Digital broadcasting has tremendous potential — the
potential to sound really awful if the coding process removes all the
dynamics from your sound. Meet Omnia ONE for Coded Audio: the ONE box
that pre-conditions your audio to minimize the audible effects of
bit-reduction.
A fresh new design based on the latest, most powerful
platform ever, Omnia ONE uses SENSUS™ technology (developed in
collaboration with the coding experts at Telos) to monitor content and
dynamically optimize processing for the target encoder, resulting in
fewer coding artifacts for smooth, clean multicasts. Its debut at NAB
2007 earned it a prestigious Radio World “Cool Stuff” award earlier this
year.
Digital radio isn't the only bit-reduced stream that can
benefit from Omnia ONE. Satellite broadcasters, producers of webcasts or
podcasts, those preparing audio for broadcasting to cellular phones —
anyone producing audio for coded channels can benefit from the
audience-grabbing sound that's made Omnia the first choice of
broadcasters everywhere.
“Broadcasters require a lot of flexibility in an audio
processor, because transmission systems exist in so many different
forms,” says Omnia founder and president Frank Foti. “And Omnia ONE is
very flexible. Special firmware allows it to meet the challenges of FM,
AM, HD Radio™, DAB, DRM, multicasting, satcasting, podcasting, and any
other form of ‘casting’ you can think of!”
The benefits of Omnia ONE include:
-
A wideband gain rider plus four-band AGC allows fine
adjustments to create “signature sound.”
-
Look-ahead final limiting, optimized for Digital
radio, with feedback limiters for the lower two bands and
feed-forward for the upper two bands.
-
SENSUS codec conditioning technology enhances clarity
and musicality even at low bit rates.
-
Time-aligned, dynamically flat,
perfect-reconstruction crossovers.
-
Selectable phase rotation for vocal warmth and
presence.
-
Full-featured I/O section includes Analog and AES/EBU
connections, plus Livewire™ interface for direct integration with
Axia IP-Audio networks.
-
Silence-sense can automatically switch to backup
input on loss of audio.
-
Flexible remote control via Ethernet, RS-232, or GPIO
connections.
Visitors to IBC 2007 in Amsterdam, September 6 – 11, can
see and hear Omnia ONE in the Telos / Omnia / Axia stand, # 8.239. Omnia
ONE for Coded Audio is shipping now with an MSRP of $2,995.00 USD.
