OPTIMOD-PC
•
Digital inputs accept any sample rate from 32 to 96 kHz without manual con-
figuration.
•
Balanced analog input with 24-bit A/D converter is always active, mixing with
the two digital inputs.
•
Two Wave inputs from any PC audio application (like a playout system) that
can emit standard Wave audio. Audio from the Wave inputs can be mixed and
switched with OPTIMOD-PC's hardware inputs. Because there are two inputs,
you can operate two PC applications simultaneously and mix and/or switch their
Wave outputs inside OPTIMOD-PC.
•
Two Wave outputs to any PC audio application that can record or encode.
•
Full PCI bus-mastering with optimization.
•
I/O Mixer application permits versatile routing and switching of processed and
unprocessed audio from and to OPTIMOD-PC's inputs and outputs, and to and
from the host computer's WAVE audio.
•
MS Windows Mixer API support in parallel to the existing Orban Mixer allows
standard Microsoft Windows audio applications to control Optimod PC's inputs
and outputs.
•
MS Windows Metering API so Windows applications using this API will display
audio levels. (Many broadcast playout systems use this.)
•
Terminal Control API for TCP/IP network or localhost control. Allows automa-
tion of all I/O mixer functions and preset switching. Status is broadcast to all ac-
tive clients.
•
Serial port protocol for control and automation of all I/O mixer functions. Al-
lows preset switching.either by ASCII serial commands or by a serial-to–contact-
closure device such as a Broadcast Tools SRC-16.
•
Balanced analog monitor output with 24-bit D/A converter.
•
Precisely controls peak levels to prevent overmodulation or codec overload.
The peak limiter can be set up to control "flat" transmission channels or chan-
nels preemphasized at 50μs or 75μs.
•
Internal processing occurs at 48 kHz sample rate and 20 kHz audio bandwidth.
•
Two AES3 digital outputs at 32, 44.1, 48, 88.2, or 96 kHz sample rate. In v1.0
software, these emit identical signals.
