Question About Cue Sound for 70s-80s UK TV Shows - Blu-ray Forum

bigshot · 11-24-2017, 05:28 PM

I'm noticing something about the British TV shows I've been ordering from Amazon UK. Occasionally, there is a high frequency tone that beeps and then beeps a couple of times in the middles of programs. It's very high, almost inaudible. I'm guessing it's around 16-17kHz. Is this some sort of cue for the engineers to get ready to cut to a commercial break? It's very irritating. I'm going to have to adjust my EQ to get rid of it.

Have you got any examples with time-codes?
