AUDIO CONTROL
Once configured by your installer, from any OmniTouch touchscreen, you can control on/off, volume, muting, transports, Audio
Source (up to 8 Audio Sources), and many other functions for each of the Audio Zones (up to 36 Audio Zones) on your audio
distribution system. The touchscreen will emulate the keypad for the respective audio distribution system; although not all of the
features and commands for the audio distribution keypad may be accessible from the OmniTouch touchscreen interface.
To control the audio distribution system from an OmniTouch touchscreen, press the “Audio” icon on the Home page. By default,
the interface will emulate a keypad in Audio Zone 1 of the audio distribution system. The Audio Zone can be changed using the
“Zone” button on the touchscreen interface. Once the Audio Zone has been changed, it becomes the new default Audio Zone for
that OmniTouch touchscreen. If desired, each OmniTouch touchscreen can be configured to default to a different Audio Zone.
The top line on the display will show the Audio Zone name (e.g. Living Room), followed by: ON (the Audio Zone is currently
on), OFF (the Audio Zone is currently off), or MUTE (the Audio System is currently muted). Justified to the right of the display
on the top line is the current volume level for the Audio Zone, displayed as a percentage (0%-100%).
The second line on the display will show the Audio Source name (e.g. AM/FM TUNER), followed by applicable information for
the selected Audio Source (i.e. AM or FM Frequency, Station Name, Channel Number, Artist, Song Name, etc.).
Once completed, press the Exit icon to return to OmniTouch Home page.
Changing Audio Source
To select a new Audio Source for the current Audio Zone, press the “Source” button on the touchscreen interface. Select the
desired Audio Source from the Source list box. Once selected, you will be able to control the new Audio Source from the
touchscreen interface.
Changing Audio Zone
To select a new Audio Zone, press the “Zone” button on the touchscreen interface. Select the desired Audio Zone from the Zone
list box. Once selected, you will be able to control that Audio Zone from the touchscreen interface. The selected Audio Zone
will be the default for that OmniTouch touchscreen until a different Audio Zone is selected.
Configuring Source and Zone Names
The names that are displayed on the OmniTouch touchscreen interface for Audio Source and Audio Zone must be configured in
the OmniPro II controller. A name must be given to each Audio Source and Audio Zone to make it available in the respective list
box when changing the Audio Source or Audio Zone.
When your OmniPro II is configured to control an audio distribution system, certain unit numbers (currently flag units) are
allocated for Audio Source or Audio Zone names. This means that the allocated unit numbers may no longer be used as flag units
and they will no longer be displayed in the unit list.
Unit numbers 457-464 are allocated for the Audio Source names. These names should match the names of each Audio Source in
your audio distribution system. For example:
