Orban has announced software updates to its Optimod 5950 HD processor, including support for remote time management, expanded monitoring capabilities and security-related updates.
Existing users will be able to get the firmware for free in early May, Orban said. All new units, meanwhile, will ship with the updates.
Software improvements for the 5950 include customizable access control and front-panel security tools, remote date/time and NTP management, expanded monitoring and diagnostic tools, offline updates via USB, expanded HD Radio processing with transient enhance controls and increased headroom, and updates for increased security.
In addition to those updates, the manufacturer said that several optional features have been expanded.
The processor’s streaming option now allows dual-stream support, allowing an all-cloud-based input setup.
Its optional Nielsen encoder provides support for three simultaneous watermarking engines: FM, HD1 and HD2.
The processor’s optional HLS+metadata offers a metadata decoder with EAS chain triggers, and optional uMPX has added support for legacy encoders. A new optional feature, support for fallback file backup, is provided when other inputs are unavailable.
Orban will also be featuring the updated 5950 HD at its NAB Show booth.
