Workshop W7

Saturday, May 17, 16:00 — 18:00
W7 - LOUDNESS – A CHANGE OF PARADIGMS?

Chair:
Thomas Lund, TC Electronic A/S
Panelists:
Andrew Mason, BBC R&D
Jean-Paul Moerman, VRT – Flemish Broadcasting
Gerhard Spikofski, IRT Munich
Alessandro Travaglini, Fox Italia

Abstract:
Canada and Fox TV in Italy have proven that the switch to loudness measurement instead of peak measurement is a possible route—and one which serves to solve the most frequent complaint by consumers. Are we at the beginning of a new practice in audio levels in Broadcasting? Standards are also in place (ITU-R BS.1770), metering tools incorporating it appear, etc. The panel will discuss the state of things, the transition workflow, the tools available, different possible solutions, and practical experiences, also with different methods of measurement.
