About Iyuno
Iyuno is a global leader in media localization, specializing in dubbing, subtitling, and access services. By partnering with entertainment giants like Amazon and Disney, Iyuno enables global audiences to experience content in their native languages through services like dubbing. Dubbing involves replacing the original language with voice performances that are perfectly synced to the visuals. This isn’t just about words—it’s about capturing the emotion, tone, and intent of the original content. The result? Authentic, culturally relevant, and technically flawless content that resonates across film, television, and streaming industries.
Iyuno’s Stunning New Facility
In May 2024, Iyuno announced the opening of a new 52,000-square-foot global headquarters in Burbank, California, a state-of-the-art facility designed to expand its impressive localization and post-production capabilities. The facility includes advanced features such as 10 recording studios, 4 Dolby Atmos mixing stages, including one large format Theatrical mix stage, multiple QC suites, and cutting-edge video and audio editing stations. This hub solidifies Iyuno’s role in global media localization and underscores its commitment to innovation and exceptional client service. Learn more at Iyuno’s announcement.
“One of the overarching goals for the new facility was to increase our capabilities while also affording us the most flexible solution for delivering audio and video in a secure environment. With Dante audio being delivered via low latency over segregated IP networks, finding a video solution that worked alongside the same infrastructure would provide multiple benefits,” said Nate Green, Technical Manager at Iyuno’s Burbank facility. “With Dante as the audio foundation, adding Dante AV seemed logical, but it had to deliver flexible, reliable, and synchronized performance. After an exhaustive evaluation, we chose Dante AV Ultra™.”
Dante AV Ultra™
“Dante AV Ultra™ encoder/decoder delivers visually lossless 4Kp60 4:4:4 video with imperceptible, deterministic latency over 1GbE networks.” – Audinate. It utilizes the same PTP clocking used to time Dante® audio, which ensures the precise video timing vital for dubbing and ADR workflows, where alignment of visual and audio cues is essential. Its benefits include cost-effective scalability, compatibility with thousands of Dante AV products, simplified installation, flexibility, and exceptional reliability. Importantly, for Iyuno, the choice of Dante AV Ultra ensured native compatibility with the existing Dante audio infrastructure.
The Iyuno Creative Advantage
Another design goal for the new facility was to enhance client-centric services and provide engineers with maximum flexibility to support simultaneous and accurate video distribution solutions. Whether it’s routing a specific video feed to a client’s viewing position or enabling complex workflows like multiple performers across different studios collaborating with the same frame-accurate video source via multicast feeds to decoders, Dante AV Ultra™ provides a seamless solution, giving directors the creative freedom to synchronize and adjust performances effortlessly.
The Bolin Advantage
Iyuno chose Bolin’s D20H Dante AV Ultra™ encoder/decoders to deliver the video to each of its Voice-Over (VO) and Automated Dialogue Replacement (ADR) studios. The source video material and Dante audio are fed from a central machine, are paired and timed with the D20H Transceivers, and can be delivered to one or more studios as needed. Bolin’s build quality, reliability, and responsiveness during the evaluation process were essential considerations. The result is video and audio with accurate, solid synchronization, allowing the director and talent to deliver the performances Iyuno is known for.
Conclusion
With Bolin Dante AV Ultra™ encoder/decoder ensuring seamless transmission of high-quality video and synchronized audio, Iyuno provides directors with unmatched creative control and flexibility. This powerful combination of precision and adaptability reinforces Iyuno’s dedication to delivering industry-leading media localization and post-production services, solidifying its position as a global leader in the field.
