DPM Manager Software
DPM Manager is used to configure and manage your DPM and to configure the network settings if required.
Your computer must meet the following minimum requirements:
1. Computer with Windows® 7, 8, or 10 OS (32 or 64 bit) or MAC OS 10.9.5 or higher
2. 4 GB of RAM or greater
3. Display resolution of at least 1024 x 768

Setup Overview

Initial configuration of the DPM is performed through QSC's DPM Manager software, which must be installed on a Windows® or MAC PC or laptop
computer. Once the software is installed on the computer, the computer can then be connected to the DPM using a USB or Ethernet connection.
A system designer would typically begin high-level configuration by defining the basic system topology and distribution of audio within the
DPM Manager application. This involves selecting the audio sources for the DPM program inputs, auditorium sound format, amplification, and speaker
design. Presets can be created to accommodate multiple audio sources or distribution topologies (i.e.., to support different configurations for the main
theatre presentation and for alternative content/non-sync audio) and/or to support multiple auditorium mixes or multi-use applications.
Once the high-level configuration is complete, the rest of system can be connected to the DPM and/or powered up and completion of the DSP
configuration, assignment of levels, and other system tuning can commence.
