Radar page section
Momentary Range parameter
Settings: “+9 Scale” or “+18 Scale”
EBU mode meters can display two different mo-
mentary displays:
+9 Scale setting
The +9 Scale setting provides a narrow loudness
range intended for normal broadcast. It gives a
momentary meter range from -18 to +9LU.
+18 Scale setting
The +18 Scale setting provides a wide loudness
range intended for film, drama and wide range
music. The It gives a momentary range from -36
to 18LU.
Radar Speed parameter
Range: 1 minute to 24 hours
The Radar Speed parameter controls how long
each revolution of the Radar display takes. You
may “zoom” between the settings during run-
time, as long as the history isn’t reset.
Pressing the Reset button on the Radar page will
reset meter and descriptor history.
Radar Resolution parameter
Range: 3 to 12dB/div
The Radar Resolution parameter sets the differ-
ence in loudness between each concentric circle
in the Radar display. Choose a low value when
targeting a platform with a low dynamic range
tolerance. You may “zoom” between the set-
tings, as long as the history isn’t reset.
Low Level Below parameter
Range: -30 to -6LU
The Low Level Below parameter determines
where the transition between the green and blue
range occurs in the outer ring. It indicates to the
engineer that the signal level is now at risk of be-
ing below the noise floor.
Alert Indicator parameter
M Over only setting
When the Alert Indicator parameter is set to M
Over only, the red Alert indicator on the Radar
page will indicate when the signal level surpass-
es the value set with the M Threshold parameter
in the Loudness Alert section.
Stereo Integrity setting
When the Alert Indicator parameter is set to Ste-
reo Integrity, the red Alert indicator on the Radar
page will indicate a lack of stereo integrity based
on measuring the difference of left/right inputs. If
there is a consistent difference between left and
right over a prolonged time, the LED is lit.
