Sound-For-Picture Presets - Orban OPTIMOD 6300 Operating Manual

OPTIMOD 6300 DIGITAL
WMA MUSIC: This preset is based on GREGG SLOW but has been edited to mini-
mize artifacts in the Windows Media Audio V9 codec when operated at bitrates be-
low 64 kbps. See Processing for Low Bit Rate Codecs on page 3-4.
WMA NEWS-TALK: This preset is based on NEWS-TALK but has been edited to
minimize artifacts in the Windows Media Audio V9 codec when operated at bitrates
below 64 kbps.
URBAN: There are two URBAN (Rap) presets: HEAVY and LIGHT. These are similar
to ROCK-MEDIUM and ROCK-OPEN but with a different bass sound. They use the 3-
pole (18 dB/octave) shape on the bass equalizer. URBAN-HEAVY is appropriate for
Urban, Rap, Hip-Hop, Black, R&B, Dance and other similar formats. URBAN-LIGHT is
appropriate for light R&B formats. Highly competitive Urban broadcasters might
also use LOUD-HOT+BASS or LOUD+SLAM, modified versions of LOUD-HOT that
maximize bass punch.

TV 2B–GEN PURPOSE (TV 2-band General Purpose): This preset accommodates most
dramatic programming, providing gentle gain control that limits dynamic range to a
level that provides the general audience with consistently intelligible dialog. It
sounds very similar to Orban's analog OPTIMOD-TV (Model 8182A) when that unit is
adjusted for "General" programming according to the instructions in its operating
manual. This preset retains the spectral balance of its input as much as possible. TV

soundtracks. The 5-band presets (see below) can automatically equalize such pro-
gram material when its spectral balance is inappropriate and can also apply single-
ended dynamic noise reduction.
The TV 2B-GEN PURP+LC preset is identical to the TV 2B_GEN PURPOSE preset ex-
cept that the 6300's CBS Loudness Controller is activated. Note that this can cause
audible pumping on program material with grossly excessive midrange energy or
highly sibilant material. We suggest using a TV 5B preset if you routinely broadcast
such material because the 5B structure can automatically re-equalize such material
to correct the program's spectral balance while simultaneously controlling loudness.
