KIRKLAND, Washington, August 19 /PRNewswire/ --
- In Challenging Broadcast Environments, New Product Allows Engineers to 'See' Digital Audio Loudness & Surround Information
Neural Audio Corporation announced today Neural Audio Analytics, an advanced loudness monitoring software solution designed to visually display perceived loudness in real-time for today's difficult broadcast environments. The new product will be on display at the 2008 International Convention (IBC), Amsterdam, September 12-16 at the Harris Corporation Booth, Stand 7.G20, RAI Centre.
"Many video facilities are noisy and chaotic environments, which makes monitoring audio quality very difficult," said Dave Casey Neural Audio product line manager. "By providing a simple way for broadcasters to see loudness relative to other programming, problems can be corrected before they occur. Our graphics are designed to quickly communicate to the broadcaster a loudness snapshot that is accurate and visually pleasing to the eye."
Neural Audio Analytics includes both the ITU BS.1770 Loudness Standard along with Neural's own proprietary Loudness Measure for accurate assessments of all types of content. Each display within Analytics has been designed with the most common television applications in mind. Loudness can be displayed over a period of seconds, minutes or hours and logged for future troubleshooting.
Surround sound can be displayed on the multichannel screen to visualize individual channel characteristics, even in noisy environments. Analytics can also display the impact of metadata parameters on audio loudness if used in conjunction with a digital delivery format such as AC3 (Dolby Digital) encoding.
Neural Audio Analytics is available as a stand-alone product or can be added as a software upgrade to any of Neural's audio correction products. Neural Analytics can be used in conjunction with Neural Loudness Control(TM) and Neural-THX(R) Surround MultiMerge(TM) for a complete measurement, logging, loudness correction and surround imaging correction solution.
