Last Updated: 20070426, mei Saturday, May 5, 16:30 — 18:30W6 - LOUDNESS METERING SYSTEMS AND INTERNATIONAL ACTIVITIES Chair: Lars Jonsson, SR/Swedish Radio Panelists: Kimio Hamasaki, NHK Science & Technical Research Laboratories - Tokyo, Japan Erik Lundbeck, SVT Swedish TV Thomas Lundh, TC Electronics - Denmark Ralph Kessler, Pinguin - Germany Andrew Mason, BBC - UK Tony Spath, Dolby Laboratories - UK Gerhard Spikofski, IRT - Germany Matti Zemack, SR - Swedish Radio - Sweden Abstract: This workshop will cover loudness metering and automatic level adjustments and present an overview of systems and international activities. The session will cover the latest progress in standards made by the ITU and the EBU to recommend solutions for broadcasting. The general problem to solve is common to all new digital distribution systems. Old analog audio metering methods have become obsolete and can no longer create a smooth perceived level for listeners. Manufacturers making proposals along with the new standards are presenting their products. A general discussion among the panel members and the audience will point out the direction for the future. |
