Input section
In Gain parameters
Use the In Gain parameters to apply a static gain
to the currently processed signal. Parameter
range is from -18dB to +18dB.
If Loudness Pilot is used for ingest, better results
may be obtained by using the In Gain parameter
to get the program roughly on Target before pro-
cessing.
As Loudness Pilot has a high internal headroom,
there is no risk of clipping when positive gain is
applied.
Phase L + Phase R buttons
Use the two Phase buttons to switch the phase
of the left and or the right channel of the incom-
ing Stereo signal.
Auto Switching section
Introduction to Auto Switching
Loudness Pilot features Auto Input Switching,
enabling seamless fallback switching to another
signal source if the primary source is not avail-
able.
This feature has several applications. It can be
used to switch back to the primary language if
a second language stream is not available any-
more. It could also be used to switch to an emer-
gency channel as soon as a signal is present on
the respective input.
To configure and use this feature, connect the
respective signal sources to an Engine’s input on
the Frame – Routing page.
►
Connect your Main (primary) signal source to
channels 1 and 2 of the respective Loudness
Pilot Engine.
►
Connect your Auxiliary (secondary) signal
source to channels 3 and 4 of the respective
engine.
