HD Processing Menu
The HD-1, HD-2, and HD-3 menus of Omnia.9 provide access to all sections of the HD processing core(s), depending upon
configuration. From this menu, you can choose the input source, load and save presets, and make changes to the Parametric
Equalizer, Downward Expanders, Input AGC, Wideband AGC1, Multiband Stereo Enhancer, Multiband AGC and Limiters,
Wideband AGC2, Band Mix, Bass Clipper, and Final Limiter sections.
It also includes its own Meter Options menu.
The HD processing cores are suitable for use in both HD Radio (iBiquity/NRSC-5) and DAB (Eureka 147) applications
depending upon the sample rate established in the System> System Config> Sample Rate menu.

Processing Menu

All processing parameters for the individual HD cores are found here. Their functions are similar to those in the FM processing
core. Again, please select the About Preset tab to set up the level of control access.
Like the Studio Processing core, the HD processing cores do not use a final clipper for peak control. Instead, they use a look-
ahead limiter, which is adjustable by the Final Limiter Drive control and operates in a range between -6.00 and +6.00dB in
one-quarter dB increments. Reducing limiter drive (sliding the control to the left) reduces the amount of limiting and gives
you a more open sound, but at the expense of overall loudness. Conversely, increasing limiter drive (moving the slider to the
right) will result in more limiting and a louder output, but at the expense of punch.
