TRS Mirrors
The TRS OUT 1 and 2 jacks on the back panel of
HD OMNI can mirror the analog signal output
of channels 1–2 or 7–8. Select the appropriate
option depending on your monitoring configu-
ration:
Analog 1–2 Select this option if you want to
monitor analog output channels 1–2 though
TRS OUT 1 and 2.
Analog 7–8 Select this option if you want to
monitor analog output channels 7–8 through
TRS OUT 1 and 2.
None Select this option if you do not intend to
use TRS OUT 1 and 2 for monitoring.
Monitor
The Monitor page of the Hardware Setup dialog
is a virtual patchbay where you can define
which physical outputs are used for the MAIN
and ALT monitoring paths. You can assign ded-
icated monitoring paths to any of the available
Analog 1–8, AES/EBU 1–8, or stereo digital out-
puts.
Changes to the Monitor page are reflected in the
Output options on the Main page in the Hard-
ware Setup dialog, the Output and Bus pages of
the I/O Setup dialog, and in the Output path
names for tracks in your Pro Tools session. Be-
cause of this, you should always configure the
Monitor page first, before configuring the other
pages of the Hardware Setup and the I/O Setup.
MAIN and ALT Control Room Paths
HD OMNI provides two possible Control Room
monitoring paths (
CR Path ): MAIN and ALT.
Each of these monitoring paths can be set to
None (not used), or to channel formats ranging
from Mono to 7.1.
When configuring MAIN and ALT Control
Room monitoring paths, the path with the wid-
est channel format determines the channel for-
mat of the “Monitor” Output path that appears
both in the Output page of the I/O Setup and in
the Main page of the Hardware Setup. All Out-
put paths used by the Control Room monitoring
path (MAIN and ALT) are otherwise unavailable.
From Pro Tools, track outputs that are routed to
“Monitor” will play out either the MAIN Con-
trol Room path or the ALT Control Room path
depending on the state of the ALT button on the
front panel of HD OMNI. The MAIN Control
Room path is used for monitoring when the ALT
button is disengaged on the front panel of HD
OMNI (the LED is
not lit). The ALT Control
Room Path is used for monitoring when the ALT
button is engaged on the front panel of HD
OMNI (the LED
is lit).

With HD OMNI, Delay Compensation is
not supported on assigned Monitor outputs.
Delay Compensation is only supported on
physical outputs not assigned to a Monitor
path.
