Loudness Analyzer Playout
LA Playout is an elaborate loudness analyzing tool that receives loudness logging data from Jünger Audio's processing systems and relates them to as-run lists from playout systems in order to create comprehensive loudness reports. This allows broadcasters to keep track of their output loudness, individually for each clip or program segment. LA Playout is a joint development of Jünger Audio and Tecom Group.
LA Playout references loudness logs obtained by J*AM Loudness Logger from Jünger Audio’s processors to common broadcast schedules, “as-run” logs from playout automation systems or simple playlists.
It provides in-depth information about the loudness values of each playout-event (clip or segment) and automatically generates overview reports to document compliance with loudness regulations.
The measurement data is derived directly from the Jünger Audio processor and delivered over network. No additional measurement instruments are necessary.
All data for each scheduled program part is provided in one list, on one screen - for easy monitoring and evaluation.
This allows for quick and easy detection of on-air loudness anomalies.
The analysis is performed in near real time. Broadcasters can access analytical reports instantly to ensure high quality of their broadcasting service and respond to problems immediately.
