Flat panel TVs, 5.1, Atmos, streaming studios. . . With all these innovations and changes over the last 20 years, why has dialog intelligibility become a subject of concern and discussion among consumers and content creators? This panel will discuss some of the factors that cause viewers at home to feel they have to opt for watching with subtitles on. What are EBU R128 and ITU BS.1770, and why didn’t we need these specifications 20 years ago? What is the correlation between dialog intelligibility & loudness? And what steps can mixers, producers and studios take to make sure that what they hear on the mixing stage will translate to a wide variety of different viewing and listening environments?
