BSS unveils Omni 600, 300 and 200 Series

Marking the introduction of video capabilities within the BSS Soundweb Omni platform, BSS has added three scalable families of networked AV solutions. Engineered to address specific application requirements, from low-latency video to bandwidth-efficient streaming and network-routable USB connectivity, the Omni 600, 300 and 200 Series currently make up the Omni Networked AV portfolio. All products are configured, managed and monitored through Harman’s AVX Suite software platform.

Supporting 4K60 4:4:4 video, audio, control and USB 2.0 over Gigabit Ethernet, the Omni 600 Series delivers AV-over-IP in performance-critical applications. Featuring Motion Wavelet Compression, the series preserves image quality for fast‑motion video and detailed visual content with ultra‑low end‑to‑end latency. Virtual Network USB 2.0 Hub technology enables a single USB host to connect to devices at up to four remote Omni 600 or 200 endpoints. Native support for Dante AV‑A and Dante audio, together with seamless switching, videowall processing, an open control API and enterprise‑grade security, the series provides flexible system design, professional-quality AV presentations and third‑party integration.

Designed for bandwidth-efficient AV distribution over shared LANs or WANs, the Omni 300 Series uses H.264 or H.265 compression, and streams 4K60 4:4:4 video while simultaneously generating a secondary 1080p H.264 or H.265 video stream for third-party platforms. USB-C connectivity on both the encoder and decoder supports USB video and audio for recording and collaboration workflows, with conversion between Dante audio and USB AV (UAC and UVC). With support for Dante AV‑H interoperability and centralised management through AVX Suite, the Omni 300 Series is suited for meeting spaces, hospitality venues, retail environments and hybrid classrooms.

Built around Virtual Network USB 2.0 Hub technology, the Omni 200 Series allows a PC to communicate with USB devices at up to four remote endpoints over standard Gigabit Ethernet, supporting data rates up to 480Mbps. Integrating with Omni 600 systems and supporting PoE+ powering, the Omni 200 Series provide 2-channel Dante audio input and output at the USB host endpoint to enable USB audio conversion (UAC) for conferencing and collaboration workflows.
