OMNEO, Developed by Bosch, is a network protocol for real-time uncompressed digital audio distribution and control over industry-standard IP networks. OMNEO Or Dante audio Channels can be configured as inputs to a Praesideo system, where they can be routed permanently or conditionally to any of the zones or audio outputs. The routing conditions are configured using the configuration software. Calls and background music (BGM) sources can be routed to OMNEO or Dante Channels. Digital audio data is directly converted between an audio system and OMNEO, with no other audio processing than sample rate conversion. Control inputs and outputs are provided for external interfacing. The equipment can be used free-standing (tabletop) or in a 19" rack.
