Omnia VOLT is future-proof versatility, at no extra charge!
VOLT’s DSP|Core firmware modules let you rearrange and modify VOLT’s internal architecture,
as your needs change:
♦ Use the VOLT: FM DSP|Core for analog stereo processing at the station, with high-quality,
low-distortion clipping to feed uncompressed STLs. Or use VOLT: FM at the transmitter,
which combines that processing with a high quality, versatile composite signal generator.
VOLT:FM also lets you select BS-412 processing or a low-latency mode, to comply with
local standards.
♦ Use VOLT: AM Broadcast, specially designed for the challenges of AM radio. Versatile
pre- and post-limiting equalization plus presets created for today’s AM stations give you
the cleanest and most powerful signal on the band. Asymmetrical Modulation and Tilt,
applied after the clipper, help you get better performance even from older transmitters!
♦ Use VOLT: HD PRO for HD/DRM/DAB/Web and other compressed media, as well as
syndicated program and studio productions. Selectable bandwidths and crossover points,
plus our exclusive Sensus algorithms, reduce compression artifacts even at low bitrates.
Put it in your syndicated program production chain and do a fast setup: every episode will
be clear, clean, and have a consistency listeners can recognize.
♦ Use VOLT: SG (Stereo Generator) when you want to split your system between a main
processor—usually at the station—and a dedicated MPX stereo generator with advanced
composite features at the transmitter. VOLT: SG can be used with any audio processing
system: VOLT: FM or one of our other fine Omnia processors, or any other loudness
control from another manufacturer.
DSP|Cores aren’t extra cost add-ons!
♦ Download the DSP|Core firmware package you need for free, from Telos’ website…
♦ Transfer it to your VOLT from any network computer, and…
♦ Reboot. It’s that simple!
You can switch applications whenever your needs change. Or keep a spare Omnia VOLT as backup
for every one of your standby processors—and your stereo generator—in all your stations!
DSP|Core is almost something for nothing! There are just two small caveats:
1. Some Omnia VOLT features are designed for specific transmission media. (Obviously,
you don’t need dual composite outputs on a processor you’re using for webcasting.) Each
DSP|Core firmware package has a feature set that’s fine-tuned for its application, and
allocates DSP where it’s needed most.
2. Some DSP|Core firmware versions are still being tested and refined.Check our website for
new ones, and for updates on the DSP|Cores you’re running.
