DK-Technologies will be using the NAB 2008 platform to show a colour analyser set that measures both CRT and LCD monitors.
The PM5639 CRT/LCD KIT, which will be on show at the company‘s booth (N1533), includes an LCD probe, a CRT probe and a display unit. The LCD probe has a stand to hold it steady in front of the monitor screen, while the CRT probe comes with a suction cup to secure it to the screen. The entire set is packaged in a handy flightcase, making it easy to transport and offering it protection when it is not in use.
DK-Technologies is targeting the PM5639 CRT/LCD KIT at broadcast and post production facilities, particularly those who are making the switch from CRT to LCD and need an easy to use product that can calibrate both types of monitor. more
DK-Technologies will be premiering its new MSD100C Loudness meter at this year‘s NAB Convention in Las Vegas. The meter will be on show at DK‘s booth: N1533.
Developed in response to requests from key broadcasters and production houses, including SKY, ITV, the BBC and RAI in Italy, the MSD100C Loudness is designed to tackle the issue of the perceived loudness of audio signals.
There is no doubt that loudness is a hot topic for the broadcast and post production industries. As anyone who has ever reached for the TV volume control during a commercial break will know, today‘s sound processing can lead to remarkably high perceived sound levels without sound exceeding the maximum permitted signal peak levels.
DK-Technologies‘ new MSD100C Loudness is a stand-alone unit that incorporates ITU Recommendations BS.1770 and BS.1771, which specify the algorithms that should be used to measure audio programme loudness. It is able to display the loudness of the individual audio channels, as well as the sum of the left and right signals, and can be used in any broadcast or post production facility as a health check during production or prior to transmission. more
Rome, Italy: Fox Channels Italy has become the first broadcaster to invest in DK-Technologies‘ new MSD100C Loudness meter, which is designed to tackle the issue of the perceived loudness of audio signals.
The new meter has been installed at Fox Channels Italy‘s studios in Rome where it is being used as part of the Broadcast Content Management chain to meter and normalize the loudness of programmes ingested into the video server, before transmission. FOX Channels Italy has also upgraded the MSD600M++ meters that it is using in its audio post production department to incorporate DK‘s new loudness software.
DK-Technologies MSD100C Loudness incorporates ITU Recommendations BS.1770 and BS.1771, which specify the algorithms that should be used to measure audio programme loudness. Many broadcast authorities are now looking to formally adopt the ITU recommendations in order to improve the quality of broadcast audio by making it consistent across all channels and programmes. more
