External Encoder Loop - Orban OPTIMOD 5750 Operating Manual

Orban 5750 Technical Manual
•
MB (Multiband) SPEECH THRESHOLD – Sets the threshold of the clipping distortion controller for speech
material.
•
MAXIMUM DISTORTION CONTROL – Limits the maximum amount of final clipper drive reduction (in dB) that
the clipping distortion controller can apply.
•
2B (Two Band) 6-15 kHz HF LIMITER – Sets the amount of extra gain reduction in the top band of the multiband
high frequency limiter.
•
2B (Two Band) LOOKAHEAD – Sets the delay time of the lookahead 2 band compressor. Higher numbers will
yield more accurate processing.
•
MONITOR DRIVE – Sets the drive into the FM clipper in the monitor processor. Lower is cleaner. Allows users
to simulate an FM processing chain for low latency monitoring by talent.

EXTERNAL ENCODER LOOP

The 5750 has a sidechain loop option to place an external ratings encoder INTO THE processing path using either
an AES encoder or an analog encoder.
In the HTML5 interface, navigate to I/O Settings. Under the input tab, at the bottom you will see RATINGS ENCODER.
To insert a digital ratings encoder, you will need to connect the AES 2 output to your encoder. Next, take the
encoder's output and insert it into SYNC IN on the rear of the 5950. Once complete, you will set ratings to ENABLE,
choose where you want the encoding inserted (either after the AGC for stations using one encoder for FM and HD,
or before the composite signals for stations that are not transmitting HD). Under LOOP you would choose EXTERNAL
DIO.
To insert an analog ratings encoder, you will need to connect the analog L/R output to your encoder. Next, take the
encoder's output and insert it into the ANALOG IN on the rear of the 5950. Once complete, you will set ratings to
ENABLE, choose where you want the encoding inserted (either after the AGC for stations using one encoder for FM
and HD, or before the composite signals for stations that are not transmitting HD). Under LOOP you would choose
EXTERNAL AIO.
