EBU R128 stream

Broadcasting networks needed a reliable system to maintain consistent audio loudness levels across different content sources, as mandated by EBU R128 standards. I had to address the technical complexity of real-time loudness measurement and correction while maintaining audio quality and minimizing latency.

I designed a streaming architecture that integrates EBU R128 loudness metering with real-time audio processing capabilities. I implemented algorithms for continuous loudness monitoring and developed automated gain adjustment mechanisms that comply with broadcast regulations while preserving audio integrity.

I began by researching EBU R128 specifications and analyzing existing broadcast workflow requirements. I then developed the core loudness measurement algorithms, integrated them with streaming protocols, and conducted extensive testing with various audio content types to ensure compliance and performance standards.

The solution successfully maintained EBU R128 compliance across all streamed content with less than 10ms processing latency. I gained deep expertise in broadcast audio standards and real-time audio processing, while delivering a system that streamlined the client's compliance workflow and reduced manual audio engineering overhead.
