Multiple Audio Programs

Broadcast multiple audio tracks at once to reach more of your community in their language

Multiple Audio Programs (MAP) lets you broadcast multiple audio pairs at the same time, at either the channel or show level, so you can reach more residents in the language they speak at home. Program managers define and select languages wherever they are needed.

Viewers switch tracks using the Second Audio Program (SAP) feature on their television, or toggle between audio in your web, OTT, and mobile video players. You can also use MAP to add audio descriptions for viewers with visual impairments or offer director's commentary.

The image shows a two-monitor setup. On the left monitor, a software interface for "YourTown TV" is open, displaying settings for a Multiple Audio Program. It indicates a "Primary Audio Language" set to English with a corresponding label, and a "Secondary Audio Language" set to Spanish, also with a corresponding label. On the right monitor, there's a video playback showing a professional setting with two people: a woman seated at a desk, looking at a man who is turned towards her. The woman is wearing glasses and a formal blazer, indicating a business or formal event. The video player interface includes a graphic allowing the user to switch between English and Spanish audio, with a circular toggle featuring the two languages.
