This tells the processor to set the Left Input level to 0.0dB. “syspara 3” says to edit the Input Left setting. The
“91” says to select 0.0dB. Finally, type in:
syspara 4 91 <enter>
This tells the processor to set the right input level to 0.0dB. “syspara 4” says to edit the Input Right setting.
The “91” says to select 0.0dB.
When you are finished, the contents of the Trigger HIGH Command Script box should look like:
syspara 1 1
syspara 3 91
syspara 4 91
These six commands are now a completed script for Trigger 1. To test the scripts, click the Test button above
each edit box. If no errors or other displays are shown, then your script is ready to be used or saved. An error
indication typically indicates you have a “typo” in one of your command lines. Verify the command is correct
and that the index numbers for the parameters or parameter values are correct.
In order to use the scripts, they must be loaded into the Omnia-3. This is done by clicking Apply. Your new
scripts then replace previously entered scripts in the Omnia-3’s memory. To save the edited Script Editor scripts
to the PC Card, click Save to Card. To recall previously edited scripts, click Load From Card. These can then be
sent to the Omnia-3 by clicking Apply.
To actually use the scripts you have just written requires that a sustained relay or a switch be connected between
trigger input 1 (pin 1) and ground (pin 5) on the Interface connector on the processor's back panel. Setting the
relay or switch on (shorting pins 1 and 5 together), then causes the Omnia-3 to follow the script for go low (the
unit switches to AES/EBU and reduced input gain). Opening the switch or relay will then cause the processor to
follow the go high script (the unit switches to Analog and normal input gain).
Multiple operations, including ones that are vastly more complicated than what we have presented here, such as
simultaneously changing to different presets when changing inputs, can be completed at the flip of any one of
the eight switches or relays connected to the Omnia-3. And the eight relays or switches do not have to be
switched locally: Commands can even be initiated by a network satellite when a receiver with contact closures
is being used.
