OPTIMOD-FM 5300 is Orban's new, affordably-priced processor with many of the sound processing previously available only features that were to OPTIMOD-FM 8400 and 8300 owners.

OPTIMOD-FM 5300

2

The 8400 has developed a reputation as the FM processor that provides the best consistency and cleanest speech. The 5300 reflects this sonic legacy.

OPTIMOD-FM 5300

User-Friendly Interface

An LCD and full-time LED meters make setup, adjustment and programming of OPTIMOD-FM 5300 easy — you can always see the metering while you’re adjusting the processor.

4

OPTIMOD-FM 5300

Navigation is by dedicated buttons, soft buttons (whose function is context-sensitive), and a large rotary knob.

The LEDs show all metering functions of the processing structure (Two-Band or Five-Band) in use.

5

OPTIMOD-FM 5300

Absolute Control of Peak Modulation

• Provides universal transmitter protection and audio processing for FM broadcast.

• Provides pre-emphasis limiting for the two standard pre-emphasis curves of 50 s and 75 s.

6

OPTIMOD-FM 5300

Achieves extremely tight peak control at all its outputs — analog left/right, AES/EBU left/right, and composite baseband.

By integrating the stereo encoder with the audio processing, the 5300 eliminates the overshoot problems that waste valuable modulation in traditional external encoders.

7

OPTIMOD-FM 5300

Flexible Configuration

• Includes analog and AES/EBU digital inputs and outputs. Both digital input and digital output are equipped with sample-rate converters and can operate at 32, 44.1, 48, 88.2 and 96 kHz sample-rates.

• The pre-emphasis status and output levels are separately adjustable for the analog and digital outputs.

8

OPTIMOD-FM 5300

Flexible Configuration

• Internal, DSP-based stereo encoder (with a patented “half-cosine interpolation” composite limiter operating at 512 kHz sample-rate) to generate the pilot tone stereo baseband signal and control its peak level.

9

OPTIMOD-FM 5300

• Two independent composite baseband outputs with digitally programmable output levels.

• Two sub-carrier inputs that are mixed with the output of OPTIMOD-FM’s stereo encoder before application to the composite output connectors. SCA1 has internal sensitivity trim; sensitivity trim available for SCA2 by special order.

10

OPTIMOD-FM 5300

• Precisely controls the audio bandwidth to 15 kHz. This prevents overshoots in uncompressed digital links operating at a 32 kHz sample-rate and prevents interference to the pilot tone and RDS (or RBDS) sub-carrier.

• Defeatable multiplex power limiter that controls the multiplex power to ITU-R BS412 standards.

11

OPTIMOD-FM 5300

• Adaptability through Multiple Audio Processing Structures

5300 features three processing structures:

• Optimum Five-Band (or “Multiband”; 15 ms delay) for a consistent, “processed” sound, free from undesirable side effects,

12

OPTIMOD-FM 5300

• Low-Latency Five-Band (5 ms delay) for environments where talent monitors live off-air and they object to the delay of Optimum Five-Band,

• and Two-Band for a transparent sound that preserves the frequency balance of the original program material.

13

OPTIMOD-FM 5300

Controllable

• 5300 can be remote-controlled by 5-12 V pulses applied to eight programmable, optically isolated “General-Purpose Interface” (GPI) ports.

• 5300 PC Remote software is a scalable graphical application that runs under Windows 2000 and XP. It communicates with a given 8300 via TCP/IP over modem, direct serial, and Ethernet connections.

• 5300's software can be upgraded remotely through its serial port or Ethernet port, or locally (by connecting a Windows® computer to its serial port through the supplied null modem cable) and running Orban-supplied downloadable upgrade software.
