Digital Broadcast Step by Step

DB2 puts all of the tools necessary for trouble-free broadcasting into one rack-mountable unit, and adds to a scalable family of processors covering from regional stations to network centers, from Pod-cast to HDTV, from AC3 to linear, and from mono to 5.1.

• Automatic Loudness Correction - Consistant Loudness without the Hassle
• Compliant - ITU BS.1770, EBU R128, ATSC A/85, etc.
• Upgradeable - If Your Needs Grow, Upgrade from DB2 to DB4 or DB8

The Transparent Loop

We are the world's premier supplier of automatic loudness correction equipment and our high-quality audio loudness range trickle-down concept works independently of metadata, but nevertheless is fully compliant with metadata in, for instance, the AC3 codec.

DB processors not only automate loudness control in a proper way, they also help take the extra workload and unpredictable behavior out of the codec.

Apply it in ingest and/or transmission as part of a transparent loop, based on international open broadcast standards, spanning from production over transmission to delivery at the home viewer/listener.

If you're in production, use one of our metering tools such as the LM6 radar loudness meter and obtain predictable results across broadcast platforms. News, soap, commercial, film, music, promo. All genres are covered.
