Writer Michael Grotticelli talks with Richard Cabot, founder and CTO of Qualis Audio, about how broadcasters are responding to CALM Act mandates and how this may impact audio quality. Topics include the effects of audio compressors and the pitfalls of an overly simplistic approach to measuring and managing loudness. They discuss the effect of downmixing on loudness and how it depends on the type of audio content.
TV Technology reviewer Joey Gill tries out the Qualis Audio Sentinel and provides a very down-to-earth description of what he discovers. His comments range from “don't expect to operate this package on a really junky PC,” to “this box is very powerful and I have only scratched the surface.”
An overview of the Qualis Audio Sentinel's capabilities as an audio monitor – an “electronic listener” capable of either unattended operation or assisting a skilled operator, it provides quantitative measurement of loudness and a comprehensive set of audio quality metrics.
News
This update offers several new measurement capabilities, including a unique dialog balance measurement and downmix loudness measurement. This is the first time both features, which are the subject of patent applications, are available.
Enhancements to the user interface include a more flexible arrangement of meter display panels, and a greatly enhanced display of timeline information.
The release notes are available for download. To obtain the firmware update itself, please contact Qualis Audio.
