OPTIMOD-FM DIGITAL
INTRODUCTION
1-5
Controllable
The 8300
can be remote-controlled
by 5-12V pulses applied to eight pro-
grammable, optically isolated “general-purpose interface” (GPI) ports.
8300
PC Remote software
is a highly graphical application that runs under
Windows 2000 and XP. It communicates with a given 8300
via TCP/IP
over
mo-
dem, direct serial,
and
Ethernet
connections. You can configure PC Remote to
switch between many 8300s via a convenient organizer that supports giving any
8300 an alias and grouping multiple 8300s into folders. Clicking an 8300’s icon
causes PC Remote to connect to that 8300 through an Ethernet network, or ini-
tiates a Windows Dial-Up or Direct Cable Connection if appropriate. The PC Re-
mote software allows the user to access all 8300 features (including advanced
controls not available from the 8300’s front panel), and allows the user to ar-
chive and restore presets, automation lists, and system setups (containing I/O
levels, digital word lengths, GPI functional assignments, etc.).
OPTIMOD-FM contains a versatile
real-time clock
, which allows automation of
various events (including recalling presets) at pre-programmed times. The clock
can be set automatically from an Internet timeserver.
A Bypass Test Mode can be invoked locally, by remote control (from either the
8300’s GPI port or the 8300 PC Remote application), or by automation to permit
broadcast system
test and alignment
or “proof of performance” tests.
OPTIMOD-FM contains a built-in
line-up tone generator
, facilitating quick and
accurate level setting in any system.
OPTIMOD-FM's
software can be
upgraded
by running Orban-supplied
downloadable upgrade software on a PC. The upgrade can occur remotely
through the 8300’s Ethernet port or serial port (connected to an external mo-
dem), or locally (by connecting a Windows® computer to the 8300’s serial port
through the supplied null modem cable).
Presets in OPTIMOD-FM
There are two distinct kinds of presets in OPTIMOD-FM:
factory presets
and
user
presets
.
Factory Presets
The Factory Presets are our “factory recommended settings” for various program
formats or types. The description indicates the processing structure and the type of
processing. Each Factory Preset on the Preset list is really a library of more than 20
separate presets, selected by navigating to
