Omnia Audio Omnia.9/XE - Manual (Page 14)

WDM Speaker Output
While most monitoring will probably be done remotely through the NfRemote client, the WDM Speaker
Output optionally provides a means for local monitoring. The speaker (monitor) output runs on a separate
clock with an asynchronous sample rate converter to prevent periodic audio glitches resulting from the
output being on a different clock than the input source.
Opening the Omnia.9/XE App
Launch the “Omnia9xe App” to start the Omnia.9/XE software in order to verify system performance from
several key hardware indicators.
• Examine the CPU Load meter on the top Menu Bar. The maximum safe reading is 70%.
• Select the Common menu, then System, then Audio I/O Status for each device to see the current
actual sample rate and the amount of block jitter. This value should be less than 40% with the
default settings. Adjusting buffer size as described above can result in values of under 10%.
Installing and Configuring the NfRemote Client Software
The Omnia.9/XE remote interface software, NfRemote, is a separate “client” software application that can
be installed on nearly any desktop, laptop, or tablet PC of reasonably modern vintage running on
Windows 2000, Windows XP, Vista, Windows 7 or Windows 8. A shortcut is included in the Installer file.
It is possible to configure Omnia.9/XE from the host computer, but this can only be accomplished when
the Omnia9xe Service is not running and your streams are not up and running live. The NfRemote client
