The term "Station" references a single audio program to be processed and distributed and typically includes outputs for FM, HD/DAB, and streaming audio. The total number of available stations is determined by your license and by available server resources.
Click the Stations tab. Each licensed station will have its own configuration screen. Using Station 1 as an example:
Enter a name for the station in the Longest field (A).
Note: The NfRemote application can be re-sized to fit a wide variety of screen sizes, and its control labels and information fields will dynamically re-name themselves depending upon available space. The "Longest" field will be used if space permits, with subsequently smaller fields (Long, Medium, Short, and Shortest, in order) being employed as the allotted space diminishes. You may populate as many or as few of these fields as you like.
Enable the Input Mixer (B) if two audio sources will be mixed together as program inputs.
If you plan to use Omnia Enterprise 9s' "Undo" feature, click the Undo button (C).
Note: "Undo" is a two-stage process for dealing with audio sources that have been over-processed during mastering. A de-clipper recreates clipped audio peaks to minimize distortion, while a multiband expander restores dynamic range to material that has been dynamically over-compressed. Undo is particularly well-suited to music recorded from the mid-2000s onward but isn't generally required for older or well-recorded content. Since it doesn't work when it's not needed, there is no harm in enabling Undo for all stations, but remember that it does require additional CPU cycles and increases throughput latency.
Select the number of HD output paths in the HD cores dropdown (D).
To enable FM processing, choose "Yes" from the FM core dropdown (E). If your station needs to employ BS.412 limiting to comply with regulatory requirements, choose "BS.412" instead.
Enable the Stereo Generator (MPX) (F) to create a composite output signal and enable the uMPX menu and its related controls in the FM Output menu.
To enable AM processing, choose "Yes" from the AM core dropdown (G).
Depending upon the mode selected in the I/O menu of the Settings section, you can enable or disable an AES67 output at 44.1 kHz (H).
If you have the proper license(s) for Kantar (I) and Nielsen (J) watermark encoding, they can be enabled here.
