HAYWARD, Calif. — March 29, 2010 — Wohler Technologies Inc. today announced that company President and CEO Carl J. Dempsey will be a speaker for the Broadcast Engineering Conference (BEC) "IEEE-BTS Tutorial: Audio Technology for Television," at the 2010 NAB Show. Scheduled for 2 p.m. on Monday, April 12 in room S228 at the Las Vegas Convention Center, Dempsey's presentation is titled "Establishing Convenient Loudness Monitoring and Control Within Existing Broadcast Workflows."
"The noise over loudness has grown to a fever pitch in the United States with the introduction of bill H.R. 1084, Commercial Advertisement Loudness Mitigation, or CALM, which would direct FCC regulation of audio volume in television advertising," said Dempsey. "In my presentation, I'll provide a quick overview of the bill's ramifications and explore cost-effective strategies for instituting convenient, highly automated loudness control and monitoring across the broadcast plant."
In examining today's loudness issues, he will discuss options for integrating loudness control and monitoring with minimal impact on existing operations, whether staffed or unattended, and how new adaptive control algorithms are making it easier than ever to comply with both internal and federally mandated loudness standards.
