Managing the audio quality: products and techniques for enhance audio quality in broadcasting.
Hardware and software solutions to govern loudness levels and other audio parameters through the transmission chain.
Data-logging systems to measure audio parameters and to take note of them for long periods of time (months / years), with markers through GPI or XML files; automatic analysis methods and generation of warnings; automatic check-up of the “state of health” of a broadcasted channel, useful to point out the areas of emission that need immediate corrections.
Audio measurement systems that comply with ITU / EBU rules (Loudness level, True audio peak, etc.), with innovative functions to simplify the compatibility check of audio materials in different technical areas (ingest, production, central filing). HW and SW systems for automatic “off-line” levelling of audio parameters, with full transparency.
Specialized consultancy to highlight the actions needed to reach compliance to worldwide and local criteria, from ingest rules to quality management and Technical Requirements for the production chain. As for other quality criteria, the quality of emitted signals is a matter of a complex system of rules; no “magic box” could be an effective solution.
Training courses for technical resources in emission rooms and production studios, about metering and practice for audio quality parameters; theoretical courses for non-technical resources about the importance of audio quality in today broadcast programming.
