Input/Output
This submenu provides level adjustments for the audio inputs and the absolute peak operating level of the Analog
XLR, Composite MPX
(FM Style Only)
, AES-
3 (AES/EBU) and Livewire outputs. Choices governing the selection
of the input audio source (Analog, AES Digital or Livewire) and signal mode (Stereo or Mono) are also found
here.
There is also a setting to disable Livewire if needed.
These I/O settings are generally “set once and forget” parameters, usually adjusted during initial installation and
then left alone. These I/O settings are not saved with a processing preset but can be saved, loaded, deleted or
renamed as “I/O Configu
rations” using options available in this submenu.
Mtr Select (Meter Select)
Selects whether the
Input
levels,
Analog Out
(analog output)
levels,
AES Out
(AES/EBU output)
levels or
LW
Out
(Livewire output)
levels are displayed on the front panel L & R (L
eft & Right channel) LED bargraph meters.
Input
There are eleven controls under the heading “Input” and each will be explained in the order in which they
appear in the menu:

Input Src (
Input Source)
Allows the selection of
Analog
,
AES/EBU
(digital) or
Livewire
as the primary input source to the
Omnia ONE.
Fover Time (Failover Time)
Failover Time is a feature that when set to a value other than zero (disabled) allows the
Omnia
ONE to a
utomatically select another input source if the currently selected one fails. Failover Time
is the amount of time that will elapse after the failure of audio on the primary input source before
the unit makes the decision to switch to the secondary (failove
r) input source. For instance, if
Failover Time is set for 5 seconds and the primary audio source fails, 5 seconds later the unit will
switch to the secondary audio input if that input is active. If, at any time, audio is restored on the
primary input (for
1 second, continuously), the unit will switch back to the primary audio input. It
will remain with the primary input unless another failure is detected.
Fover Src (Failover Source)
Failover Source selects which audio input:
Analog
,
AES/EBU
(digital) or
Livewire
will serve as
the secondary audio input. Note that the audio input that is selected under Input Source (above)
will always be the Primary audio input. A source selected under Failover Source will always be
the secondary source.
