[Tig] OT-Audio levels for theatrical use from digital post

[Steve Hullfish]

I'm no expert in this area, but I was the post supervisor on a  
theatrical trailer and when we mixed it at a reputable audio house in  
LA the mixer kept referring to a specific audio number that was the  
peak "legal" limit. It was not a db level on his mixer but a separate  
numerical display (possibly a Dolby device). It's been about 5 years  
so I can't recall perfectly, but it seemed like he had to keep the  
level under "84" or something like that. Once again, I think there is  
a standard, but I'm not sure what the actual number is or what the  
reference is from.
