LQ-1 Overview {LEGACY PRODUCT}
LQ-1 combines ITU-R BS.1770 and EBU R128-compliant metering, comprehensive I/O options, an easy to read display, and a host of other features into a single, cost-effective, compact, and rugged 1RU package.
LQ-1 offers HD/SD-SDI, DVB-ASI, AES and analog I/O plus a TOSLINK® optical input, and accepts baseband and encoded signals with standard decoding for Dolby® Digital (AC-3), Dolby Digital Plus, and Dolby E.
Setup is simple: Select the desired input signal and choose to apply Dolby decoding and metadata if needed. Presets store diverse configurations and can be recalled from the front panel or by GPI.
Extensive alarm capabilities can indicate out of tolerance loudness, missing audio channels, corrupt or missing reference or metadata signals, and errors in Dolby-encoded bitstreams can be detected and logged.

Dolby Dialog Intelligence
Included Dolby Dialog Intelligence provides the most accurate estimate of loudness possible in an automatic meter. By pausing integration during non-dialog sections and reverting to BS.1770-2 over time, loudness can finally be measured with accuracy independent of program dynamic range.
Comprehensive Metering
Input and output signal levels are displayed alongside ITU-R BS.1770 measured LKFS loudness and dialnorm metadata to give instant verification of loudness compliance.
Flexible I/O and Audio Extraction
Baseband or coded audio can be extracted from any pair of an applied HD/SD-SDI signal, AES, optical or balanced analog inputs and routed to the decoding and metering core. In DVB-ASI mode, audio can also be sourced from a selected PID and then decoded and measured.
Downmix Output
A selectable Lt/Rt or Lo/Ro downmixed output is provided simultaneously via the front panel headphone connector and rear panel AES and stereo +4dBU balanced analog outputs. Functions such as metadata emulation and Associated Dialog (AD or Visual Descriptive) mixing can also be auditioned on the downmixed output.
