Internal Playback Menu - Omnia .9 Installation & User Manual

INPUTS 1/2/3 SOURCE AUDIO MENU

Internal Playback Menu

Omnia.9 provides the ability to play audio files you provide from within the unit itself for each input.
♦
Selecting the Internal Playback button will start audio playback from Omnia.9's internal library of songs or other
♦
content.
WARNING:
This will interrupt the program audio being fed to the selected input!
The internal player is not an automation system, but it can randomize music and guarantees not to repeat a song within twenty
songs (provided you have more than 20 songs in the folder). Beyond its value as a temporary backup source, the internal player
is also handy if you are doing work in the studio and need to temporarily interrupt the normal audio input path. Or, provided
Omnia.9 is located at the transmitter site, it can also play out music if you need to work on the STL.
The internal player will not crossfade, but will automatically cut any silence at the beginning and end of each track and thus
provide tight back-to-back playback. Station IDs may be optionally inserted between songs.
Music is uploaded to the internal SSD drive by connecting to Omnia.9's built-in FTP server on port 7321 (passive ports
♦
7322-7331). The default user name is either anonymous or "Omnia". There is no password, as access is controlled by the
HTTP Access White List (found in the System > System Configuration > HTTP Access menu).
The internal drive can hold roughly 15GB of music in MP2, MP3, FLAC, or WAV (PCM only) formats. The FTP server will
refuse any file that is not a supported type.
Note that although the internal player overrides the program input, you can still hear and see the physical input through any of
the Monitor Outputs (including Client Audio on a remote connection) by selecting one of the Physical Input patch points.
Each root folder will be directly available in the Folder drop-down menu and will automatically receive a "Station IDs" folder
where you can place station IDs or jingles. The Gain control sets the output level of the internal audio player.
The Previous and Next buttons allow you to play the next or last song, respectively.
The Mode Selector dropdown menu has several options for file playback. "Randomize Folder", as mentioned above, will
select and play songs at random guaranteeing not to repeat a song within twenty songs (provided you have more than 20
songs in the folder. It will play continuously. "File" simply plays one cut until it is over and then stops. "Folder" plays the entire
contents of the folder and stops. "Repeat File" and "Repeat Folder" allow you to repeat either a single cut or an individual folder
respectively.
