Avid HD OMNI Preamp, I/O, and Monitoring Pro Tools HD Series Interface - Manual (Page 41)

Chapter 4: Configuring HD OMNI in Pro Tools 37
Mixer
The Mixer page of the Hardware Setup dialog
lets you configure HD OMNI to mix the signals
coming from HD OMNI physical inputs to the
current active Monitor paths (direct monitor-
ing). This way you monitor any incoming signal
whether or not it is routed through the
Pro Tools mixer.
For example, you can configure the Mixer so
that you can listen to a connected CD player
through your studio monitors, without having
to route it through a Pro Tools session.
Mixer Channel Strips
The Mixer channel strips are grouped in pairs of
physical outputs: Analog 1–2, Analog 3–4,
AES/EBU, ADAT 1–2, and so on. Each channel
strip provides the same controls.
Input Name Identifies the physical inputs. Any
physical Inputs that are assigned to Input chan-
nels 1–8 on the Main page of the Hardware
Setup appear
bold . Inactive channels appear in
italics .
Pan Control Pans the mono input signal in the
stereo monitoring field. When the Monitor Path
Channel format is greater-than-stereo (such as
5.1), the incoming signal is only panned be-
tween the Left and Right channels of the Moni-
tor Path. When the Monitor Path Channel for-
mat is set to mono, stereo panning is
automatically summed to mono.
Hardware Setup, Mixer tab
When you configure the Mixer settings in
the Hardware Setup, the Mixer settings are
stored on HD OMNI. This lets you use HD
OMNI as a pre-configured standalone con-
verter when Pro Tools is not running.
