Integrated Loudness -27 LUFS
True Peak Max -2 dBTP

About this Target

Netflix specifies -27 LKFS +/-2 LU using dialogue-gated measurement and a maximum true peak of -2 dBTP for applicable full-program mixes.

Netflix's delivery specification depends on dialogue-gated BS.1770 measurement and also includes channel layout, near-field mix, metadata, file-format, and other deliverable requirements. A generic Integrated target range can help visualize the nominal value, but it cannot reproduce the required dialogue-intelligence measurement or certify delivery.

Reference type: Official dialogue-gated delivery specification

Guide: Loudness Leveler

Load a Leveling - Present or Leveling - Deep preset, then select the Netflix target range to initialize the target loudness and limiter ceiling.

Adjust Target Tolerance for the amount of movement you want around -27 LUFS, then use the built-in limiter for the -2 dBTP ceiling.

Metering for Netflix

Use a meter and workflow that implement the required dialogue-gated measurement, then validate the complete deliverable against the current Netflix specification. The APU target selector is only a nominal visual reference for this destination.

Select the Netflix target range as a visual reference, then measure the complete program using the method required by the destination.
