Omnia Forza breathes new life into the traditional five-band processor design, featuring all-new AGCs and multiband limiters. As a software processor, Forza is delivered via a Docker container that can be deployed on-premises on a COTS (commercial off-the-shelf) server or cloud-hosted.The use of expertly crafted launch point presets and an intuitive yet powerful user interface based on smart controls seamlessly maintains harmony between under-the-hood controls and settings. This integrated control design means anyone can drive Forza with confidence, and ensures instant sonic excellence for listeners. More advanced users will find the tools they need to craft their unique signature sound.Forza is an AoIP-native processor utilizing Livewire+AES67 standards, and built for server-based, scalable facility designs embraced by forward-thinking professionals. Forza comes in two base versions, covering every broadcast scenario and workflow.Forza HDS is specifically designed for L/R audio applications like HD-2/3/4, DAB, and streaming. It provides a consistent and polished audio signature without sounding overly processed. An integrated, target-driven ITU-R BS.1770 loudness controller makes conforming to emerging streaming loudness requirements a set-and-forget process. For those wanting the benefits of a virtualized software processor but with the simplicity of pre-configured hardware, up to four instances of Forza HDS processing can be pre-installed on the Telos Alliance AP-3000 platform.Main Features:Legendary Omnia audio qualityWideband AGC, 5 bands of multiband AGC, 5 bands of multiband limiting, plus soft and hard bass clippersStereo enhancerComprehensive bass management controlsDual AoIP inputs for mixing two sources or for automatic failover switching (Forza HDS)LUFS target-driven ITU-R BS.1770 loudness controller and True Peak limiter for compliance with streaming platform requirements (Forza HDS)Omnias highly regarded Sensus conditioning for low bitrate streams and HD RadioCarefully crafted Omnia presets ensure great-sounding audio on all types of formats and programsSmart Controls combine the adjustment of multiple, interrelated parameters into a single knob or sliderInnovative single-page GUI welcomes less-experienced users while still providing the tools processing experts expect and needBrowser-based HTML5 UI works on any device, including Windows and MacOS computers and Android and iOS smartphones and tabletsOptional Kantar and Nielsen watermarkingRequirements:Cores needed per instance: 1 core (x86-64 V3, 6th generation Skylake or preferably later Intel Core architecture, or Gen 1 Xeon server CPU)CPU speed requirement: 2 GHzMemory requirements: 256 MB RAM per instanceLatency: 50ms typical; CPU speed, AoIP setup, and other factors will affect system latencyRequired Linux distribution: Ubuntu Server v20.04 or 22.04 (64-bit)Click here to see the Forza HDS release notes
