Chameleon TV
Those commercials are way too loud!
Yeah. Hold my beer.
The CALM Act is not a suggestion. Neither is EBU R128. And streaming platforms will quietly bury your audio if it doesn’t hit -16 LUFS. Compliance with all of this, and whatever comes next, used to mean choosing between an ENG van and a loudness processor.
Chameleon TV handles all three for $999. One switch picks your target. -24 LUFS for ATSC A/85. -23 LUFS for EBU R128. -16 LUFS for streaming and OTT. CTV does the rest.
CTV listens to what’s coming in and adapts in real time. No thresholds to set. No attack and release times to tune. No multiband mystery meat. It controls dynamic range, levels the loudness, and gets out of the way. Dialog stops mumbling. Music emotes. Sound effects don’t make them scramble for the remotes. Commercials behave. Finally.

$999
Not missing a zero.
CTV is stereo, AES/EBU or analog. For SDI or HDMI, pair with an embedder and de-embedder from Blackmagic. About $1,600 all in.
Drop CTV ahead of the encoder at a TV station and the FCC nastygrams stop. The same box turns a church livestream into a professional broadcast and gives streaming encoders the clean input they need to sound right.
You could spend ten grand on a loudness processor. And it will have a bunch of bells and whistles that you pay for, even if you don’t use them. But if loudness compliance is all you need, now there’s a box that does that. Simple. Effective. And no arms or legs.
