Telos Alliance, a global leader in broadcast audio for over thirty years, has announced the immediate availability of its Omnia Forza FM virtual audio processing software.
Introduced at the 2024 NAB Show, Forza FM is the latest addition to the Omnia software processor line. It employs a five-band architecture, similar to Forza HDS used for HD, DAB, and streaming audio. However, Forza FM’s wideband and multiband processing stages are specifically optimized for FM radio. The software includes the “Silvio” clipper designed by Frank Foti, which is also used in Omnia.11, and a stereo generator with two µMPX outputs. It also features processing for HD-1 with an integrated diversity delay.
Deployment Options
Forza FM is available as a container that can run on an on-premises COTS server or a cloud-hosted platform like AWS. Additionally, up to two instances of Forza FM processing with µMPX can be licensed on the Telos Alliance AP-3000 hardware platform.
User Interface and Controls
The software maintains the intuitive, single-page HTML5 UI introduced with Forza HDS. It incorporates “smart controls” that adjust multiple parameters simultaneously, making it easier for less-experienced users to achieve high-quality on-air sound. It also offers detailed control options for experienced users to fine-tune their audio settings.
Market Response
Frank Foti, Omnia Founder and Chairman of the Board of Telos Alliance, stated, “The excitement surrounding Omnia Forza FM since its sneak preview in 2023 has been incredible. The response from users has been overwhelmingly positive, and we are pleased to announce that Forza FM is now shipping.”
