Applying OPTIMOD-PC’s Output to WAVE Applications
OPTIMOD-PC’s WAVE output looks like the output of a sound card to the host com-
puter. Any application that can receive the output of a standard Windows WAVE
device can use this output. Most such applications have a menu item that lets you
select the particular WAVE device from which they are receiving input; select
“OPTIMOD-PC.” Once you have done this, you can set the drive level to the applica-
tion via the WAVE output attenuator in the OPTIMOD-PC I/O Mixer. You can select
the source that drives the application (PC Wave 1 output, PC Wave 2 output, output
of Direct Mixer 1, output of Direct Mixer 2, output of OPTIMOD-PC AGC, output of
OPTIMOD-PC pre-limiter, or output of OPTIMOD-PC post-limiter) via the drop-down
selector located above this attenuator.
For example, the figure shows Adobe Audition 2.0 Audio Hardware Setup.
If you have more than one
OPTIMOD-PC card installed,
these will be known to Win-
dows as “Orban Optimod
1101 1 <SERIAL#>,” and
“Orban Optimod 1101 2
<SERIAL#>,” etc.
This is mainly relevant to
users running multiple in-
stances of a streaming en-
coder program like Orban
Opticodec-PC, Real/Helix
Producer or Windows Media
Encoder. Typically, each in-
stance of the streaming
program is connected to a
separately named OPTIMOD-PC WAVE device. For example, if you were running two
streams, one instance of HELIX Producer would be connected to “Orban OPTIMOD-
1101 (serial number of card #1)” and the other instance would be connected to
“Orban OPTIMOD-1101 (serial number of card #2).”
Because Windows XP fully supports OPTIMOD-PC’s multiclient driver, it is
possible to drive several record/encode applications from a single output
of OPTIMOD-PC. For example, this would allow the output of one
OPTIMOD-PC to drive several instances of an encoder, several encoders,
or any other record application.
