Automatic Volume Control


Description

This algorithm is intended for TV sound applications. The perceived volume level often changes considerably from channel to channel, and also within a channel, especially for commercials. This algorithm will automatically compensate for the different levels.

Usage

This algorithm supports growing the input channels for 5.1/7.1 applications. However, the volume detection is calculated from the first 2 inputs only (left and right) and the resulting level compensation and delay is applied to all other channels.

Configurable Parameters

GUI Parameter Default Value Range Function Description
—————————————- ———————- —————— —————————————-
Enable Off On or Off Turns the processing on and off. This is a bypass switch; changing its position will immediately affect the output signal
DecayRate 4 sec 0.02 - 12 Controls the time to bring a low signal upward to the target level
MaxAttenuation 18 11 - 18 The maximum attenuation that will be applied to a loud signal as the algorithm attempts to maintain a target output level
OutputLevel -18 -18 - -3 The target output level (in RMS) that the algorithm will try to maintain
MaxGain 12 0 - 15 The maximum gain that will be applied to a quiet signal as the algorithm attempts to maintain a target output level
FreezeLevel -36 -36 - -20 The threshold below which the algorithm considers a signal to be “noise” that is not suitable for amplification. When the audio input goes below this level, the output gain will remain unchanged. This effectively lets the algorithm ignore background noise when the main signal of interest is not present. Note that, there is a slow 'Decay Rate' of 12 seconds for the envelope below the freeze level
SideChainFilter B-Weighting Filter Side chain filter selected
