Emulate Mode Vs. Live Mode - Extron electronics DTP CrossPoint 108 4K User Manual

Emulate mode vs. Live mode

The DSP Configurator program always starts in Emulate mode. In Emulate mode, you can
perform all of the functions available in the DSP Configurator program, without connecting
a switcher to the computer, and save all of the ties and settings to a configuration file on
your PC. When you open the file via the DSP Configurator program, the program restores
all ties and settings as the current configuration (emulated if in Emulate mode or live, in the
switcher, if in LIve mode) and makes presets saved in the file available for recall.
Synchronizing: pull vs. push
When you switch to Live mode, after opening the program in Emulate mode, you need to
synchronize the switcher and the DSP Configurator program. You are given the opportunity
to either:
Pull data from the switcher and update the configuration of the DSP Configurator
•
program.
Push data from the DSP Configurator program to the switcher, overwriting ties, settings,
•
and presets in the switcher.
You can also switch to Live mode and then tailor the audio settings in real time, while
listening to the audio output with a critical ear.
