Following the adoption of BS.1770-3, the ITU has updated its international broadcast standard. In response, TC Electronic has released free software updates to bring its loudness products in line with the new version.

‘The broadcast world is fast and ever-evolving, which makes it very important for broadcasters and post and production audio professionals, delivering content for broadcast, to always be on par with the latest development,’ the company says. ‘However, in order to do so, manufacturers must first provide products that comply with the latest development.’

Software releases with BS.1770-3 compliance include updates for the DB2 Loudness Correction Processor, DB4, DB8, DB4 MKII and DB8 MkII TV Transmission Processors, LM2 Stereo Loudness Meter, LM2 and LM6 Native Loudness Meter Plug-ins, and the pro audio signal-processing flagship System 6000 MkII.

ITU-R BS.1770-3 is a global, open standard defining programme loudness measurement and true-peak level. Having donated key technology to both areas, TC Electronic maintains its committment to keeping its meters and processors updated.

TC Electronic recommends all users of DB2, DB4, DB8, DB4 MKII, DB8 MKII, LM2, LM2 and LM6 plug-ins, and System 6000 MkII to update their units. (Download here)
