<h2>TM9 - TouchMonitor Audio Meter</h2>
In an ideal world, the human ear would be the best instrument any of us could use for quality control and impartial judgment of your daily work. However, it is just not that simple. The introduction of HD and surround sound, as well as loudness control issues have triggered an increasing demand for quality control and monitoring of audio signals. Fast perception and accurate assessment of audio levels using visual representation methods are indispensable elements of daily work. RTW's easy-to-use Audio Monitors are the obvious choice.
<br /><br />
<h3><span style="background-color: initial;">Simple and flexible</span></h3>
The graphical user interface used in the TouchMonitor TM9 is controlled simply by using your finger or a mouse. Instruments can be scaled, randomly positioned and combined in almost every way for optimized use of available screen space. Even multiple instruments of the same type, assigned to different input channels and configurations, can be displayed simultaneously. Plus, a context-sensitive, on-screen help feature supports the user, allowing him to make setup changes with ease.

	The fully scalable, modular software concept allows flexible configuration according to your needs. The 4-channel basic software (4 x Mono, 2 x Stereo, 2 x Mono and 1 x Stereo, Peak Hold, Phase Meter, Global Keyboard, Gain-Reduction) can extensively be expanded by activating optional software licences like Multichannel Mode, Loudness, RTA and others. The current firmware version provides measurements of immersive surround formats. On new devices with appropriate audio interface, these signals can also come from AoIP data streams now.

<h3>Available Software Modules:</h3>
<h4>Build your meter!</h4>
A totally modular software concept means that you have to purchase features that you actually require. This puts you in control, defining the functionality of an individual TouchMonitor that suits your needs best. New instruments and functions can be added as software modules (licenses) to the device at any time. Many display functions from RTW products well known and used for years are available to choose from. <br /><br />
<h4>SW20001: Multichannel Mode</h4>
This module expands the signal routing to Mono, Stereo, 5.0 Surround, 5.1 Surround, 7.1 Surround and Multichannel (2 to 8 channels in one block, up to 2 blocks). <br /><br />
<h4>SW20002: Loudness and SPL Display</h4>
This module expands the basic stereo PPM with Loudness measuring functions as described in EBU R128, ITU-R BS.1770-3/1771, ATSC A/85, and ARIB guidelines, and the LRA instrument for the graphical display of the Loudness Range. A customer-specific mode allows the user to modify parameters. In addition the module provides the SPL display mode with various weighting filters and integration times as well as reference level adjust to calculate an SPL value from an electrical signal. For signals with more than two channels software module SW20001 is required. <br /><br />
<h4>SW20003: RTA - Real Time Analyzer</h4>
This module provides on 31 bands a spectral distribution display for single channels, channel pairs or groups plus HP HF band. For signals with more than two channels software module SW20001 is required. <br /><br />
<h4>SW20004: SSA - Surround Sound Analyzer</h4>
--- Precondition: Software module SW20002 is already installed! --- <br />This module is a powerful tool for visualizing the interaction of all important parameters of surround signals. The dynamic behavior of all display elements (House display) corresponds to the subjective listening impression, enabling you to see the balance of a surround programme intuitively and at a glance.<br />For signals with more than two channels software module SW20001 is required.<br /><br />
<h4>SW20005: Radar Display</h4>
--- Precondition: Software module SW20002 is already installed! --- <br />This module provides a high resolution circular Loudness display for Momentary values and history, enhanced with numerical display of measuring time and two descriptors. The Radar Display equals the Loudness Radar Meter of TC Electronic®. For signals with more than two channels software module SW20001 is required. <br /><br />
<h4>SW20006: RTW Premium PPM</h4>
This module expands the Basic Stereo PPM (standard software) with additional scales (Zoom, SMPTE, NHK, ARD+9, et al.), additional display modes (segment, classic), and moving coil instruments with different scales and functions. It also provides a 2-channel Audio Vectorscope and a separate phase meter. <br />With software module SW20001 installed also the Multichannel PPM is extended with these functions and enhanced with the Multi-Correlator (up to 10 phase meters). The Gain Reduction is added with Multi-Channel mode.<br /><br />
<h4>SW20013: BLITS</h4>
--- Precondition: Software module SW20001 is already installed! --- <br />This module is a tool to allow generating digital line test signals according to EBU 3304, GLITS, and BLITS definitions as well as automatic and significant analyzing of channel allocation, level, phase and delay, and polarity of received BLITS 5.1 test signals.<br />
