Ebur128

Audio Multiple outputs Transform

EBU R128 scanner.

FFmpeg filter: ebur128 — the official reference.

Add it to a graph. The explicit form works for every filter — bind it to its input and read the result from outputs():

$outputs = $audio->addFilter(new Ebur128())->outputs(); // one stream per output pad

Shorthand. Not available — apply() returns a single stream, and Ebur128 has multiple outputs. Use addFilter() + outputs() above.

TODO — when this filter shines: what it’s the right tool for, what to reach for instead when it isn’t, and how it composes with neighbouring filters.

TODO — prose: how the filter actually works and what its key parameters mean (the explanation FFmpeg’s terse option help omits).

TODO — runnable PHP, with the equivalent ffmpeg CLI alongside.
