Topic: DIGI CHECK ITU-1770 Question

How should i set DIGI-CHECK that i can measure -23 LUFS as average Loudness for a TV-Production. When i use the Audiocation ACR128 - PlugIn in Cubase i manage to bring the Level to -23 LUFS. The DIGI-CHECK Software shows me in the same Time something about 1 LU in the Programm Integrated window.

How does this two results fit together? I would be happy about any Information!

THX

Re: DIGI CHECK ITU-1770 Question

From EBU Tech 3341:

The scale used may either be an absolute scale, using the unit ‘LUFS’, or alternatively the zero point may be mapped to some other value, such as the target loudness level (as in ITU-R BS.1771). In the latter case the unit shall be ‘LU’, indicating a relative scale. For an ‘EBU Mode’ meter, the target loudness level shall be -23 LUFS = 0 LU (as defined in EBU R 128). The ‘EBU Mode’ meter shall offer both the relative and the absolute scale.
