We are proud to be working with Minnetonka Audio as integration partners for their powerful ATS server system. This modular system can fit into any number of workflow scenarios, and handle audio processing in the background, leaving more time for mixers and engineers to do the fun stuff.

AudioTools Server (ATS) is a modular platform for adding audio–related processing, quality control, and management to video-centric workflows within existing asset production systems. With à la carte options such as SurCode for Dolby E, SurCode for Dolby Digital Plus, SurCode for Dolby Pro Logic II, loudness measurement and control, watermarking, file validation, transcoding and quality control, AudioTools Server is designed to be the audio hub for defined processes orchestrated by each user’s choice of Workflow Management. ATS is not designed to replace asset production systems. Rather, AudioTools Server augments, improves and extends in–place systems, serving as the foundation of an optimized asset production workflow.

Dolby Media Meter V2

Dolby® Media Meter 2, like the original Dolby Media Meter software tool, accurately and objectively measures loudness as viewers subjectively experience it.

New features include:

- User-selectable measurement algorithms, including LEQ(M), ITU1770 or LEQ(A) based measurement

-True Peak, and Dialogue Range measurements

- A high-quality peak limiter.

- Level meters

- Real time graphing function

- Warning(alarm) settings with user-selectable function and threshold

As with the original, Dolby Media Meter 2 features user-selectable Dialogue Intelligence™ technology that detects and measures loudness only during the presence of speech.

Dolby Media Meter 2 runs as a Mac® or Windows® stand-alone application, as a Digidesign® Pro Tools® AudioSuite or RTAS plug-in, and as a VST plug-in for such popular programs as Nuendo and Fairlight. It can also run as a Mac-only  AU for Apple® software. Dolby Media Meter 2 supports measurement of Dolby Digital, Dolby Digital Plus, Dolby TrueHD, Dolby E, and PCM audio formats. All versions of Media Meter 2 can produce and save log files.

Dolby Media Meter

Dolby has released the Media Meter, a great way to accurately determine Dialnorm levels from within your DAW.

With Dolby® Media Meter, Dolby adds to its lineup of unique and innovative tools that accurately and objectively measure loudness as viewers subjectively experience it. Dolby Media Meter features Dialogue Intelligence™ technology, adopted from the award-winning Dolby DP600 Program Optimizer, that automatically detects and then measures loudness only during the presence of speech in an audio track. Dolby Media Meter measures loudness using the ITU-R BS.1770-1 algorithm, and measurements can be done either with or without Dialogue Intelligence.

Dolby Media Meter runs as a Mac® or Windows® stand-alone application, as a Digidesign® Pro Tools® AudioSuite or RTAS plug-in, and as a plug-in for Minnetonka AudioTools™ AWE. Dolby Media Meter supports measurement of Dolby Digital, Dolby Digital Plus, Dolby TrueHD, Dolby E, and PCM audio formats. All versions of Dolby Media Meter can produce and save log files.

Used as a stand-alone product, Digidesign AudioSuite plug-in, and Minnetonka AudioTools AWE plug-in, Dolby Media Meter is a faster-than-real-time, file-based measurement application.* This is useful for DVD and Blu-ray Disc™ mastering, and for program creation and quality control applications in audio production, postproduction, and broadcast facilities.

As a Pro Tools RTAS plug-in, Dolby Media Meter measures loudness in real time, so that users can track levels during the mixing process to help meet network delivery requirements. The RTAS plug-in can simultaneously display short- and long-term loudness levels that are based on the level of dialogue in the mix.
