HD OMNI optical inputs
The HD OMNI has 2 optical inputs on the back.
I have the TV plugged into one. I have the computer plugged into the other. The TV works. The computer doesn't. When I swap the cables, the computer works, and the TV doesn't. Is there something I'm missing, or does this sound like a broken input? Also, on the front of the OMNI, I'll select "IN" on the meters. 5-6-7-8 all seem to have the same input. I was hoping that one of the optical inputs would play through 5-6, and the other would play through 7-8. But it looks like only 1 of the 2 inputs is working, and it outputs to 4 channels. Any tips on routing this thing? |

Re: HD OMNI optical inputs
Right in the manual:
Quote:
You only get 8 channels with ADAT. In S/MUX 2 or 4, the second ADAT is used. But you aren't using ADAT protocol in the first place.

Re: HD OMNI optical inputs
Yeah I saw that part of the manual but its no help.
When I plug the TV into the left port, it works (while the other port is empty). When I plug the TV into the right port, it doesn't (again, while the other port is empty). Ideally, the TV (or any compatible source) would work in either port. And ideally, I would have 2 sources, one in each port. The more I think about it, the more im convinced that I have a busted port. I just hate to admit it. |

Re: HD OMNI optical inputs
I've not used the Omni but for both ports to be usable, there would have to be 2 stereo S/PDIF paths configurable in the hardware setup. If there's only 1, then only 1 port is usable and the manual is unclear.

The lack of clarity is "either" in the manual but it should actually only be port 1.

Re: HD OMNI optical inputs
In addition to other comments, are you aware that the OMNI can only USE 8 IO at a time?

Re: HD OMNI optical inputs
Here's a pic of my Hardware Setup.
And here's what's happening: left port (while the right port is empty): - I plug in the TV. It works. - I plug in the computer. It works. (In both of these situations, on my VU meter, channels 5-6-7-8 are working when "IN" is selected). right port (while the left port is empty): - I plug in the TV. It does not work. - I plug in the computer. It does not work. (In both of these situations, on my VU meter, channels 5-6-7-8 are NOT working when "IN" is selected). |

In your picture, you have the same input selected for channels 5-6 and 7-8. If there’s a 2nd S/PDIF available, it has to be selected in one of the input pairs.
