The Home Menu
Omnia.9’s Home Menu is the highest level menu available in the user interface. From here, you can
configure and route Input source audio, access the Undo menus and controls, access the controls of
the various processing cores, configure the Monitor Outputs, and access system settings including
Input and Output options.
System Menu
The System Menu contains sub-­‐menus for System Status, I/O Options, Omnia.9’s built-­‐in File
Recorder, Time and Date settings, and System Configuration.
System Status Menu
The System Status menu is divided into two sections – System Information and Audio I/O Status.
The System Information portion shows information about Omnia.9’s operation, including CPU load,
Software and GUI version, and the Host Name, IP Address, and MAC address of your unit. The
Audio I/O Status section shows the current system sample rate as well as detailed information
about audio input and output configurations.
I/O Options Menu
The I/O Options menu has three sub-­‐menus – Input Options, Output Options, and MPX Output
Optionsthat allow you to decide which of Omnia.9’s physical inputs get routed to the three internal
audio inputs, and in turn, which of those three audio paths feed the various processing cores.
The Input Options menu is where you choose which physical rear panel input (Analog, Main
Digital, AES Reference, Aux Digital) feeds each of Omnia.9’s three audio input paths. You
may also select a secondary input source to be used in the event you lose audio from the
primary source.
Once those paths are established, you can choose which of those three inputs feed each of
the processing cores. Depending upon configuration, this includes FM, HD-­‐1, HD-­‐2, HD-­‐3,
three streams, and the Studio Processing core.
The Output Options menu provides AES/EBU audio output options including FM Pre-­‐
emphasized L/R, FM De-­‐emphasized L/R, HD-­‐1, HD-­‐2, HD-­‐3, Headphone Out, and Speaker
Out. (Note:
FM De-emphasized L/R is suitable for monitoring only. Feeding to a stereo
generator which provides pre-emphasis will work, but it WILL cause overshoots and you
WILL lose loudness. The Omnia.9 should be the ONLY device providing the FM Pre-
Emphasis. Any pre-emphasis in the FM Exciter/Transmitter should be defeated).
The MPX Output Options menu is where you will find the controls for the Omnia.9’s built-­‐in
MPX stereo generator, including those for the MPX1 and MPX2 Output Levels, output
routing options for the rear panel MPX1 and MPX2 inputs, the FM Diversity Delay control,
