Unmuting the OMNI remotely?
Every time I power cycle my OMNI (like when I shut down the studio at night), the OMNI turns on the MUTE button to the main (and alt) outputs. It wasn't always like this; something changed around the transition to PT12. Since my interface is in the machine room and the power is controlled remotely, it makes it so that I have to walk into the machine room and press this damn mute button every morning. I know I can use the exercise, but it's a PITA. Does anyone know if there's a way to trick it into not doing this? Stick some gum in the button or prop a broomstick up into it? The unit has an RS-422 input but not a single word about its use in the manual (strange). You'd think hardware that required constant interaction would be controllable via software or directly in Protools.

Re: Unmuting the OMNI remotely?
Since the OMNI is really designed to be close at hand, my solution would be to replace it with an HD IO. Having said that, I agree with you and I might explore opening the unit and modding it to have a remote contact closure for the MUTE button, But replacing it gives you other benefits(more IO) and would solve the issue

Unmuting the OMNI remotely?
You know what, a remote for that unit would be killer. Probably won't happen at this point, but it would be killer. Volume control and mutes and aux monitor speaker switch
I would start a support case and ask avid about it....

Re: Unmuting the OMNI remotely?
It did for me for years with 002 and 003
On my current rig(HD/Native with HD and 192 IO's) its a non-issue

I bet asking for a time machine and go back to PT 8.1.1 HD would be a better bet

Unmuting the OMNI remotely?
Sorry the suggestion to contact Avid was to ask them about the RS- Serial communications....and the possibly of controlling that unit via that protocol.
I agree it's a waste of time to ask Avid about a Avid branded Remote Control Hardware unit for it at this time.
