Orban Optimod XPN-Enterprise

ORBAN OPTIMOD XPN-ENTERPRISE – The audio processor tailored to your needs

Radio and internet broadcasters around the world are realizing the benefits of moving operations to centralized – and virtualized – environments. Many of these customers have high-density needs, with many signals that need to be managed. Orban’s new Orban OPTIMOD XPN-Enterprise™easily meets these needs.

The Orban OPTIMOD XPN-Enterprise™ is a customizable, Linux-based, easy-to-use processing platform for multiple broadcast stations or streaming services with centralized control. It provides Orban’s proprietary OptiCloud™ processing for up to 8 FM and 8 HD/DAB+ radio channels, plus 8 Internet stream processing channels for a total of 24 output channels, all in a 1 RU package, using an enterprise-class SoftGear™ server and Orban OPTIMOD XPN-Enterprise™Nodes.

The content to be processed by OPTICLOUD™ is brought to a site using any of the most common audio transport methods – AES3, AES-67, SMPTE 2110-30, Dante or Livewire+, and creates the necessary outputs (analog, AES3, FM Composite, DMPX and Orban uMPX™) using the appropriate Orban XPN-Enterprise nodes for distribution to each transmitter site. With this system, we offer maximum flexibility to our customers, as the configuration can be adapted to their individual needs and even changed or extended easily if necessary.

The OPTIMOD XPN-Enterprise™ server supports AES67, SMPTE2110/2027 – dual redundant networks, Dante and Livewire+ and allows you to set up a state-of-the-art AoIP audio processing system. The content of each input is processed individually. OPTICLOUD™ factory presets give users a quick start for each format, and its unique “Less-More” controls greatly simplify dialing in the sound of your stations by combining various audio processing parameters with a handful of controls. Kantar or Nielsen watermarking for each broadcast output is provided using the appropriate XPN-Enterprise node.
