Physical Installation:
The Omnia.11 is a large unit so it would be advisable to have the help of an
assistant when installing it in the rack. Find the release pin located on the
inside top of each handle. Slide and hold this outwards and then pull the handle
towards you until you hear a click. Make sure each handle is securely locked into
place. Using the handles, install the Omnia.11 in the equipment rack using all
four rack screws. Once secured to the rack, slide the release pin toward you and
fold the rack handles back to their normal position.
1. Connect the audio inputs that are appropriate for your installation. The
Omnia.11 accepts balanced professional line-level analog audio or AES/EBU
digital audio on standard XLR connectors. If you have an existing Livewire
system, the single Livewire Ethernet connection is all that is needed for
audio I/O (except for the composite MPX outputs).
Please note that the two Ethernet jacks are ports on the same internal switch
so they both have the same functionality. Either can be used for remote
control and Livewire. IMPORTANT NOTE: Be sure that Livewire is disabled
in the Setup menu (see Step 4 below) if you are not installing the Omnia in
a Livewire system.
2. Connect the outputs that are appropriate for your installation. NOTE: A
direct composite MPX connection (BNC analog or Omnia Direct AES
composite digital if your exciter or STL supports it) between the Omnia
and the FM exciter at the transmitter site is always best! This will allow
taking full advantage of the Omnia’s superior built-in stereo generator and
ensure the best possible overshoot performance and sound quality.)
If you will be using conventional AES/EBU L/R digital audio to feed your
STL or FM exciter, be sure any pre-emphasis and limiters (if present) are
fully defeated in the exciter. The Omnia must be the only device providing
the pre-emphasis so its own de-emphasis on the AES/EBU output being
used must also be “Off”. Also note that if the STL uses a codec (is not lin-
ear), the Omnia must be located at the transmitter site for best performance
and sound quality. Please contact Omnia Support if you have any questions.
3. Be sure there is nothing plugged into the rear panel Ethernet jacks at this
point and connect AC power to the unit (there is no power switch!). You
will see lines of text as the unit boots up, followed by the main GUI touch
screen interface as shown below.
