Dolby releases new broadcast products

Input capabilities – including I/P, ASI and HD SDI – allow broadcasters to perform quality control at any point within their head end. This enables monitoring and display of all audio-related metadata as well as measuring program loudness, using Dolby Dialogue Intelligence or ITU-R BS.1770-1 loudness estimation.
 
The new Dolby Media Meter 2 measures loudness as viewers subjectively experience it. New features include user-selectable measurement algorithms and a peak limiter. It is available as an inclusive package or as an update to the original version. Dolby Media Meter 2 features user-selectable Dialogue Intelligence technology that detects and measures loudness only during the presence of speech. Users can also select measurement options that include Leq(m) for cinema trailers and commercials, Leq(A), True Peak, and Dialogue Range, as well as ITU-R BS.1770-1. Other new features include level meters; a user-adjustable peak limiter; a warning setting with user-selectable function and threshold; and a real-time graphing function.
 
Dolby Media Meter 2 runs as a Mac or Windows application, as a Pro Tools AudioSuite or RTAS plug-in, and as a VST plug-in for Nuendo and Fairlight. It can also run as a Mac-only AU for Apple software. Dolby Media Meter 2 supports measurement of Dolby Digital Plus, Dolby Digital, Dolby TrueHD, Dolby E, and PCM audio formats. All versions of Media Meter 2 can produce and save log files.
