In broadcast and production, true innovation rarely comes from a single breakthrough. It emerges when multiple vendors, disciplines, and technologies align around a shared vision. For Telos Alliance, that vision has always centered on open standards, interoperability, and empowering broadcasters with tools that let them focus on creativity rather than complexity. That’s exactly why we’ve committed ourselves to the MXL initiative.

I'm just going to state the obvious up-front: engineers love tools. We collect them, we label them, we argue about them, and we usually know exactly which one we need (just as we realize we don’t have it on us!).

But one of the most useful engineering tools you already own probably buzzed with a notification while you were reading that sentence - your smartphone.

Video streaming services delivering content to the state of California will soon be required to change the way they handle advertising to alleviate one of viewers’ biggest annoyances: Loud commercials. Thanks to Senate Bill 576, signed into law in October 2025 and taking effect on July 1, 2026, commercials can no longer be noticeably louder than the surrounding program.

The problem of dialog intelligibility is nothing new and something that we’ve likely all come across on more than one occasion. Whether it is quiet dialog that forces you to continually ride the volume control on the TV remote, or actors mumbling their lines, intelligibility issues can take many forms. But how can we detect that a piece of content has issues that need addressing and, more importantly, how can we improve sections where intelligibility is a concern?

This year, we celebrate 20 years of 25-Seven Systems, and some first-person reflections are in order to tell the story of a little company that has had a profound impact on the broadcast industry. Like most company biographies, this one is really about a group of people who came together to build first one thing, then another, setting off on a path that eventually led to our forever home as part of Telos Alliance. What held it together wasn’t a single genius or a big pile of money, but the creativity and personal glue of a self-selected team.
