MEET BSS SOUNDWEB OMNI
The New Standard in Open Architecture DSP
Building upon this legacy, BSS proudly introduces Soundweb OMNI, the next generation in open architecture DSP.
Featuring the most powerful processor ever from BSS, Soundweb OMNI caters to the diverse needs of hospitality, large venues, corporate, education and government installations. The Soundweb OMNI family combines enterprise-grade processors, flexible I/O expanders, Dante/ AES67 networked audio, an onboard scripting engine developed by AMX, and a vast library of processing objects, including media playback, AEC, VoIP, and more. The platform is seamlessly managed through AVX Architect and AVX Control, an all-new AVX Suite, built from the ground up to support the latest installed products from HARMAN Professional starting with BSS Soundweb OMNI, ushering in a new era of installed AV software at HARMAN.
Soundweb OMNI is designed to meet the specific requirements of AV system designers, integrators, and end users, while removing the pain points often found in traditional system design. It combines purpose-built hardware with intuitive software that offers the flexibility of centralised or distributed DSP, allowing system designers to choose the appropriate topology for any installation. BSS’ commitment to supporting control system programmers is reinforced through the introduction of HControl, a human-readable, standards-based, and developer-friendly API. Soundweb OMNI also supports both 48kHz and 96kHz processing, exemplifying BSS’ commitment to audio fidelity.
Built on decades of innovation, BSS Soundweb OMNI is a highly scalable and flexible DSP solution. Combining powerful hardware, intuitive software, and developer-friendly features, it effortlessly scales to meet the needs of any installed application.
Why BSS Soundweb OMNI?
Native DANTE/AES67
Adherence to industry standards greatly enhances interoperability with 3rd party devices.
Supports 24bit/96kHz audio processing
BSS OMNI is the only installed open architecture DSP platform that offers 24 bit/96kHz sampling for 512 channels of Dante/AES67. This high-resolution audio processing capability across a large number of channels allows for exceptional audio quality and flexible integration within modern networked audio environments.
No Additional licence fees
All Dante IO, Media, AEC and VOIP channels, U.I and scripting functionality are enabled out-of-the-box. No more to pay.
Simplified Control API
HControl, a human-readable, standards-based, and developer-friendly API for third-party control integration of Harman Professional products.
AMX MUSE built in
Enables scripting in the language of your programmer’s choice, with simultaneous support for Python, JavaScript, Groovy and Node-RED.
Long Product Lifecycle
In keeping with BSS tradition, Soundweb OMNI devices are purpose-built with a >10-year lifecycle and come with a 5-year warranty. This longevity provides greater return on investment and long-term stability for installed audio systems.
CONFIGURE. CONNECT. CONTROL.
OPEN ARCHITECTURE DIGITAL SIGNAL PROCESSORS
Most Powerful DSP
Soundweb OMNI represents the most powerful DSP available from BSS, with processing capability that surpasses previous BSS DSP products. The all-new engineering design ensures the seamless handling of today’s most complex installations and positions Soundweb OMNI to be future-ready to meet the evolving needs of tomorrow.
One Project, Infinite Devices
Choice of Centralised or Distributed DSP Topologies
Centralised and distributed DSP topologies each come with distinct advantages. Instead of dictating a topology, Soundweb OMNI supports both, allowing system designers the freedom to choose the topology that best aligns with the specific requirements of each project.
System integrators can add as many Soundweb OMNI processors and expanders to a single project file as needed, while still enjoying the simplicity of a single canvas for device configuration. Regardless of DSP topology or device count, AVX Architect software provides a centralised workspace, streamlining the process of constructing, maintaining, and troubleshooting even the most complex DSP designs.
Dante Spoken Here
Modernised 3rd Party Control API
Soundweb OMNI devices leverage HARMAN’s new HControl protocol, a human-readable, standards-based, developer-friendly API. This intuitive, flexible, and powerful alternative to other protocols positions it as the preferred choice for developers working at any scale.
Audinate’s Dante audio networking is the world’s most universally adopted networked audio technology, used extensively for commercial installations, live performances, recording and production, and more. Soundweb OMNI ships with its full Dante channel count capability, up to 512x512 to ensure immediate, seamless compatibility with the complete Dante ecosystem.
Private and Public Routing for Dante
For native AVX Suite devices such as Soundweb OMNI, integrators can easily create private routes for Dante streams simply by drawing wires between processing objects allocated across devices. This streamlines the device configuration process by allowing AVX Architect to build and protect Dante routes, without the need for external Dante Controller software. This also visually simplifies the layout of otherwise complex DSP designs. For interfacing non-native AVX Suite devices, the standard “public” workflow for routing Dante ensures full compatibility with the entire Dante ecosystem.
AEC and VoIP Equipped
128-Channel Internal Media Player
Soundweb OMNI 512p and 256p processors are equipped with a robust 128-channel internal media player, facilitating the playback of pre-recorded audio files directly from an internal 1TB or 500GB SSD. This is useful for announcements, paging chimes, advertisements, background soundscapes, and more.
Supporting up to 160 AEC channels and 64 VoIP lines, Soundweb OMNI processors provide seamless integration capability with building phone systems to ensure efficient and reliable communication.
Multi O/S Platforms
Full-Colour, Interactive Front Panel LCD Display
Every Soundweb OMNI I/O Expander includes a convenient full-colour, front panel, LCD display that enables the ability to access and view device status modes locally, including Home, Dante, HControl, Clock, and Alert modes. The Home splash screen is customisable as are a variety of status mode fields through the rotary navigation button.
AVX Control software is cross-compatible with a wide variety of operating systems, including Windows, Android, iOS, and AMX Varia touch panels, offering versatile options for a diverse user base.
Onboard AMX MUSE Technology
The same technology developed by AMX for the robust MUSE Automation Platform can run natively on Soundweb OMNI devices, inheriting the same protocol bridging and scripting capabilities as AMX MUSE devices. To simplify the upgrade path for existing BSS and Crown users, this technology allows previous generation BSS Soundweb Contrio EC wall controller devices to control new Soundweb OMNI devices, while also allowing new AVX Architect and AVX Control software to integrate previous generation BSS Soundweb London DSPs and Crown DCi amplifiers into a unified custom UI, directly alongside Soundweb OMNI. This technology also provides control system programmers with a sophisticated scripting toolkit for interfacing with third-party devices and APIs.
Award Winning
Soundweb OMNI won the ‘Best of Show’ award at InfoComm 2024, recognised by top publications: Sound and Video Contractor, Installation, and AV Technology. Expert reviewers noted its comprehensive features, ease of use and integration, and how innovative and unique it is within the market.
