common in live news broadcasts). The dynamic single-ended noise reduction is
turned on.
TV 5B-SPORTS (TV Five-Band Sports): is similar to TV 5B-N
lease time is slower to resist pumping up crowd noise.
TV 5B-OPTICAL FILM (TV Five-Band Optical Film): is designed to make the best of
the low-quality audio provided with optical film sound tracks (particularly 16mm).
The gate threshold is quite high to avoid pumping up hiss, thumps, and other opti-
cal artifacts. The threshold of the single-ended dynamic noise reduction system is
also high so that this system can reduce artifacts as far as possible. Release times are
slow, because we assumed that material encoded on optical film has already been
carefully level-controlled to accommodate the very limited dynamic range of the
medium, so little gain riding is therefore required from the 8585.

the 2-band and 5-band structures. The equalizer is located between the AGC and
multiband compressor sections of both structures.
Any equalization that you set will be automatically stored in any User Preset that
you create and save. For example, you can use a User Preset to combine an unmodi-
fied Factory Programming Preset with your custom equalization. Of course, you can
also modify the Factory Preset (with Basic Modify, Full Modify, or Advanced Modify)
before you create your User Preset.
In general, you should be conservative when equalizing modern, well-recorded pro-
gram material. This is particularly true with general-purpose video programming.
Except for B G
, most of the factory presets use less than 3 dB of equalization.
