Audio Loudness Broadcast Compliance Monitoring, Reporting and Logging
Model: Q Check Loudness Logger
Simultaneously monitors and records up to 30 to 40 audio streams (including audio streams in video programs), depending on input and recording video format
Records full transport stream or selected programs
Records streams in original bitrate or reduced bitrate with video transcoding
Schedules recording for specific time period and auto-repeats daily, weekly or monthly
A cost-effective solution for 1770-3 audio loudness broadcast compliance monitoring, reporting, and logging. Supports IP over UDP and HLS protocols, as well as optional ASI input. A single system can analyze in real time and simultaneously record 30 to 40 channels. Can also be purchased as a software license for Q Check™ systems running fewer than 20 channels. Designed to meet broadcasters’ increasing challenge of more services and new transmission protocols.

Manages, searches, and plays back recorded files.
Cuts and merges record files, decodes video frame by frame
Loudness and true peak calculation according to international standard ITU1770-3
Loudness levels include momentary loudness (0.4s time length), short-term loudness (3s time length), and integrated loudness (configurable time length)
Real-time plot of loudness and true-peak value
True peaks can be displayed in absolute scale (LUFS), EBU +9 and EBU +18 scales.
Logs loudness and true peak value in the system database and text files
Supports recorded data query and report generation
Supports TS over IP or ASI input
Supports multiple streaming protocols: UDP/RTP Unicast or Multicast, TS over HTTP, HLS, RTMP, RTSP, and microsoft smooth streaming (Note: Only loudness monitoring is supported for RTMP, RTSP and Microsoft smooth streaming protocols. Stream recording is
Supports MPEG-2, AVC/H.264 video programs
Supports MP3, AAC, AAC+, and AC3 audio encoding
Supports SPTS (Single program transport stream) and MPTS (Multi program transport stream)
Supports live broadcast as well as VOD streaming monitoring
Can record and playback original audio data from transport stream with or without the video data
The recorded loudness and original transport stream data can be saved for up to six months
Simultaneously monitors and logs SCTE35 digital program insertion messages
Auto-alarm, error logging and report generation
Visual and audio alarms for:
Loss of input signals
Loudness over user-defined thresholds
Loss of audio and audio elementary stream component
Error alarms can be sent by email, pushing message service, visual display
Captures and encodes multi-view screen, and streams the encoded data to a remote location using HTTP or RTP protocols for network-wide monitoring
Applications:
Network and MSO broadcast monitoring
Satellite center and cable head-end monitoring
Monitoring multiple MPEG-2/H.264/H.265 programs delivered over the Internet for IPTV, VOD, Mobile, and Telco
