Processor Blocks; Mic/Line Input Channel; Mic/Line (Input) Gain - Extron electronics DMP 64 User Manual

Processor Blocks

Processor blocks are placed in the signal chain to perform specific tasks. There are level
control blocks, signal processor blocks and mix-point matrix blocks (with level control).
Level control processors do not have to be inserted, they are always active. The following
sections provide details of navigation, menus, and other interface operation. The
processor blocks, while performing different functions, have several common elements.

Mic/Line Input Channel

There are six (6) mono mic/line input channels. Channel controls and processing blocks
described in the following sections are identical for each of the six inputs.

Mic/Line (Input) Gain

Mic/line inputs provide gain settings to accommodate
consumer and pro line level sources, plus microphone
level sources. Each input channel gain block provides
a mono long-throw fader for gain and attenuation.
Range for the control is −18 to +80 dB. Adjustments are
made using the slider or by entering the desired dB level
directly into the indicator box.
Clicking the fader handle or clicking within the fader
area brings focus to the fader. The input signal level can
be adjusted using any of the following methods:
•
•
•
Insert — All blocks (except level controls) may be inserted by right-clicking on the
desired box and selecting from the context menu or by double-clicking and making a
selection.
Remove a process — Active processors can be removed by right-clicking on the box
and selecting or by selecting the block and pressing delete on the keyboard.
Delete
This sets the parameters back to default and bypasses the block. An active processor
may be replaced by right-clicking and inserting a new processor. A warning will
appear to indicate the previous processor is about to be replaced.
Mute — When a level block (gain, trim or volume) is muted, all signal flow is blocked.
When mute is active a red mark appears in the lower left of the block. Mix-point
mute is indicated by shadowing the mix-point.
Bypass — When bypass is active signal flow passes through the block without
processing, regardless of the settings. When bypass is removed, the signal will be
processed according to the parameter settings. A red mark appears in the lower left
of the block (shown below) to indicate it has been inserted, but is currently bypassed.
Direct adjustment. Click and hold the fader handle,
then drag it to desired level in 0.1 dB steps.
Click or tab to fader handle, then up/down arrow
to desired level in 1 dB steps. Page Up/Page Down
increases/decreases level in 10 dB steps.
Click in or tab to the level readout field. Type a new value, then press <Enter> or
<Tab> to another area.
