05 - COPPA - Target - Loudness - Exchange - Panel PDF

This document discusses target loudness and true peak levels for content delivery and exchange. It recommends delivering content at -24 LKFS for target loudness with minor variations of up to +/- 2 dB accepted. For true peak level, it recommends keeping audio below -2 dB TP and defines true peak level as the maximum absolute waveform level measured per ITU-R BS.1770. Broadcast networks agree commercials should be delivered at a single loudness value of -24 LKFS to simplify production and distribution, while content producers need to consider how their programs will be delivered.

Target Loudness and True Peak Level For Content Delivery and Exchange

Gregory Coppa
Director, Engineering and Advanced Technology

CBS Television Network

Target Loudness
Target Loudness Without Metadata
Delivered/exchanged at -24 LKFS Minor variations of up to +/2 db are acceptable
Due to measurement uncertainty In practice this works

Content loudness should NOT be targeted to the high or low side


No cheating!

True Peak Level


True Peak Level
True Peak definition
The maximum absolute level of the signal waveform in the continuous time domain, measured per ITU-R BS.1770 [3]. Its units are dB TP (meaning decibels relative to nominal 100%, true-peak)

Kept below -2 dB TP
Downmix parameters chosen to ensure this

Networks Agree !
Agreement Among Broadcast Networks
Commercials
Providers agree that one value for all makes sense for them Simplifies production/distribution

Programs
Producers need consider the environment their content will be delivered

Delivery Specification
Mechanism for ensuring proper delivery

Thank you
