NAB 2025: Telos Alliance to unveil new features for Omnia Forza FM and Forza HDS

Telos Alliance will demonstrate several new features in its Omnia Forza FM and Forza HDS processors at NAB this year.

The upcoming V2.2 software update for Forza FM and the V1.4 update for Forza HDS will introduce several new features and capabilities to the newest members of the Omnia processing family.

Sonically, both Forza FM – designed for FM/HD-1 signals – and Forza HDS – optimised for HD, DAB and streaming audio applications – will benefit from the addition of a stereo enhancer, providing stations with an additional tool for creating their own customized on-air sound.

Additionally, Nielsen PPM encoding joins Kantar watermarking as an option via license key in both Forza FM and Forza HDS.

Finally, the V2.2 update for Forza FM will enable a comprehensive built-in RDS system as a standard feature.

“One of the most significant advantages of software-based products like Omnia Forza is the ability to regularly make improvements and add features,” said Geoff Steadman, Telos Alliance product manager for Omnia and 25-Seven. “These features have been on the Forza product roadmap since its introduction, and we are pleased to be able to offer them to our current and future Forza customers.”

Both Forza FM V2.2 and Forza HDS V1.4 are expected to be available in Q2 2025.
