The Omnia 6 User Interface
Now that your Omnia-6fm 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-6fm processor.
A front panel jog-wheel with integral push switch and twin Active-Matrix Color LCDs make up the
Omnia-6fm Graphical User Interface. The right-hand screen is the “Menu Display”, and it shows the
menus, submenus and user-adjustable parameter settings. Also at the top of this screen is the world-
renowned Dorrough

Loudness Meter, as implemented in Omnia DSP code. The left-hand screen serves as
the “Meter Display”. It shows bargraph indications for the AGC and Limiter stages, as well as VU and
'digital sample accurate' peak indications of the Input and Output Levels.

The functions of the Menu Display can be selectively password protected from unauthorized processing or
preset changes. The Meter Display dynamically indicates real-time signal processing activity, as well as the
Input/Output levels. The back lights for the two displays are automatically turned off after a user set period
of jog wheel inactivity, and the factory default timeout is 15 minutes. User options of 1, 5, 15 and 60
minutes turn-off times can be customized under the System submenu.
