Miranda Launches End-To-End Loudness Monitoring, Logging and Correction Solutions at NAB
MONTREAL, QUEBEC, Apr 05, 2012 (MARKETWIRE via COMTEX) --
Miranda Technologies Inc. (TSX: MT), a worldwide provider of
infrastructure, playout and monitoring systems for the television
broadcast, cable, satellite and IPTV industry, today announced the
launch of its end-to-end loudness monitoring, logging and correction
solutions for both automatic, real-time processing during playout and
file-based pre-processing prior to air.
"With over 7000 channels of real-time automatic loudness correction
deployed worldwide, Miranda is a recognized industry leader in
providing unique integration of the leading loudness algorithms,"
says Marco Lopez, Miranda's senior vice president of Infrastructure,
Routers and Monitoring. "This allows a broadcaster to perfectly match
the loudness correction to its type of content."
Three new loudness-related advancements will be unveiled at NAB 2012.
First, is the introduction of segment-aware loudness monitoring and
logging to the Kaleido series multiviewers and the real-time loudness
correction processors. Using Miranda's iControl system, broadcasters
can now accurately log the average loudness per segment, enabling
easy creation of detailed reports at a later date, thus enabling them
to address loudness control regulations around the world, including
the Calm Act in the USA.
Secondly, because the abundance of content, including most
commercials, is now file-based, broadcasters can now monitor and
correct content prior to playout, using Miranda's Enterprise Suite.
This file-based processing provides effective loudness correction
while maintaining the full dynamic range of the original content.
Finally, Miranda is introducing Intelligent Automatic Loudness
Correction, which enables broadcasters to avoid audio quality
problems associated with the unnecessary processing of content that
has already been through loudness correction. Through tight
integration between Miranda's file-based and real-time loudness
correction solutions, customers can automatically turn on and off
loudness correction. For example, if a commercial has already been
processed using file-based loudness correction, Miranda's real-time
processor will instantly detect that this content was already
corrected and will turn off the automatic loudness correction.
Intelligent Automatic Loudness Correction ensures that content will
never be double processed, maximizing the audio quality of the
client's programming.
As Lopez, explained, "This end-to-end solution optimizes loudness
processing for different types of content ensures that the highest
audio quality is achieved by only performing loudness correction
once, and gives you all the tools to monitor, log, and report the
average loudness per segment for all of your channels. Loudness
control is not just about compliance, it's also about preventing
viewers from reaching for their remotes to adjust the volume. As
everyone is all too aware, that remote can also tune the television
to a competitor's channel."
Miranda is exhibiting at NAB 2012, Booth N2512. See
