Varying loudness levels have contributed significantly to customer, listener, viewer, artist and producer complaints in the broadcast industry. The conference aims to assist in understanding the problem and its solution in order to devise a strategy for organisations moving forward.
The world's leading loudness authority Florian Camerer (EBU PLOUD Chairman and EBU R128 co-author), will share Africa-relevant information and unravel what R128, the new standard to which audio programme content should now be mixed, means in practice. A number of international and local speakers will also be sharing their experience and shedding light on the regulated standardisation that has occurred in many countries already, and is on its way to Africa.
Day one of the conferences will involve an introduction to loudness along with practical guidelines on the African regulatory framework. Day two delivers a perspective on broadcast and production, while day three will conclude the event with vendor offerings and an open forum discussion.
