Introduction
The JOCLoudness monitoring is a modular monitoring system that receives data from playout and from Loudness meter module, all this data is entered in a database (DB) system. Using the reports modules (windows and web) the user can access to that data in a very useful and easy way.
For instance the following reports can be done with a couple of clicks:
- See the Loudness graph of Monentary (M), ShortTerm (ST), and TruePeak from of desired channel from time X to time Y
- See the Loudness graph Integrated Loudness (I), Loudness Range (LRA), M, ST, TP from a singular broadcasted item
- Order all my assets by I (from louder to silent)
- See my broadcasted playlist with I, LRA and TP of each broadcasted item
- Etc… (see following sections)
All modules are independent software instances that can run in a different machines (physical or virtual), the communications between them are TCP and they use very low bandwidth. Thanks to that we don’t need to set up the system in a broadcast center, we can configure a remote system that could monitor multiple channels using a low bandwidth internet connection and a usual DTT reception.
In order to have an idea of system performance, with a low level PC (Intel core i3 3.07GHz, 4GB RAM) we can monitor at least 2 DTT channels without problems.
All modules displayed in the block diagram figure can be easily configured/added/removed (trough GUI, and without stop the system) to monitor more than one channel or to work in parallel to improve system performance.

- A common feature of all following modules are that they generates a large and detailed information in its logs file, this is very useful to analyse modules performance and to forensics analysis. The log file is located [AppPath]\YYYYMMDD_[name of module].log (YYYY = Year, MM = Month, DD = Day)
