The Power of OPTIMOD-PC
Optimod-PC uses advanced "look-ahead" limiting with very low overshoot, effectively preventing clipping in the sound card or encoder overload. "Look-ahead" limiting technology automatically produces maximum loudness with minimum side effects. Unlike clipper-based peak limiting, look-ahead limiting doesn't generate extra spectral "junk" that wastes precious encoder bits in the lossy codecs universally used in digital transmission. It's the ideal way to perfect your sound for any digital audio, streaming audio, or audio-over-IP application.
Optimod-PC ships with over 20 factory presets (each adjustable with easy LESS/MORE control), allowing immediate, effortless setup for any programming format. It includes an interface for complete remote administration over TCP/IP. You can adjust and monitor levels, tweak the processor's sound through a versatile user interface, and save and recall presets. It also includes software that enables the card to batch-process audio files without user intervention.
On-board DSP minimizes CPU load. By comparison to processing running on the computer's CPU, Optimod-PC's built-in DSP allows several streams from a single computer, and minimizes signal delay to help preserve lip sync in video streams.
Multiple cards can be used in a given computer or PCI expansion chassis, which is useful in multi-program environments like a Eureka-147 multiplex or large encoder farms. Optimod-PC is compatible with industry standard encoders such as Microsoft Windows Media Encoder, RealNetworks Real/Helix Producer, Apple QuickTime, MP2/MP3, and OEM applications. Optimod-PC a WDM driver for Microsoft Windows 2000/XP, and a networkable control/mixer application. Optional cable assemblies with a DB-25 connector and terminated with XLR connectors or unterminated are available.
