Jünger Audio at the ATSC Loudness Seminar in DC, Nov 4th, 2009.
Junger Audio’s managing director Peter Poers was among a number of speakers who took part in a seminar on Audio Loudness hosted by the Advanced Television Systems Committee.
The seminar, which was held at the Wiley Rein Conference Center in Washington, DC on November 4th, 2009, included presentations focused on ATSC's work on audio loudness. The program discussed related legislative activities and key topics such as industry outreach, real-world applications in audio, loudness measurement, monitoring, program interchange, interstitial loudness, and metadata. The event was attended by members of the broadcasting, cable, and satellite industries; as well as equipment manufacturers and consulting engineers.
On the same day, the ATSC membership also approved its Recommended Practice: Techniques for Establishing and Maintaining Audio Loudness for Digital Television. This document, the culmination of more than two years of technical work, provides guidance to broadcasters and HD/SD audio creators on how to deal with audio loudness across television programming. It recommends the production, distribution, and transmission practices needed to provide the highest quality audio soundtracks to the digital television audience and focuses on audio measurement, monitoring techniques and methods to effectively control loudness for content delivery or exchange.
The new Recommended Practice (RP) gives US broadcasters a much-needed framework for dealing with audio loudness. At present US networks all have different ways of controlling audio levels in the broadcast chain, but with this document in place they should now be little disagreement about how to keep a spike in audio level from irritating viewers so much that they switch channel.
