<div dir="ltr">I would estimate that about a quarter of this
standard is explicitly about portable devices and applications.
We should also expect the trend of stationary application
becoming portable to continue. Your cell phone or tablet is your
OTT box in increasing cases. My daughters' generation watches
most of their TV and listens to most of their music on portable
devices. I don't know where the cart is but the horse is out of
the barn.</div>

<p>Dear Kevin: We are all aware of the conflicts involved.
I occasionally read the AGOTTV5 reports but got lazy
about it, my bad. <br>
</p>
<p>Since this is primarily intended for OTT boxes and
portable has not been mentioned, I hope there is not a
big conflict. Music will be turned down to -23 in the
OTT boxes. Sooner or later we will have to address this,
but until metadata is standardized it's putting the cart
before the horse. I'm concentrating on helping us get
music streaming services in line, and then eventually
we'll have to reconcile things, but until metadata is
standardized I doubt we can solve the conflict with a
document other than recognizing that a conflict exists.</p>

<div dir="ltr">I don't know if any of you have been
following or working in the AES's AGOTTVS
initiative. This group is working on loudness for
over the top (OTT) and online video distribution
(OVD). They have produced a standards document
that will come out for public comment soon as
AES71. The recommendations are reasonable -
produce, transmit and use metadata where possible,
use BS.1770 with -23 or -24 LUFS target.
<div><br>
</div>
<div>There is, however, a large portable aspect to
these topics and the line between OVD and music
loudness is not very crisp (YouTube is
everyone's favorite music streaming service). In
these cases the -23 LUFS is at odds with the -16
LUFS recommendation in the AES TD1004
recommendation. -16 LUFS does appear in the
AES71 draft in what appears to be a "not to
exceed under any circumstances" specification.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Aside from the potential problems connecting
these recommendations, I see problems with a -23
LUFS target for portable applications. We've
discussed limitations of portable devices and
environments here and I know we don't all agree
but we have seen evidence that this is not loud
enough for certain hardware and situations and
regulations. </div>
