Do you have a stereo programme and want to play it in 5.1 or 7.1 !
We have the solution:
ISOSTEM, the up-conversion system favoured by the biggest broadcasters, including France Télévision.
This revolutionary process allows a stereo programme to be converted into immersive multichannel while respecting its original format, so it can be listened to on a 5.1 system as well as in stereo without any loss.
As this process is carried out in real time, it is simple and economical.
HD programmes can be delivered with a 5.1 multichannel audio track, in addition to a stereo version.
To do this, the 6 discrete audio tracks must be encoded in DolbyE.
We have all the equipment necessary to carry out this somewhat delicate operation…

Post-production sound is a key phase in the finalisation of an audiovisual project, encompassing all the processing and adjustments applied to the sound elements after the initial filming or recording. This technical and creative process aims to perfect the soundtrack by working on the quality of the dialogue, the depth of the ambience, the intensity of the sound effects and the musical harmony. Every sound detail contributes to shaping the viewer’s auditory experience, directly influencing the perception of emotions and the narrative. Good management of audio mixing, sound effects, post-synchronisation and sound grading allows for optimal rendering, guaranteeing total immersion and impeccable clarity regardless of the distribution medium.
The post-production audio process begins with the import and sorting of the tracks recorded during filming. The first stage consists of sound cleaning, which aims to remove any extraneous noise picked up by the microphones during recording. Imperfections such as breaths, unwanted resonance and interference are corrected in order to obtain a clean and usable soundtrack. This phase is essential to guarantee perfect intelligibility of the dialogue and avoid any sound distractions. Once this correction has been made, the next step is post-synchronisation, a technique that allows certain lines to be re-recorded in the studio to replace passages where the sound picked up on set is unusable. This method is commonly used in cinema, TV series and advertising, ensuring perfect synchronisation between the actors’ voices and the images.
Sound mixing plays a crucial role in balancing the different soundtracks that make up an audiovisual project. It is a process in which each sound element is adjusted in terms of volume, frequency and spatialisation to guarantee an immersive and harmonious experience. The dialogue, music, sound effects and foley are layered and precisely adjusted to prevent certain sounds from drowning out other elements essential to the understanding of the narrative. The aim is to achieve a natural sound balance that accompanies and reinforces the visual impact. A well-executed mix ensures that the dialogue remains clear even when there is intense music or sound effects, while maintaining a dynamic that guides the viewer’s attention to the key moments of the story.
The integration of music into an audiovisual project is a key stage in sound post-production, playing a decisive role in the transmission of emotions and the orientation of the spectator’s feelings. The soundtrack can be custom-made or chosen from a music library, depending on the artistic needs and the production budget. Well-adapted music reinforces the rhythm of the editing, emphasises moments of dramatic intensity and guides the interpretation of the images. Adjusting the volume and mixing of the music is essential to prevent it from overpowering the dialogue or sound effects. Consistency between the image and the musical composition is a determining factor in the effectiveness of an audiovisual project, making the soundtrack just as important as the visual elements.
Each distribution medium has its own technical specificities, and sound post-production must adapt the audio rendering according to the requirements of the medium concerned. A soundtrack intended for theatre projection will require different processing to that intended for television, streaming or radio broadcasting. Optimising sound dynamics, compression and stereo or multichannel rendering ensures that the content remains faithful to the director’s intentions, regardless of the device used for viewing. The conversion of audio files into the appropriate formats, such as WAV, MP3, FLAC or AAC, is an essential step that guarantees compatibility with the various broadcasting platforms.
Sound post-production is an essential process for achieving flawless audio quality in any audiovisual production. By combining advanced mixing, foley, spatialisation and sound grading techniques, it provides an immersive and emotionally engaging experience. This meticulous work, carried out in the studio by specialised sound engineers, helps to enhance each project, ensuring a faithful and powerful reproduction of the sound content.
