Understanding The User Interface And Display; Navigation Modes - Omnia .9 Installation & User Manual

HOME SCREEN & USER INTERFACE
The Lock Front Panel option allows you to lock the front panel if you have enabled password protection. When you lock
♦
the screen, all of the display windows will remain visible in the top portion of the display and the bottom portion will
change to accept your password via the on-screen keyboard. Depending upon how you have re-sized the various portions
of the screen,
Displays may appear smaller when the unit is locked to ensure sufficient space is reserved for the on-screen keyboard.
¸
Tree Navigation versus Tabbed Navigation determines how many controls are visible at one time, with Tabbed
¸
Navigation displaying more menu choices, but at the cost of having a busier screen.
Lock Position is great on a big touch screen, so the window doesn't get nudged out of place accidentally.
¸
The Re-init Display menu item (on the Omnia.9 front panel, not present on NfRemote) will reset the front panel
¸
display. In normal operation it is highly unlikely that you would ever need to do so unless otherwise instructed by our
support team when diagnosing an issue related to the display.
The menu items of Small Fonts, Medium Fonts, and Large Fonts do what you'd expect. Select whatever you find most
¸
comfortable.
The Restore menu item restores the window to normal, movable size when maximized or full-screen.
¸
The Display Preset buttons, to the right of the Menu button, numbered 1 – 6, let you create and save six separate Home
♦
screens. For example, you may wish to devote one display preset to nothing but the Undo and Processing Meters to
display these parameters in greater detail. Or, you could devote an entire display preset to the oscilloscope and monitor
the program input, the output of Undo, the MPX before the clipper, and the final MPX output to see what the various
stages within Omnia.9 are doing to the audio signal. These display preset buttons allow you to customize your display, so
you can quickly go from one custom screen to another.
You can also zoom into any display and make it cover the entire screen, by first tapping on it to both highlight it and go to its
display settings page, and then double-tapping it. Tap again to restore the normal layout.

Understanding the User Interface and Display

Omnia.9's User Interface (UI) is set up in "tiers".
The first tier always contains the highest level (most general) menu options in the form of buttons. When selected, these
buttons take you to a second tier of menu options, which are also buttons, but of a more specific nature. The third tier is made
up of Omnia.9's controls. Some pages have subpages, which form a fourth tier. (Example: System - I/O Options - FM Options
has sub pages such as Main, MPX and Insert. This could be considered a fourth tier, and you choose which tier four page to view
by clicking on a the page selection button to the left of the controls, down in the page area.

Navigation Modes

There are two navigation modes: Tree and Tabbed. The default mode is "Tree." Both modes give you access to the same number
of controls; the terms refer only to the way those controls are displayed and laid out. This choice is made under the Menu
button in the upper right portion of the screen
The Tree mode shows fewer controls at once and has a cleaner, less cluttered look, especially on the front panel display.
However, it requires more steps to navigate through the menu system.
The Tabbed mode shows all tiers and available controls for selected menu sections at once. This provides more direct access to
items located deeper in the menu structure but may be visually more intimidating to inexperienced users. It works especially
well when connected via NfRemote control where you have more screen real estate to work with.
