Omnia XII supports an optional stream receiver input, supporting HLS+ streams from SuperHifi and other providers. This lets you pull a programmatic, localized HLS+ stream directly into the processor over IP as input source. The processor natively decodes HLS+ data, allowing it to route song titles, artist information, and programmatic metadata directly to its built-in dynamic RDS encoder.
The HLS+ receiver implementation includes up to 24 hours of backup playout capability. If the primary network delivery stream drops, the hardware relies on cached content to ensure zero dead air.
You can set HLS+ audio in the web UI only. These configuration controls are not included in the front panel touchscreen.
Note: The individual input meters (Analog, AES 1, and so on) are pre-fader. The IN bar graph meters are post-fader.
To configure HLS+ audio:
From the FM / HD Processing page, click the IN tab.
Click the HLS+ tab in the middle panel.
In the Control tasks section, configure the HLS+ stream receiver:
In the Main HLS URL field, type the URL for your HLS+ audio.
(Optional) In the Backup HLS URL field, type the URL for your backup HLS+ audio.
In the Mode drop-down, click the desired mode (such as HLS1 only (no failover).
Click the Archive duration drop-down menu, and select how long you want HLS+ audio to stream.
The Omnia XII supports up to 24 hours.
