MONITOR OUTPUT MENU
Patch Points Menu
The Patch Point menu lets you choose which of Omnia.7’s processing cores you wish to monitor in the Speaker
and Headphone outputs, and, more specifically, which point within that core you want to hear. The patch point
currently being monitored appears in the corresponding volume control at the top of the screen.
In a typical radio station scenario, the Speaker Output might be used to feed the control room monitors and the
Headphone Output might be used to feed talent headphones. Each situation and application will be different, and
the choice of how to utilize the monitor outputs is up to you.
One important feature to understand well is the Follow control, which is set to “Off” by default. When Follow
is enabled in a particular user interface on a particular Monitor Output, the patch point (source audio) of that
Monitor Output will conveniently “follow” along with you as you navigate to different processing cores in that user
interface. Keep in mind that anyone else listening to that same Monitor Output will also be affected. The On/Off
status of Follow is independently associated with each remote connection (or the front panel).
AM Processing Patch Points
There are several categories of patch points from which to choose, including
I/O, Undo, Miscellaneous, MPX
Decoded, Physical Inputs, Sidechains,
and
Multiband.
The
Studio
and
HD
processors have the same or similar
options.
♦
The
I/O
category lets you listen to Program Input, Loudness Matched A/B, MPX Output, and L/R Output
of the AM processing core.
♦
The
Undo
category lets you hear audio either before or after the de-clipper, or after the multiband
expander.
♦
The
Miscellaneous
menu lets you listen to the audio after Input Filtering, after Multiband processing
(Pre Final), after the Bass Clipper, or as an MPX signal with injected noise.
♦
The
Physical Inputs
menu allows you to monitor the rear-panel Analog or AES inputs.
♦
The
Sidechains
menu allows you to monitor the audio passing through the Input AGC, Wideband AGC 1,
and Wideband AGC 2 sidechains, as well as the actual output audio from each of those stages.
♦
The
Multiband Solo
menu allows you to individually monitor the audio in each band of the multiband
AGC.
