Loudness Meters In Focus Ahead Of Change

With the inclusion of loudness in the DPP's delivery specifications that come into force in October, UK distributor Aspen Media found business to be brisk at its dedicated loudness management and metering stand at BVE recently. Jünger Audio showed a range of loudness management tools for artefact free R128 compliant content, RTW its loudness audio meters and both companies demonstrated their respective loudness loggers.
Aspen Media's prize draw at the show, an RTW TM3 6 channel loudness meter, was won by Adrian Huckfield, a Technical Specialist in the Format Transfer Area at Red Bee Media where file to tape, tape to tape, tape to file, DVD duplication and foreign film subtitling is carried out for major broadcasters. Adrian's role is to devise workflows, write user guides and train operators, as well as being operational.
Adrian told us: "We handle a lot of commercials that are all checked for loudness. However, we do get the occasional complaint about loudness issues; the commercial is compliant, the programme is compliant but the transition from a programme that ends quietly makes the commercial appear to be too loud. It is therefore essential that we have accurate meters and loudness measurement so winning the Aspen Media prize draw was opportune."
