'Streaming has just become profitable', said Rusty Hodges of netcaster SomaFM after first hearing the aacPlus codec at 32 kbps. Many listeners prefer the audio quality of 48 kbps streams to FM and other codecs. At 32 kbps, Opticodec streams offer close to FM quality, without the phasey, watery character of other popular codecs operating at this bit rate. Stations encoded with Opticodec can be experienced through the new RealPlayerВ® 10 or Winamp 5.08 and on a growing number of WAP enabled cell phones.Д¬ompared to MP3, Opticodec's aacPlus codec provides a better than 60% improvement in audio quality versus bit rate, reducing network streaming bandwidth requirements and costs accordingly.

The software lets streaming providers supply content encoded with the Coding TechnologiesВ® AAC / HE AAC / aacPlus codec, widely acknowledged as offering the highest available audio quality at the lowest possible bit rate. Opticodec offers the most important feature that the basic netcaster is looking for in an encoding product entertainment-quality sound at economical bit-rates. Clients include many high profile streaming content providers all over the world.Opticodec-PC is the first MPEG-4 AAC/aacPlus encoding software for high quality streaming audio. A standard web server or cloud storage may be used for streaming delivery, dramatically improving performance and economics. This includes HLSdirect(tm) and DASHdirect(tm) whereby streaming servers are no longer needed to deliver live streams.

In 2015, Ogonowski left Orban to concentrate on new streaming technologies providing professional high quality streaming encoder software and systems under the StreamS brand and Modulation Index, LLC. Continuing with the same goal, he also created a high quality HE-AAC streaming player, supporting standards-based protocols, StreamS HiFi Radio App. Destined to change the way Internet streaming audio is perceived and consumed, he was the architect of the first commercial high quality file and streaming audio encoder using standards-based MPEG-4 AAC/HE-AAC, Orban Opticodec-PC. This was the first economical professional audio processor to become available. Ogonowski joined Orban in 2000 as VP Product Development and led the team that created Optimod-PC, a digital audio signal processed PCI sound card for any digital audio or streaming application. KBIG/KLAC was one of the first radio stations to stream audio on the Internet with high fidelity sound, all from internal encoders and servers. Later becoming technical director for KBIG/KLAC, Los Angeles, from 1998 to 2000, he installed a new computer network and digital audio delivery system throughout the business and technical facility. As technical director for KTNQ/KLVE, Heftel Broadcasting, Los Angeles, from 1985 to 1991, he relocated studio facilities and constructed a new efficient alternative use AM transmission facility. He has developed audio signal processing algorithms which later became included in all of the current generation Orban Optimod line of audio processors. A technical paper was presented before the National Association of Broadcasters regarding these findings. As a result, he developed modifications for popular monitors, STL'S, and exciters to improve their dynamic transient accuracy and competitiveness. In 1984 he founded Modulation Index, a broadcast engineering consultancy, and has done studies on broadcast modulation measurement instrumentation and FM modulators, including STL's and exciters. He has researched the characteristics of consumer radio receivers, and co-authored a technical paper with Robert Orban, presented before the Society of Automotive Engineers and National Association of Broadcasters regarding the standardization of pre-emphasis in AM broadcast. Primary Affiliation: StreamS/Modulation Index, LLC - Diamond Bar, CA, USAДЄES Member Type: Associate In 1975 he founded Gregg Laboratories, a broadcast audio signal processing company, whose systems have been used by many high profile broadcasters.
