Channel Change:

This clip comes from the A&E Network television show Intervention, and from World Wrestling Entertainment’s Monday Night Raw. We captured this change from one channel to another in real-time during 2009 as aired on the Charter Communications cable system in Westborough, MA, USA. We used a Hauppauge WinTV-HVR-1950 to capture the video and audio. The relative loudness difference between the two channels in the ‘without Total Volume’ clip was not altered in any way—this is an accurate recording of the original broadcast. We created the ‘with Total Volume’ clip by processing the recorded audio stream through our Total Volume processor, adjusted to its "normal" setting.

Loud Commercials:

This clip comes from a commercial for the CNBC network television show On The Money, and from a commercial for the Sanofi-aventis U.S. product ACT Total Care. We captured this sequence of two commercials (on the same channel) in real-time during 2009 as aired on the Comcast cable system in Holliston, MA, USA. We used a Hauppauge WinTV-HVR-1950 to capture the video and audio. The relative loudness difference between the two commercials in the ‘without Total Volume’ clip was not altered in any way—this is an accurate recording of the original broadcast. We created the ‘with Total Volume’ clip by processing the recorded audio stream through our Total Volume processor, adjusted to its "normal" setting.

Wide Program Dynamics:

This clip comes from the Paramount Pictures film Mission: Impossible 3. We ripped the movie clip directly from the DVD.  The relative loudness difference between the dialog and the loud explosion in the ‘without Total Volume’ clip was not altered in any way—this is an accurate reproduction of the original DVD release. We created the ‘with Total Volume’ clip by processing the recorded audio stream through our Total Volume processor, adjusted to its "night mode" setting.
