Eyeheight Introduces New Loudness Tools At Broadcast Asia

At Broadcast Asia Eyeheight is highlighting powerful new broadcast-quality production and post-production tools designed to address broadcast loudness issues.
"KARMAudioAU" is a plug-in designed for Apple's Final Cut editing system to perform offline scaling of an entire programme file to match audio loudness to a target LKFS level.
Uniform scaling is applied to match the content with a predefined loudness target without affecting overall audio dynamic range of image position. KARMAudioAU then effortlessly performs an 8x oversampling true-peak analysis and corrects for true-peak overshoots.
KARMAudioAU also now 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 legaliser also utilises 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.
