TSL PAM PiCo 1 Master Stereo Meter

Master Stereo Meter, 4 channel bargraph display, 2 x AES Inputs (4 audio channels) + 1 Analogue Pair and USB power

No larger than a smartphone PAM PiCo 1 is a compact, yet comprehensively equipped, standalone audio and Loudness meter, designed for use in any operational position where ‘at a glance’ audio metering is required.

PAM PiCo is now available in three fully featured formats; each able to display stereo, multichannel or surround sound audio from analogue, AES or embedded SDI (PAM PiCo Five only) signal sources. Each model can measure Loudness to ALL known international standards and recommendations and the PAM PiCo Loudness Logging Application is supplied as a free download to all PAM PiCo users.

With the complete range of features, including the brand new SMPTE Timecode display and Loudness Logging, across all three models and now that PAM PiCo Five is equipped with a unique Video Preview facility, PAM PiCo is now truly the most comprehensively equipped standalone meter in its class.

Compact metering without compromise

The PAM PiCo has been designed to meet increasing market demands for simple, cost effective audio metering, specifically where loudness measurement and logging is required. Like the award winning TSL PAM1 and PAM2 audio monitoring units, PAM PiCo includes Loudness measurement as standard and recognises the many international recommendations and mandates.Built around proprietary hardware the PAM PiCo does not rely on a 3rd party consumer electronics platform and is self contained; requiring only power and media to function.The PAM PiCo is easy to use, easy to install and packaged with its own desk-mount and interface cable. The PiCo Five version can accept SDI video inputs with up to 16 channels of audio de-embedding, digital audio and analogue inputs. All models are supplied with ITU, EBU, ATSC and ARIB loudness measurement, with user selectable landscape mode as standard. All three models now offer SMPTE Timecode reporting, Loudness Logging, landscape views, FFT Spectrum Analyser and Screen Grabber software with PAM PiCo Five also benefiting from Video Preview.Online software updates ensure that PAM PiCo can be kept up to date with the latest international standards and recommendations.

PAM PiCo Loudness Measurement

PAM PiCo provides reassurance throughout the production chain that loudness levels are consistent and with the addition of loudness logging, enables key operators to maintain a database of ‘show by show’ loudness history as a definitive record of compliance to the many regional and international standards that exist in todays broadcast world.

Loudness Logging

Short and long form content is increasingly subject to exacting broadcast delivery standards which stipulate target loudness and True Peak values. The PAM PiCo can be used to ensure that these criteria are met and a loudness log can be created and used to prove compliance using the ‘free to download’ PAM PiCo Loudness Logging Application.

StarFishTM Display

The StarFish™ is a development of the JellyFish® surround audio display created by DK-Technologies. It provides a picture of the 5.1 surround audio energy field. The display has the front centre channel arranged towards the top with other directions as marked to represent the listeners’ field of hearing. The image here shows the StarFish™ display with equal audio on all legs. Typical sound fields have energy in a variety of directions and more complex shapes are created which give an indication of sound energy within each channel. Unlike the earlier JellyFish display within which a representation of the equal signal would have shown a circle, the StarFish™ takes into account the summation which occurs when there is coherent (in-phase) content between adjacent legs such as left and centre. Polarity inverted (out of phase) signals can cause the shape to be pulled inwards towards the centre point, reflecting the perceived cancellation that occurs.
