Telos Alliance® has recently announced the immediate availability of its solution Omnia® Forza FM virtual audio processing software.

Debuted at the 2024 NAB Show, Forza FM represents the latest addition to the Omnia software lineup. Building upon the success of Forza HDS for HD, DAB, and streaming audio, Forza FM features optimized wideband and multiband processing tailored specifically for FM radio. It incorporates the renowned “Silvio” clipper designed by Frank Foti, the same clipper used in Omnia.11, feeding a stereo generator with dual µMPX outputs. Additionally, Forza FM includes processing capabilities for HD-1 with an integrated diversity delay.

Forza FM is delivered as a container suitable for deployment on an on-premises COTS server or cloud-hosted platforms like AWS. Alternatively, broadcasters can license up to two instances of Forza FM processing with µMPX on the Telos Alliance AP-3000 hardware platform.

The software maintains the user-friendly, single-page HTML5 UI introduced with Forza HDS, enhancing usability with “smart controls” that simplify adjustments across multiple parameters. This approach ensures that novice users can achieve exceptional on-air sound quality, while seasoned professionals retain the granular control necessary for fine-tuning audio processing.

Frank Foti, Omnia Founder and Chairman of the Board at Telos Alliance, expressed enthusiasm about the reception of Forza FM: “Since unveiling Omnia Forza FM in 2023 and formally introducing it just prior to the 2024 NAB Show, the excitement and positive feedback from the industry have been overwhelming. We are delighted to announce the availability of Forza FM for immediate shipment.”

Omnia Forza FM is now accessible through Telos Alliance’s global network of Omnia channel partners, ensuring broadcasters worldwide can enhance their FM radio operations with advanced audio processing capabilities.
