Configuration

Enterprise 9s is available in two base configurations: An FM version and an HD/DAB/Streaming version.

The base FM version includes:

• A single audio input ("station")

• One FM processing core, which includes RDS and two µMPX outputs

• One AM processing core

• One stereo L/R processing core for HD, DAB, or streaming, including streaming encoders

The HD/DAB/Streaming version will include:

• A single audio input (“station”)

• One stereo L/R processing core, plus streaming encoders

• HD/DAB/Streaming versions can be field-upgraded to FM versions with a license key

Additional stations may be added by purchasing the appropriate license key. Please contact your Telos Alliance representative for more information.

Configuration requires running the OmniaE9s Config file contained in the OmniaE9s folder, and is broken down into the following sections:

• Base Configuration Settings - Sets the number of stations (defined as a single audio program to be processed and distributed, and typically incorporating FM, HD/DAB, and streaming audio outputs for each) and determines audio I/O (generally Livewire+ AES67 for AoIP enterprise installations).

• Station Settings - Global settings for each station, including enabling Undo, the input mixer, and MPX Output; each option can be enabled/disabled per station as needed, and each station can be named (which can also be done after Omnia Enterprise 9s is started).

• Audio Devices - Sets the ability to monitor audio outputs on the local server.

Once the configuration is complete, be sure to navigate back to the Settings tab and click on Apply Base Configuration. Exit the Configuration by clicking on the "X" in the upper right-hand corner of its window.

Application v. Windows Service

Application

The shortcuts folder contains a shortcut to the Omnia Enterprise 9s application. Launching it runs the software under the current Windows user profile. The application is intended for temporary use during setup and configuration, including as a test environment for adjusting the processing before putting a station on the air.

Connectivity to the user interface is available only on the local server, and the NfRemote client must be running on the server's desktop. When the local NfRemote application is closed, the Omnia Enterprise 9s application shuts down, which is why it should only be used in the intended manner and not used for on-air applications.

Service

Running Omnia Enterprise 9s as a Windows service means that it runs upon startup and no application needs to be open on the desktop in order for the software to run. NfRemote can still be run locally for configuration, control, and monitoring. For on-air use, Omnia Enterprise 9s must be run as a service.

Note: The Application and Service cannot be run at the same time. If the Application is running, the Service cannot be started. Likewise, if the Service is running, the Application cannot be launched.
