10 DESCRIPTION OF CONTROLS
Output Section
ENHANCE fader
Controls the level of dynamic enhancement from 0 to 125%. In Normal Mode, full
sample value limiting occurs only with settings at or above 100%. When SAFE
MODE is selected, sample value limiting occurs permanently, and the ENHANCE
fader controls the degree of dynamic loudness boost.
OUTPUT LEVEL fader
Adjusts the output level from -18dBr to 0dBr.
DITHER button
Toggles between 16-bit output word length, 24-bit output word length, or no
dithering (NONE).
DITHER TYPE button
Selects the output dither type, which includes conventional TPDF and four different
types of noise shaping options (see description in the Operation section of this
manual for details).
DEPTH button
Selects the effective degree of action for any selected noise shaping option from 0%
to 100%.
OUTPUT meter
Displays the plug-in’s final output level.
OUTPUT clip LEDs AAX version only
Indicates sample value >= 0dBFs (orange LED) for NO DITHER mode, or maximum
values in 16-bit and 24-bit DITHER modes (Red LED with ‘16’ or ‘24’ as appropriate).
PEAK HOLD button
Select this for long-term monitoring of peak levels.
RECON METER button
Switches the output meter to display actual reconstructed programme signal levels,
ie. the signal that will be present in the analogue domain after decoding with a digital
to analogue converter. When uncorrected, the overload region is displayed in red.
AUTO COMP button
Selection of this function enables extra processing that allows automatic
compensation of potential reconstructed programme overloads. For monitoring
purposes, the meter overload region remains visible during auto compensation, but
