Loudness correction to dominate at NAB By Fergal Ringrose
Nugen Audio FOR THEfirst time, LM-Correct is available as a file-based program, taking its speed and simplicity outside the Avid environment. LM-Correct is designed to offer automatic, faster-than-realtime loudness analysis and correction.
LM-Correct is ideal for rapid, intuitive correction in situations where time is limited, providing an automatic method of rapidly conforming audio to current loudness standards

AMONG ITShighlights at NAB, Harris will be showcasing a range of products including routers, servers and playout solutions.
The Platinum IP3 router is claimed to be the broadcast industry’s first router to accommodate separate video, audio and data paths within the same frame, becoming the first broadcast router to offer a true path to network convergence. It is also said to be the first signal router that can scale to multi-frame configurations for very large broadcast and media operations — 2048x2048 and beyond — using a common architecture, simplifying installations and eliminating costs associated with external components and complex cabling.
NanoAir launch to Enrich production
Nugen Audio is now offering VisLM 1.6, a significant update to its visual loudness monitoring tool. With this new version, VisLM is available for the first time in the Avid AAX format. Additionally, VisLM is now available in a 64-bit OS X version.
VisLM 1.6 also includes a new dialogue gate option that allows automatic measurement of dialogue sections within the source material. Measurements can now be written to automation tracks so that elements such as the loudness profile and true-peak clips can be seen against the waveform in

Also on display is the next-generation, software-based Nexio Volt server, which addresses customer needs for higher channel counts in a compact form factor, while increasing options for robust media storage. The 1RU unit doubles the number of available record ports with four bi-directional HD channels (up to eight SD).
In playout, Versio combines baseband video, channel branding and automated workflow capabilities in an easy-to- deploy, software-based, 1RU channel-in- a-box solution. It significantly reduces the cost and time to launch broadcast, cable and other TV channels and services while offering simple integration with production, traffic and billing, scheduling, asset management, content playout and master control functions — taking full advantage of existing facility workflows
the digital audio workstation timeline for diagnostic referencing.
The Nugen Audio ISL Inter-Sample True-Peak Limiter is designed for the control of peak levels in audio signals from mono to 5.1. Unlike traditional approaches to limiting, ISL offers a true brick-wall solution, measuring inter- sample peaks and allowing the user to define the true-peak limit of the audio output (rather than the more traditional threshold control at which limiting begins to take effect).
