The Omnia 4.5 User Interface
Now that your Omnia-4.5fm is rack-mounted, connected to a program audio source, and turned on, you’re
ready to learn how to operate it! This chapter covers the Graphical User Interface, your window into the
Omnia-4.5fm processor.
The User Interface
A front panel jog-wheel and Active-Matrix Color LCD make up the Omnia-4.5fm Graphical User
Interface. The screen acts as both the “Menu Display”, showing the menus, submenus and user-adjustable
parameter settings and as the “Meter Display”. It shows bargraph indications for the AGC and Limiter
stages, as well as VU and sample-accurate peak indications of the Input and Output Levels.
Meter Display Screen alternates with the Main Menu Screen on the same display
The Menu Display can be password protected from unauthorized processing or preset changes, while the
Meter Display dynamically indicates real-time signal processing activity. Simply pressing and holding the
jog wheel button for two seconds toggles between the two display modes. The display is automatically
turned off after a user set period of jog wheel inactivity, and the factory default timeout is 15 minutes. The
LCD display backlight turn-off time can be customized under the System submenu.
