Loudness Pilot remote control
Loudness Pilot English Manual (2014-10-07) 65
An SDI button that controls the same function
can be found on the Remote – Master page in
the Processing section.
Detecting parameter
Use this parameter to enable remote control of
features using SDI metadata.
Off setting
SDI remote control is disabled.
Any SMPTE2020 setting
If a SMPTE2020 package is received, Loudness
Pilot can be set to bypass specific parts of the
processing algorithm as defined by the Process-
ing Control parameter.
Processing Control parameter
Use this parameter to specify how Loudness Pi-
lot should process audio when SDI metadata are
detected according to the Detecting parameter’s
setting.
Off setting
No audio processing based on SDI metadata
occurs.
Bypass Loudn. setting
This setting is only available when the Detect-
ing parameter is set to Any SMPTE2020. When a
SMPTE2020 package is present in the incoming
SDI stream, Loudness Pilot will bypass the Loud-
ness processing specified by the Engine preset.
Engines parameter
Settings: E1, E2, E1+E2
Use this parameter to specify the Engines that
should be remote-controlled.
SDID (DID:0x45) parameter
Settings: 0x01, 0x02 (Channels 1/2),
0x03 (Channels 3/4) 0x04 (Channels
5/6) … 0x09 (Channels 15/16)
Use this parameter to specify the audio chan-
nel pair in the SDI stream from which metadata
should be read.
SDIDbackground information
SMPTE2020 metadata are divided into audio
programs that e.g. can consist of stereo and 5.1
audio signals. Only the first audio pair of an au-
dio program carries metadata, and this will be
the audio pair that the SDID parameter should
be set to – e.g. 0x04 for the channel pair on au-
dio channels 5/6 (i.e., the first two channels in
SDI Audio Group 2) in the SDI stream. Loudness
Pilot only receives metadata from the first audio
program in an SDI stream.
The SDID value of 0x01 is defined by the stan-
dard to be used when there is only one audio
program associated with the SDI stream, and
there is no intended association between VANC
packets with an SDID value of 0x01 and a spe-
cific audio channel pair.
Note that only data ID DID 0x45 is defined for
SMPTE2020 metadata, and that is also the only
one valid for Loudness Pilot.
Extraction Line parameter
Settings: Line 9..20
Use this parameter to specify the line in the in-
coming SDI stream where Loudness Pilot should
look for a SMPTE2020 package. All other lines
are ignored.
Input status display
This field displays the SDI signal and its meta-
data.
“License required” display
Displayed when no SDI Metadata license is avail-
able.
To learn where to receive a demo or buy a per-
manent license, go to
tcelectronic.com/where-to-buy
“N/A” display
Displayed when no valid metadata is received.
Please check if the Extraction Line and SDID is
set up as expected in both Loudness Pilot and
the upstream products.
