<span style="font-size:16px; font-stylRSPE Product Description Template.html">Loudness has never looked this good. Next Generation Loudness Metering</span><br /><br />
You can get TC TouchMonitor TM7 & TM9 in 6 basic configurations based on connectivity, features and physical size. Simply choose between 7” or 9” touch screen, stereo or multichannel and whether you want the Radar Meter to be included with the multichannel version or not. Further, you have a number of I/O options to choose from. As standard, TC TouchMonitor TM9 comes with 16 digital balanced I/O, and TC TouchMonitor TM7 features 8 analog plus 8 digital I/O. However, an additional number of I/O configurations on either balanced or unbalanced connectors (Sub-D or BNC) are available as well. A TM9 SDI 3G I/O card will be available in 2011. Further, you can expand or upgrade TC TouchMonitor TM7 & TM9 by installing optional software instruments (meter types) such as Real Time Analyzer or upgrade to Multichannel Mode.<br /><br />
TouchMonitor is the ultimate, stand-alone loudness meter solution, featuring a touch screen with highly flexible layout options, an extremely consistent loudness readout and compatibility with all major  broadcast standards, including ITU-R BS.1770, EBU R128 and ATSC A/85.

<h3>Flexible Screen Layout</h3>
Tailor the screen layout to optimize it for any application, making your life easier and letting you achieve ultimate end results. For instance, let the Radar Loudness Meter fill out one side of your screen, while using the remaining space for e.g. a Phase or PPM meter. You could even have two Radar Loudness Meters running simultaneously to monitor audio loudness at different stages.
