What NUGEN VisLM 2 Is For
NUGEN VisLM 2 is designed to ensure perceived level consistency across all your deliveries: TV, streaming, podcasts, cinema, radio, or video games. It centralizes key measurements (Momentary, Short-term, Integrated, True Peak) to quickly reach targets, avoid inter-sample distortion, and comply with legislation (CALM Act, R128) as well as internal studio and broadcaster recommendations.
Main Features
Instant Measurement and Compliance
Monitor loudness M/S/I and True Peak in real time, with presets for major broadcast frameworks. "Safe zones" and visual indicators allow hitting targets on the first try, without guesswork.
ReMEM Memory and History
ReMEM technology stores up to 24 hours of data synchronized to your NLE/DAW timecode. Any cut triggers an automatic update of the integrated loudness, avoiding end-to-end re-measurements. Offline AudioSuite analyses can be transferred to the real-time meter for faster-than-real-time measurements.
Granular Control and Readability
True Peak exceedance logging, navigable flags and alerts in the scrolling history, resizable and clear interface for quick decisions, even in live broadcast contexts.
Suitable for Post, Broadcast, and Games
Balance music, dialogue, and effects to deliver consistent masters. Support up to 7.1.2 and PlayStation/Xbox One compatibility facilitate integration into game and VR pipelines.
