Se fai parte della vasta comunità di produzione audio che fornisce contenuti per
emittenti o servizi di streaming, devi costantemente far fronte a requisiti diversi
per conformarti ai vari standard di consegna.
Questo articolo del blog è stato creato per offrire una panoramica dei numerosi
standard utilizzati in tutto il mondo. Forniamo i numeri LUFS più importanti e il
collegamento alla documentazione pertinente per ulteriori dettagli.
Si noti che il presente elenco potrebbe non essere completo o aggiornato al 100%
in ogni momento. Le specifiche e gli standard di consegna possono essere
aggiornati di tanto in tanto o ne possono emergere di nuovi, e ovviamente
aggiorneremo questa pagina di conseguenza non appena ciò dovesse accadere e
ci viene in mente.
Globale
Please note: A −20 LUFS lower limit has been chosen as the lowest current practical
value for streaming, as some current mobile devices have insufficient gain to allow the
common production targets of −23 or −24 LUFS to be heard at a satisfying loudness
even if the volume control is turned all the way up.
Please note: AES71 recommends the use of regional television loudness values as
mentioned below and refers to the regional standards. The Integrated Loudness value
shall not exceed –16 LUFS/LKFS und –1 dBTP (TPmax) (not applicable for Japan).
Anchor Element Measurements are not permitted for Short From Content.
Please note: Full program Mix Measurement is recommended for Short From Content,
Anchor Element Measurement is recommended for Long Form Content (conditionally
Full Programm Mix Measurement)
Please note: Anchor Element Measurement for Long Form Content is conditionally
permitted for wide dynamic range content. Short Term value is valid for Short Form
Content only.
Please note: Anchor Element Measurement is not permitted for any Content Form.
