TC Electronic LM5D LOUDNESS METER TDM

LM5D LOUDNESS METER TDM description:

TC Electronic LM5D Loudness Radar Meter plug-in for ProTools|HD: Predictable Loudness Management in Music, Broadcast and Post.

The TC Electronic LM5D derives statistical information from the ITU-R BS.1770 standard to visualize instant loudness and loudness history, thereby helping engineers to realize the dynamic range at disposal during production, and to predict the dynamic range restriction needed during distribution to various platforms. The TC Electronic LM5D is highly suitable for use in broadcast, post production, film and music alike.

TC Electronic LM5D is an extended version of LM5. Complying with ITU-R BS.1770, LM5D includes two long-term universal descriptors: center of gravity and consistency. Any sports, news, music, commercial or film program may be characterized precisely and standardized. LM5D co-exists well with e.g. PPM or Dialnorm measurements, and is intended for use in areas where tight delivery specifications, precision leveling or logging is required. If dialog level is considered important, LM5D may be used to measure regular dialog like, for instance, Dolby LM100, while adding running status and ProTools integration.

Years of research into loudness relating to any type of audio programming has brought TC Electronic to the forefront of performing real-time loudness measurement and control. TC Electronic has taken active part in loudness standardization efforts in Japan, the US, Europe and other areas, and several TC papers are available on the subject.
