New Media Technology Omnia ONE Multicast manual Welcome to Omnia.ONE, January

Welcome to Omnia.ONE!

I wish to offer my sincere gratitude on behalf of our company and welcome you to Omnia.ONE!

This manual was assembled by a dedicated team of specialists who were instrumental in the development of our newest product, Omnia.ONE. This is our next step in the never-ending quest to build the best signal processor in the world. Considerably more powerful than what its small package implies, Omnia.ONE possesses new hardware and algorithm capabilities that even exceed its predecessors. It is also the first audio processor to incorporate LiveWire connectivity, enabling linear audio over dedicated networks. It’s the hottest ‘interconnect’ technology in the professional audio industry today.

Broadcasters require a lot of flexibility in an audio processor because transmission systems exist in many different forms. The processor you choose must have the tools to meet those needs. Special firmware inside Omnia.ONE allows it to meet the challenges of FM, AM, HD Radio, DAB, DRM, Multicasting, Podcasting, Netcasting, Satcasting, and any other form of ‘casting’ you can think of. There’s plenty of power inside its little 1U frame, so don’t let the size fool you!

It was 1986, in the engineering shop at Z-100, (WHTZ-FM) New York City where our first product was born - The Vigilante FM Limiter. Twenty-one years later and with an incredibly talented team of designers behind it, we offer you the newest baby in our ever-growing family, Omnia.ONE!

Speaking of the team, I wish to offer a sincere and heart-felt thank you to: Rob Dye, Bill Mohat, Ed Zmuginsky, Mark Manolio, Ted Alexander, David Jablonski, Scott Stiefel, Sean Overberger, Betty Ferrell, Steve Kiffmeyer, Denny Sanders, Marty Sacks, Mike Dosch, Kirk Harnack, Mike Uhl, Jim “Clemenza” Armstrong, Marc Johnson, Ken Skok and a host of others (as you can see, it’s not just “Frank” anymore!). It’s a great team of people who always maintain one goal in their minds…keep raising the bar!

Steve Church, my partner in crime and founder of Telos, first introduced DSP technology to broadcasting in 1985. Our team of DSP gurus is the finest in the audio industry. Our own specialized DSP ingenuity has been tremendously beneficial to Omnia’s development.

You have in your possession an incredible audio processor. Also, you have the full support of our entire organization standing behind the product. If you have feedback, or even a new idea, we’re here to listen! Customers, like you, offer us valuable feedback. After all, it’s feedback like yours that helped us introduce the original Omnia.fm, and then take the industry by storm. Our quest today, just as it has been all along, is to continue to be the audio processing brand leader.

To borrow a phrase from my old stomping grounds, Z-100 in New York City, Omnia went from worst to first in the minds and ears of radio broadcasters. We are honored, equally humbled to say the least, and grateful to you, our customers, for helping us make that happen! Omnia processors have been installed by tens of thousands of broadcasters throughout the world, and I am overwhelmed when I look at the list of our end-users. So, it’s to you, our loyal customers and friends, that I say Thank You!

To Great Sounding Audio…the World over!
