New from Orban is the Optimod 5750 HD, scheduled to ship this fall. Processing of HD Radio HD2 channels is a key use case.
“Based on the popular Optimod 5750 processor, this new 1-RU hardware unit offers processing for FM analog as well as DAB+, streaming, along with HD1 and HD2,” the company said in its announcement.
“FM/HD1 channels can be blended or independent, and HD2 can also be managed independently.”
Four processing structures are available: Five-Band, Low-Latency Five-Band, Ultra-LowLatency Five-Band and Two-Band.
“The product also provides intelligent two-band window-gated AGC; RDS/RBDS generation; remote control/monitoring via HTML5 web browser; SNMP V2; diversity delay; silence detection, Orban’s exclusive Less-More control along with multiple factory presets, and more,” it said.
President David Day said company is “working to push further adoption of multiple HD Radio channels among broadcasters who can’t afford or don’t want to pay the high price of other multi-channel processors. This processor will be available at about half the cost of comparable processors on the market.”
Orban will show it at the IBC show.
