You can switch applications whenever your needs change. Or keep a spare Omnia VOLT as
backup for every one of your standby processors, in all your stations!
DSP|Core is almost something for nothing! There are just two small caveats:
1.
Some Omnia VOLT features aren’t applicable to every processing need. (Obviously, you
don’t need dual composite outputs on a processor you’re using for webcasting.) Each
DSP|Core firmware package has a feature set that’s fine-tuned for its application, and
allocates DSP where it’s needed most.
2.
Some DSP|Core firmware modules are still being tested and refined while we introduce
others. Check our website for updates.
Omnia VOLT installs quickly, with setup and convenience features for today’s broad-
caster:
♦
VOLT includes a built-in HTML-5
server for full control from any computer, tablet, or
smartphone
… it doesn’t need Java or special plug-ins, so there’s no worry about those
vulnerabilities.
♦
Totally flexible signal path
. You can choose analog, AES/EBU digital, or Livewire inputs;
choose which channel to use for mono inputs; use analog, AES/EBU digital, Livewire, or
composite outputs… or all the outputs at the same time. There are separate volume and
channel balance trims, and flexible “flip-phase options”, on each input. You can save and
recall custom input/output setups for different applications.
♦
Switchable insert points for Voltair, watermark encoders, or other downstream encoding.
You can feed encoders with a pre-processed signal from VOLT’s multiband AGC and
limiters. That way, your encoder sees a stronger, more reliable signal. Then feed the
encoder’s output back into VOLT, for post-encoding clipping that protects you against
overmodulation.
♦
Automatic “failover” signal switching.
You can specify a backup input for use if your main
signal drops outs. VOLT can switch to this source automatically, with adjustable sensitivi-
ty, or you can trigger the changeover via contact closure or Livewire GPIO as needed.
♦
Rugged one-rack-unit construction
fits any control room, technical center, or transmitter
shack, with easy-to-see LED meters.
♦
Fanless operation.
Feel free to use VOLT near critical monitoring or live mics.
♦
Flexible Pre-Emphasis Switching
on both input and output. This makes it easy to fit VOLT
into any existing airchain.
♦
Built-in tone generator.
It lets you verify meter readings and signal path quickly.
♦
In addition, the FM Stereo Generator DSP|Core provides:
♦
Dual Variable Composite Outputs
to feed a main and backup transmitter.
♦
Variable Pilot Level and Phase
let you adjust the signal for transmission.
♦
Adjustable SCA input
for additional services, with
19 kHz sync output
to synchronize
external generators.
