Broadcast equipment manufacturers continue to build back inventories after the extensive period of supply chain disruptions that began during the pandemic.
Orban says it is now shipping its Optimod 5950 and 5750 processors and has them in its inventory.
The 5950 earned a Radio World “Best of Show” Award at last spring’s NAB convention. Intended for FM and DAB+/HD Radio broadcasts, it uses a new hardware processing platform that the company says can be configured a variety of ways to meet a product’s requirements as well as incorporating desired options for customers.
Features include six processing structures; intelligent two-band window-gated AGC controls; RDS/RBDS generator; AES67/SMPTE ST-2110 network interfaces, including Dante and Livewire+ compatibility; and support for SNMP V2. It also includes diversity delay, a “true peak” limiter and silence detection. Factory presets include Orban’s “Less-More” controls. Its controls may be accessed via a high-resolution touch display, IP streaming, or HTML5 web browser.
The new hardware platform also has been used in the Optimod 5750, also now shipping. It provides processing for FM analog as well as DAB+, HD Radio and streaming.
