Minnetonka Audio Announces Loudness Control for Harmonic Company debuts loudness measurement & adjustment plug-in for Harmonic's ProMedia Carbon MINNETONKA, MN - Minnetonka Audio Software, Inc., a leader in production software for motion picture, broadcast surround sound and consumer electronics applications, announced today that the company has released a new loudness measurement and control plug-in for Harmonic's Carbon Server platform.
The new AudioTools Loudness Control for Harmonic's ProMedia Carbon plug-in adds flexible and convenient loudness control to Harmonic's file-based ProMedia Carbon transcoding software. The plug-in provides loudness measurement and optional loudness adjustment in a single package, and is comprised of two separately licensed components, a base loudness measurement module and optional loudness adjustment extension. A valuable feature of AudioTools Loudness Control for Harmonic's ProMedia Carbon is support for multiple instances; one license covers multiple instantiations simultaneously within several different workflows.
The key component of the new product is the AudioTools Loudness Measurement module. It supports the fundamental new ITU and EBU loudness standards, ITU-R BS.1770-2 and EBU R 128 (2011), and is in accordance with the CALM Act (Commercial Advertisement Loudness Mitigation) as well as the ATSC's most recent Recommended Practice A/85:2011. The module measures Momentary, Short Term and Program Loudness, along with Loudness Range, Maximum True Peak level and Program Loudness (ITU). The measurement results are formatted as XML and are available to ProMedia Carbon for logging and reporting. Mono, stereo and multichannel PCM configurations can be measured. In addition to the overall loudness measurement results, minimum and maximum overall values are reported, as well as measured loudness parameters throughout the file at one second intervals.
AudioTools Loudness Adjustment is an option for the AudioTools Loudness Control for Harmonic ProMedia Carbon plug-in that applies loudness adjustment to the incoming essence to reach the desired target Program Loudness or target Loudness Range values. Loudness adjustment can be performed in accordance with EBU R 128. Mono, stereo and multichannel PCM configurations can be processed, while target values can be set for Program Loudness, ITU Program Loudness and Loudness Range. If the loudness level is different from the Target Loudness Value, adjustment is applied, and Maximum True Peak Level and Maximum Momentary Loudness Levels are limited to previously specified target levels. If the loudness value already meets the requested target specification, AudioTools Loudness Adjustment for Harmonic's ProMedia Carbon does not alter the file or essence.
After our collaboration on a recent project, we immediately recognized the versatility of their platform, said John Schur, President of Minnetonka Audio. We're excited to be able to demonstrate these plug-ins at IBC, so broadcasters and content creators can learn how to easily prepare their material for a wide range of diverse target formats. Markus Hintz, Director of Global Sales and Business Development for Minnetonka Audio, added that, Recent legislation has created a sense of urgency that has content producers and broadcasters worldwide focused on loudness control. Harmonic users now have a complete solution with our flexible AudioTools plug-ins to measure and maintain loudness on their already familiar Harmonic ProMedia Carbon platform.
AudioTools Loudness Measurement for Harmonic's ProMedia Carbon and AudioTools Loudness Adjustment for Harmonic's ProMedia Carbon are available now from Minnetonka Audio and Harmonic resellers worldwide.
