Configuring Loudness Meters

ITU-BS.1770-3 loudness meters for each output in each Instance are provided. The loudness
meter is tied to a specific Instance and program output and the meter settings can be different
for each program output. This allows program-specific monitoring if desired. The loudness
meter setups are located within Instance 1 (or 2) > Output > Loudness Meter settings. See
Figure 6-9, below.
