Measuring Volume
In digital broadcasts, volume adjustment based on “loudness” is required for the purpose of suppressing variance in the
volume between programs and broadcasting stations. Loudness is a numerically converted value of the sound level
sensed by humans.
EDIUS can measure the size of noise compliant with the ITU-R BS.1770-2 and EBU R128 loudness standards.
Measuring the Loudness of Sequences
The loudness of the current sequence can be measured.
1 Click [View] on the menu bar, and click [Loudness Meter].
