The LQ-1000 provides
comprehensive loudness and peak level metering of up to eight
channels of 5.1 surround and/or stereo AES or SDI audio per
industry-standard ITU-R BS.1770, a crucial requirement for mixing
and transmitting in compliance with ATSC Recommended Practice A/85.
The LQ-1000 evolved from extensive field experience with mixers and
broadcasters during post production and high-profile live events.
Joining the recently introduced Linear Acoustic AERO.qc, the LQ-1000
is also a 2RU device that shares the same clear at-a-glance display
of all critical parameters on a large color OLED display. The
LQ-1000 offers metering in a simple cost-effective package for
studio mixing and plant-wide monitoring, while the AERO.qc provides
metering, loudness correction and upmixing; both are ideal for
ingest and live sports event metering and control. Deploying the
LQ-1000 and AERO.qc throughout a facility maintains a common user
interface and display, improving consistency and reducing
operational errors.
Mixing to a loudness standard while maintaining production values
requires much more than looking at a simple LKFS number. In the
LQ-1000, current loudness, target loudness and peak level are
clearly indicated with large numbers. In addition, loudness and peak
level are displayed simultaneously on a familiar bar graph display.
Thumbnail input meters confirm signal presence and level on all
channels, and a histogram shows loudness over the duration of the
program. Color is used to display the loudness comfort zone: green
if within target, blue if too quiet, yellow if getting loud and red
if too loud.
Ideally the LQ-1000 display would be directly in front of the sound
mixer. Linear Acoustic will offer a LQ-1000/AERO.qc Remote
Display/GPI module for universal in-console mounting. The units all
provide a VGA output to send the full display to an external monitor
or multiviewer. AES outputs provide de-embedded audio for speaker
monitoring. GPI/O enables remote control of functions assigned to
the four programmable front panel buttons and provides tally output
alarms when the loudness gets too loud, too soft or center channel
is lost.
Immediately available options include HD/SD-SDI input and re-clocked
or re-embedded output, Dolby Digital/Dolby Digital Plus/Dolby E
decoding and dual power supplies.
The LQ-1000 Loudness Quality Monitor is currently in field testing;
production units will ship March 2010.
