At NAB, Eyeheight is featuring two major additions to its range of broadcast production and post-production tools designed to address broadcast loudness issues.
KARMAudioAU is a new plug-in for the Apple Mac OS X platform that performs offline scaling of an entire program file to match audio loudness to a target LKFS level. KARMAudioAU performs an 8x oversampling true-peak analysis and corrects for true-peak overshoots.
Uniform scaling is applied to match the content with a predefined LUFS loudness target without affecting overall audio dynamic range or image position. KARMAudioAU then performs an 8x oversampling true-peak analysis and corrects for true-peak overshoots.
KARMAudioAU now also supports the EBU R-128 standard and includes a loudness bypass mode, which makes it a pure PPM limiter for delivery to end users who don’t yet have loudness-based audio specifications.
In the hardware domain, Eyeheight’s new KA-2 loudness processor offers KARMAudioRT for real-time, unattended adaptive loudness and true-peak correction of stereo, 5.1 surround, dual stereo or dual 5.1 surround audio to provide the perfect “loudness safety net”.
Eyeheight’s new LE-2-K legalizer also utilizes KARMAudioRT to combine flexible video gamut correction with loudness and true-peak processing for ultimate transmission compliance.
Both products address the need for tighter control of audio levels during television transmissions, particularly the relative levels of programmes and interstitials.
