Default Discovery Global Tech Spec vers 4.0.

Hey DUCers!

Anyone had a chance to peruse/mix to Disco's 2013 tech spec yet? Any thoughts on it?

I have a copy, but am not scheduled to mix to it for a few months yet (hopefully). Was wondering what means people are going to use to follow it, I am thinking a mix of VisLM/LM100, but am interested to hear other peoples thoughts...

I'll check if those documents are something I can release or if only content providers have access through the producer portal. If yes, I'll set up a link to it.

Has anyone had any luck mixing to short-term +/-4. I'm finding it impossible during quieter sections with atmos only!

Are you mixing for real to a spec that demands this, or are you just testing it out?

I'm doing 2 Discovery shows at the moment and am finding this part of the spec most frustrating. I'm Constantly having to massage the levels when heading into a quiet section (i.e. in between items) so not to drop the average level below -28. Pauses in dialog or naturally quiet sections are just impossible. I'm wondering how serious these specs are taken and how other people are managing them....

I haven't seen the one for shows yet, but the spec for promos seems pretty reasonable; -24 LKFS ±1dB, -2dB True Peak.

The only oddity I noticed is that they want the two pop at 00:59:57;06 . I'm not quite sure how they came up with that number.

probably from the DPP
I suspect it has asked for it to be 2 frames long as well so that survives Pal/Ntsc transfers
