Features
- An “Optimod on a PCI card”—low cost and high performance from the leader in on-air signal processing used by commercial and non-commercial broadcasting worldwide.
- Processing designed for digital media using no pre-emphasis, including digital radio, IBOC, two-channel digital television, and webcasting.
- Creates the polished, professional sound of “big-time” radio broadcasting
- Multiband AGC and compression achieve punch, consistency, and loudness.
- Versatile equalization fine-tunes spectral texture to let you achieve a signature sound for your digital broadcast or webcast.
- Advanced "look-ahead" limiting with very low overshoot prevents overload of the sound card or encoder while ensuring high loudness.
- Works in any 100% IBM-compatible Pentium II or better PC with PCI slots.
- Ideal for systems using perceptual codecs: Optimod-PC’s look-ahead limiter doesn’t produce extra bit-wasting grunge (as do simple clippers), so every bit in your data stream is productively used to encode the desired audio.
- Over 20 factory presets (each adjustable with easy LESS/MORE control) allow immediate, effortless setup for any programming format.
- Sound is customizable to almost any degree desired with dozens of controls for fine-tuning texture, dynamics, and equalization.
- On-board DSP minimizes CPU load—all audio processing is done on the card.
- As many cards as available PCI slots, including PCI expansion devidces, can be used on one computer. A fast computer can therefore run up to as many encoders and support up to as many stereo streams as the CPU is capable of encoding.
- Complete remote administration is available over TCP/IP: Adjust and monitor levels, tweak the processor's sound, and save and recall presets.
- Included software enables the card to batch-process audio files without user intervention.
- Low throughput delay (less than 30ms) to help preserve lip sync in video streams.
- Compatible with industry standard encoders such as Microsoft Windows Media Encoder, RealNetworks RealSystem Producer, Apple QuickTime, MP2/MP3, and OEM applications.
- Drivers for Microsoft Windows 2000/XP.
- Optional cable assemblies with a DB-25 connector and terminated with XLR connectors or unterminated are available.
