Linear Acoustic announced a new file-based and real-time loudness compliance solution. APTO is a complete toolkit to address all the critical stages of loudness compliance throughout the whole broadcast chain, from production to playout, supporting mono to stereo and 7.1 audio formats and implementing all international loudness recommendations, including dialog-based normalization. The new solution targets applications in movie adaptation, radio, streaming and even inflight entertainment systems.

Audio files can now be corrected and adjusted for loudness, Dolby-E shuffling and up/down mixing without being sent back to post-production suites. TSL Products’ new Phinix Suite of Software are now available and will be showcased for the first time in Europe at IBC 2015, in Amsterdam.
