Omnia Audio Omnia.9/XE - Manual (Page 86)

• The Connection Type dropdown menu determines whether the connection is Outbound
(NfRemote initiates connection to Omnia.9/XE) or Inbound (Omnia.9/XE listens for an incoming
connection request from an instance of NfRemote). Note that the IP addresses of inbound
connections are enclosed by chevrons.
• It is possible to stream audio from the Omnia.9/XE host PC to a remote PC using NfRemote. The
Audio Streaming dropdown menu enables this feature and determines the type of data
compression used to deliver the audio as well as the oscilloscope, RTA, and FFT display
information.
• Automatic chooses the best audio format based upon connection speed.
• Off completely disables audio streaming and the client-side oscilloscope, RTA, and FFT
displays.
• Force Lossy enables lossy streaming even on connections that are on the border of being too
slow and forces lossy streaming even on fast connections.
• Force Lossless enables lossless streaming even on connections that are too slow. This choice
is best reserved for local networks with sufficient bandwidth to support it.
• Clicking on the Connect button will initiate a connection to Omnia.9/XE whose IP address is
currently displayed.
• The Clear button removes all information from the Comment, IP Address, and Password fields.
• The Add button carries the current Comment, IP Address, and Password information and carries it
to the bottom of the window where it is saved for easy recall later.
• The Update button refreshes the list of saved connections.
• Clicking on the Delete button will remove the selected connection from the list.
• The Move Up and Move Down buttons will move the selected connection up or down respectively
in the list so that you can sort them in any order.
• The User Interface Pointing Device dropdown menu offers several choices for optimizing
NfRemote depending upon the type of device you are using.
• Local Mouse or Touchpad should be selected if you are running NfRemote on a local PC or
laptop.
• Virtual Machine or Remote Desktop is the correct choice if you are connecting to the
computer running NfRemote from another computer. This includes software like Parallels,
VMware, Team Viewer, GoToMyPC, Remote Desktop Connection, or a VNC client. Wacom
Digitizer users should also selection this option.
• Local Mouse (Touch Simulation) allows you to use the finger-friendly layout of the Touch
Screen option but with a mouse. It can also be used instead of the Virtual Machine or Remote
Desktop option.
• Touch Screen provides a finger-friendly layout optimized for touch screen devices like tablets
or all-in-one PC’s with a touch interface.
