Note

  • Even if this item is unchecked, when the frame rate or audio sampling rate differs from that of the project setting, audio bitstream will be removed.

[Normalize Loudness] setting

Checking this item enables to measure the loudness and perform normalization at the same time when you export a project file.

For normalization, the volume of the entire project can be adjusted according to a predefined loudness reference value.

[Loudness Meter]

(1)

Loudness reference value

Select the preset to use as the reference for loudness measurement and normalization.

(2)

[Output report file]

Check this item to export the loudness adjustment details and measurement result values of the sequence to a text file.

The text file will be saved in the same location as the exported project file. If project files are to be exported to FTP or some other destinations, they will be saved in the “Log” folder in the project folder.

Note

  • If the audio of the project to be normalized is muted or low, after a message [The audio adjustment level is too large.] is displayed, export may be canceled. This is performed to prevent low-volume sound such as noise from being unintentionally adjusted louder.

The level for SD image quality will be Main Level, and the level for HD image quality will be High Level. The profile & level changes according to the format selected in [Chroma Format].

[GOP Structure]

For MPEG, a certain number of frames is considered as a group, and operations such as compression/enlargement and cut editing are performed on a GOP basis. A GOP comprises “I frame”, “P frame” and “B frame”. The I frame allows images to be reproduced independently, the P frame is for recording and reproducing only the differences with the preceding image, and the B frame reproduces images from the differences in the preceding and following images. Select I, P and B frame patterns of the GOP from the list. Normally, select [IBBP].

[I-Frame Only] is comprised of only I-pictures. Editing is made easier, but the amount of data increases in size.

[Picture count]

Set the number of frames included in a group.

[Closed GOP]

Check this item to complete information within each GOP. Although the amount of data increases, the video can be re-edited using software that supports GOP-based editing. Normally, leave this item unchecked.

[Audio settings]

[Emphasis]

Select from the list for high-frequency compensation that saves while emphasizing the high range. With [None], there is no high-frequency compensation. [50/15 us] is an emphasis setting employed by some audio CDs, etc. [CCITT J.17] is a telecommunications standard recommended by CCITT.

[Protection]

The “protection_bit” indicates whether redundancy is added to an audio stream in order to make error detection and correction possible. Check this item to change it to “1”, indicating that redundancy is being added. Uncheck this item to change it to “0”, indicating that redundancy is not being added.
