Get all that stuff out of the way and tell me the story. The author wants to sway the reader into like-minded thinking, but it's done in a heavy handed way that I didn't appreciate.

Most fire departments that deal with large incidents or operate in large cities will run a 24-hour shift. The idea is to set up the schedule so that everyone works through the shifts they like and those they don’t as they’re rotated through the different shifts over time. Sometimes you get the weekend off, and other times you will have to work weekends and holidays. A rotating shift schedule is a set of scheduled shifts that change over time, usually in a particular pattern that accounts for shift coverage. With this schedule, firefighters won’t work the same shifts every week. If your department is scheduling a three-shift schedule, the schedule may look something like this for the seven days of the week: where we are trying to put in more shifts, have swing shifts. Though lengthy, these 24-hour shifts allow firefighters to handle all of the duties, checks and operations of that day. It is also our understanding that on December 21, 1941, the California Legis- lature. These three shifts result in most firefighters working an average of 10 of these 24-hour shifts per month. Because of this, most large fire departments schedule three shifts that switch on and off workdays. Every member of the crew needs a detailed rotation schedule that fits with everyone else’s. Just like other public safety departments, administrative teams face challenges when creating a fire department’s schedule. Firefighters always need to be on duty to respond to emergencies in the community they protect. Though a 24-hour shift can be challenging due to fatigue issues, many emergency service workers work this shift length. It does not store any personal data.Almost every fire department will have a rotation in motion around the clock, meaning firefighters are working 24-hour shifts.

To create a new Preset, click the Plus icon at the top of the Preset Browser. While we can enable Loudness Normalization after a compression setting has been applied to a clip, we have more configuration options if we add or enable normalization to a preset before it is applied to a clip. If you are anywhere else, use ITC BS.1770-3.Here’s a link to more information that does not require an engineering degree to understand: Some of these tools have been implemented in the updated version of ITU’s recommendation: ITU BS.1770-3. ![]() However, the group also added new tools such as a relative gate that ensures even more consistent loudness across genres and types of program material. The EBU (European Broadcast Union) has defined the R128 standard based on ITU BS.1770. Here’s a link to the technical spec itself: This standard applies to all US broadcasts. It recommends production, distribution, and transmission practices needed to provide the highest quality audio soundtracks to the digital television audience.” (ATSC website) It “provides guidance to broadcasters and creators of audio for high-definition (HD) or standard-definition (SD) television content. The ATSC (Advanced Television Systems Committee) A/85 spec was approved in 2009, and last updated in 2013. The ITU standard concerns Broadcast Loudness and True-peak Level measurement, and the loudness part is based on an Leq measurement employing K-weighting, which is a specific frequency weighting developed by the Communications Research Centre (a federal research institute in Ottawa, Canada). The ITU (International Television Union) BS.1770-3 spec is global and one of the most important broadcast standards as many other standards are based on it. Loudness requirements grew out of recent industry conversations and legislation in Europe and the US seeking to balance levels between programs and commercials.Īdobe Media Encoder supports three standards: ![]() ![]() In other words, normalization is a single setting applied to an entire clip, while limiting changes the audio levels throughout the duration of the clip. Limiting raises or lowers audio levels on an instant-by-instant basis such that the loudness levels of the clip match the target specifications. Normalization raises or lowers the entire level of a clip by the same amount such that the loudness levels of the clip match the target specifications. If, on the other hand, your audio was not professionally mixed and you want to be safe, then apply these settings. Check with them before applying these settings. HOWEVER, if your audio has been professionally mixed, the audio engineer probably made sure the final mix met these specs. If your audio is going to broadcast or cable, you care a lot. If your audio is going to the web, you don’t really need to care about this. If you can provide more background, please share it in the comments. NOTE: I don’t presume to be an audio engineer. So, allow me to share some additional information. If you’ve read Adobe’s Help files on this feature, you were probably just as confused when you finished as when you started. One of the new features in Adobe Media Encoder CC is the ability to normalize loudness levels to meet broadcast audio requirements in the US and Europe. |
