A description of the nominal audio signal strength resulting from a given input level and gain in an audio device or system. Level within analogue audio circuitry is often measured in dBu. The instantaneous signal strength, for any nominal level, can vary from the noise floor to the dynamic ceiling. Professional “line level” typically indicates a nominal level of +4 dBu, while “consumer level” typically indicates a nominal level of –10 dBu. See also ceiling, dBu, noise floor. Compare volume.
Industry:Software; Computer
Auxiliary data that your application can store in a QuickTime movie, track, or media structure. The user data is stored in a user data list; items in the list are referred to as user data items. Examples of user data include a copyright, date of creation, name of a movie’s director, and special hardware and software requirements. See also user data item, user data list.
