audio workflows rely on a variety of formats and standards, each designed for specific production and delivery environments.
By operating within a unified environment, audio objects, scene definitions, and metadata remain consistent across systems, preserving creative intent while ensuring technical integrity.

Unified Mastering Across NGA Technologies
Combine video and immersive audio assets within a single mastering timeline, independently of the underlying NGA technology.
• Seamless integration of immersive audio content
• Preservation of object-based structures and metadata
• Support for multiple NGA tracks
Full Visibility of Audio Objects and Metadata
Gain precise control over immersive audio structures across supported formats.
- Visualize audio objects, programs, and interactive elements
- Verify metadata integrity and consistency
- Maintain transparency across complex NGA workflows
NGA Monitoring and Analysis
Monitor immersive audio behavior during playback using integrated NGA technologies renderers.
- Validate object positioning and scene behavior
- Analyze loudness, levels, and signal distribution
- Ensure synchronization with video content
Work Across NGA Ecosystems for Interoperable and Flexible Workflows
NGA production environments often require working across multiple technologies and delivery formats.
Marquise Technologies solutions enables:
• Consistent handling of immersive audio across different NGA standards
• Cross-format workflows between supported technologies
• Preservation of audio objects, metadata, and interactivity during conversion
This allows content to be efficiently adapted to different platforms and ecosystems without compromising quality or creative intent.
Advanced Quality Control for Immersive Audio
Ensure compliance and consistency across formats, platforms, and listening environments:
- Validate rendering across stereo, 5.1, 7.1.4, and binaural, according to NGA technology capabilities
- Detect clipping, silence, and loudness violations
- Compare rendered output with the original master
- Generate detailed QC reports (PDF, XML)
Prepare Distribution-Ready Formats
Export immersive audio content to industry-standard delivery formats:
- Choose the Programs to deliver
- Export as stand alone audio file (Conversion) or muxed final file according to respected NGA technologies capabilities
- Ensure compatibility with playout, encoding, and streaming systems while maintaining full metadata integrity.
Designed for Next-Generation Audio Workflows
As immersive audio becomes mainstream, the challenge is no longer only creation.
It is ensuring that complex audio objects and metadata remain fully intact and verifiable throughout the entire delivery chain.
By combining mastering, monitoring, and validation in a single environment, Marquise Technologies enables broadcasters and content creators to deliver high-quality immersive audio experiences with confidence, across technologies, formats, and platforms.
