BSS has introduced Soundweb Omni, using its most powerful processor implementation to date to address the diverse DSP needs of hospitality, large venues, corporate, education and government installations.
The Soundweb Omni family combines enterprise-grade processors, I/O expanders, Dante/AES67 networked audio, an onboard scripting engine developed by AMX, and a library of processing objects, including media playback, AEC and VoIP.
The platform is managed through AVX Architect and AVX Control, an all-new software suite, built to support the latest installed products from Harman Professional starting with BSS Soundweb Omni.
Soundweb Omni is designed to meet the specific requirements of A/V system designers, integrators, and end-users, removing the pain points often found in traditional system design. It combines purpose-built hardware with intuitive software that offers the flexibility of centralised or distributed DSP, allowing system designers to choose the most appropriate topology for any installation. This is accompanied by the introduction of HControl, a human-readable, standards-based, and developer-friendly API. Soundweb Omni supports both 48kHz and 96kHz processing.
Soundweb Omni features two flagship processing devices, the 512p and 256p, which deliver high DSP power and high Dante/AES67 channel counts, up to 512x512 at 96kHz. This surpasses previous generations and positions Soundweb Omni to meet today’s complex demands while remaining future-ready for tomorrow’s AV/IT needs.
It also offers the 32e and 16e I/O expansion devices, which provide I/O flexibility. Each audio I/O port is ‘format configurable’ as either analogue or stereo AES3 digital. Further, certain audio I/O ports and all GPIO ports are ‘direction configurable’ as either inputs or outputs – all managed through software on an individual port basis.
The AVX software suite streamlines the configuration, control and monitoring of Soundweb Omni systems through two user-friendly applications. AVX Architect is a desktop software app for system diagramming, device configuration, network management, and custom UI design. AVX Architect allows users to add an unlimited number of processors and expanders to a single project file, while still enjoying the simplicity of a true, single canvas for device configuration.
AVX Control is a lightweight software app that provides easy access to custom UIs for controlling and monitoring devices across a multitude of platforms, including Windows, iOS, Android and AMX Varia touchpanels. These custom UIs work not only with Soundweb Omni devices, but also Crown DCi amplifiers and previous generation Soundweb London devices, thanks to protocol-bridging technology developed by AMX.
