DTS Neural Loudness Control

DTS Neural Loudness Control (NLC) is a real-time loudness correction technology that measures and regulates the perceived loudness differences in audio. By using a perceptual loudness measure, loudness is controlled without diminishing any of the dynamics. The result is a natural, open and consistent audio experience for the listener. By simply adding DTS NLC to the signal path, broadcasters can rest assured they are in full compliance with the CALM Act and other governed loudness targets.

DTS Neural Loudness Control operates in mono, stereo, 5.1 and 7.1 modes and contains a variety of loudness measures including DTS Neural Loudness Measure and ITU BS.1770. DTS Neural Loudness Control detects spectral and density differences, inter-channel relationships and temporal overlaps within the audio signal. After loudness measurement, DTS Neural Loudness Control technology applies the appropriate gain or attenuation to the audio to achieve a user-defined loudness level (Dial Norm).

Key Features
• Maintains consistent loudness while preserving short-term dynamics
• Authors content to match the ITU BS.1770 loudness standard
• Using look-ahead technology makes large gain corrections imperceptible
