Omnia Audio Omnia.9/XE - Manual (Page 89)

Patch Point Menu
The Patch Point Menu provides additional controls for enabling Client Audio and SRC, choosing an
Output Device, adjusting Client Volume, and setting the Audio Buffer. Various patch points from within the
Omnia.9/XE processing core for the selected station are available along with a Client Mic Input.
• When selected, the Audio Enable feature allows processed audio to from various patch points
within the Omnia.9/XE to be streamed directly to the client PC. Keep in mind that audio streams
require bandwidth, as does displaying patch points on the oscilloscope, FFT spectrum analyzer, or
RTA. During handshaking, the remote control software measures the available network bandwidth.
If you are on a local network, you will get PCM (NICAM) streaming. If you connect over the internet
with sufficient bandwidth, you will get data-reduced streaming.
• Enabling the SRC control lets the client software dynamically adjust the sample rate of the client
playback. If you are experiencing interruptions or dropouts to the client audio stream, enabling SRC
will result in a steadier connection, though at a slight cost to CPU usage. Regardless, the client
software will automatically determine whether to stream client audio in a linear (uncompressed)
PCM format or in a data-reduced format, which, while compressed, can still provide excellent audio
quality.
