Volicon Adds Loudness Monitoring

Volicon introduced integrated real-time loudness monitoring capabilities to its Observer version 6.0 video monitoring and logging system. The Observer Remote Program Monitor (RPM) and MPEG Transport Stream (TS) systems now offer loudness monitoring tools to help maintain compliance with the CALM Act and EBU P/LOUD R 128 specification by monitoring and logging the audio, video and BS.1770-2 loudness measurements, while providing a method to export a visual affidavit.Observer provides a constant on-screen record indication of both loudness and loudness range measurements. Adjustable short-form (for example, 10, 15, 30 or 60 seconds) and long-form (hours/days) measurements enable comparison of ad loudness with surrounding content. Users can instantly access the conflicted area of the broadcast by date or time navigation; view loudness measurements; troubleshoot loudness according to an acceptable range; and then export ads with integrated audio, video and measurements as evidence of compliance.
