OPTIMOD-TV 8382
The all-digital OPTIMOD-TV 8382 Audio Processor
can help you achieve excellent audio quality and
loudness consistency in analog television
broadcasting that uses FM aural-carriers
with 75 µs or 50 µs pre-emphasis.

Because all processing is performed by high-speed
mathematical calculations within Motorola
DSP56362 Digital Signal Processing chips,
the processing has cleanliness, quality and stability
over time and temperature that is unmatched
by analog processors.

Designed specifically for the demands of television
audio, the programmable OPTIMOD-TV 8382 digital
audio processor meets all requirements of the
various mono, stereo and dual-language systems in
use around the world.

The 8382 controls program dynamics to maintain a
comfortable range for the typical home viewer, and,
using its built-in CBS Loudness Controller™,
it tames subjective loudness to prevent
commercials from becoming overly obtrusive.

OPTIMOD-TV 8382 is fully compatible with all
monaural and stereo broadcast systems using preemphasis: BTSC, NICAM, EIAJ and IEC dual-carrier.
In addition to its usual stereo mode, it can be
operated in dual-mono mode to accommodate
dual-language programming and it can switch
between stereo and dual-mono modes without
mutes or interruptions in the program.

Both analog and AES3 digital inputs and
outputs are supplied standard.
The digital I/O can accept and emit sample
rates between 32 and 96 kHz and the output
sample rate can be synchronized to the 8382’s
internal clock, to its digital input, or to an
AES11 signal appearing at its sync input.
An internal stereo generator is not included;
the 8382 is well matched to BTSC stereo
generators from Orban (model 8185) and CRL
(model TVS-3003).

The 8382 is remote controllable via eight
programmable GPI ports, which can be used to
recall presets and change operating modes.
It is also equipped for remote control via
RS232 serial or Ethernet ports and it comes
with a full-featured remote control application
that runs on Windows 2000 or XP.

The 8382 features the ability to have its input
AES3 “channel mode” bits determine its
operating mode (stereo or dual-mono) and it
can send this information to downstream
equipment via the AES3 connection.

The 8382 can also be controlled via its built-in
clock-based automation, which can be
programmed to change presets and operating
modes at preset times.

The internal clock can automatically be set via
the Internet. It can also be reset to the hour
via GPI contact closure to ensure that it
remains accurately synchronized with the
facility’s master clock.

If you wish to place level
protection prior to your studio /
transmitter link (STL), use an
Orban studio level control system
expressly designed for this
purpose.
These are now OPTIMOD-PC 1100V2
(a PCI card that works in Windows XP computers) and
OPTIMOD 6300 (a stand-alone processor).
Either can be adjusted so that it substitutes for the broadband
AGC circuitry in OPTIMOD-TV, which is then defeated.
