Details
For advertisements, promos, interstitials and similar short programmes. The current supplement adds a Maximum Short-term check to Programme Loudness and True Peak. LRA is intentionally omitted because the recommendation considers it unsuitable for this content length. The historical alternative Maximum Momentary limit is not included because EBU removed it from the current recommendation.
