Omnia Audio Omnia 8x - Manual (Page 37)

Applications
Streaming (webcasting)
One of the biggest advantages to Omnia 8x is the ability to employ it for streaming applications. As stated earlier,
it’s possible to install both Omnia 8x and the audio encoder on the same PC. It’s compatible with all the favorite
flavors of streaming codecs. It’s recommended that a PC of moderate MIPS be employed. The suggestion here is at
least a CPU that operates at 800mHz or more.
File Based Storage
In a production workstation, Omnia 8x provides the ability to process audio files for storage. This is extremely
useful when archiving material, or performing normalization to file based content.
Mastering/Post Production
This is somewhat related to the above section, as more mastering is now done in the workstation domain. The
difference being that the end result usually ends up in compact disc (CD), or recorded form somewhere. Restoration
of old audio masters benefit extremely well as they can be transferred into a workstation where Omnia 8x is
installed.
Recording/Production/Broadcast
Probably the most common application, where the need is to have access to a processor for a host of operations.
Omnia 8x is extremely versatile in its capabilities.
