 Next Meeting

The Next Chapter 67 Meeting is Thursday, February 25th 2010

To Be Announced

Thanks to Ed Simeone for an Educational Presentation on

New developments in Loudness Control and Monitoring for the Digital World

The 2010 Hear Factor Educational Tour

and a tour of KERA-TV/FM and the new KKXT-FM

On January 28th at KERA-TV

This was an audio tour that addressed the upcoming Commercial Advertisement Loudness Mitigation Act (CALM), the new ATSC A/85 Recommended Practice, and DTV Loudness - not a sales presentation, but a historical and contemporary overview of loudness control throughout the years. 

Subjects covered included the latest news about the CALM Act and ways of dealing with your Loudness issues on both our primary and .2 & .3 multicast channels. Issues like: monitoring and controlling Dialnorm, Upmixing, AC-3 encoding, Metadata management, Viewer complaints, Loud commercials and FCC compliance.

Ed presented information on solutions for these issues designed to fit all budgets. Technologies have been introduced in the past few months that offer reversible control of source loudness and dynamic range, ability to control and monitor Dialnorm and maximize the effectiveness of Metadata in the AC-3 stream.

 Welcome!
To the home of the Society of Broadcast Engineers Chapter 67 Inc. We have been an active SBE Chapter since 1979. We are the second largest SBE Chapter in the country. We meet on the last Thursday of every month except December, see below for details. We are proudest of our work in frequency coordination, having established the first "on-line" coordination system in 1983. We think of ourselves as a family, and try to help each other both professionally and personally.
