Italy commercial TV loudness spec
What a file has to measure to pass this spec, and where each figure comes from.
| Check | Required | In LC-1 |
|---|---|---|
| Integrated loudness | −24.0 ±0.5 LUFS | Fixed with a level change |
| True peak | −2.0 dBTP max | Limited, with audition |
| Max short-term | −19.0 LUFS | Flagged |
| Format | 48 kHz | Flagged |
Worth knowing
Loudness is measured with a −8 LU relative gate, as the Italian rule specifies, so the reading can differ slightly from an R128 meter. The rule also sets a quasi-peak limit of −9 dBFS, which is not checked here.
