On Thursday July 14th the AES Melb Section met at the JMC Academy auditorium, where Jean Paul Moerman of Salzbrenner Stagetec gave us an overview of the topic TV Loudness. This has always been a sensitive topic, but since the evolution of TV to digital systems the apparent problem has intensified.
Jean Paul described the new metering system developed by the European Broadcasting Union to better measure program “loudness” than the PPMs, QPPMs, and peak-reading meters now commonly used in Europe.
