Emulate Mode Vs. Live Mode; Synchronizing: Pull Vs. Push - Extron electronics MVC 121 Plus User Manual

Emulate Mode vs. Live Mode

The DSP Configurator program has two operational modes: Live and Emulate. In live mode,
the program has established a connection and is synced with the MVC 121. Changes
affect the device in real-time and changes in the current state of the device are reflected in
the DSP Configurator. In contrast, emulate mode allows the user to work offline, creating or
editing configurations that do not immediately affect MVC 121 operation.
The DSP Configurator program always starts in Emulate mode. In emulate mode, the
program provides access to all functions of the MVC 121 without connecting to it. The user
can build a configuration from the blank screen, or open an existing file that contains the last
configuration displayed. Settings and adjustments are saved to a configuration file on the
PC. When the saved file is opened in the DSP Configurator program, the program restores
all settings as the current configuration (emulated if in Emulate mode or live if in Live mode).
Figure 47.
Live mode can be entered at any time after program launch, either with a blank
configuration, after creating a configuration, or after loading a previously saved configuration
file.

Synchronizing: Pull vs. Push

When switching to live mode after making changes to the current configuration in emulate
mode, either:
• Pull data from the device and update the DSP Configurator program configuration.
This option downloads device settings from the MVC 121 and synchronizes it with the
DSP Configurator program overwriting the current DSP Configurator settings, or
Push data from the DSP Configurator program to the device, overwriting settings in the
•
MVC 121.
Live mode can also be used to tailor audio settings in real-time while listening to the audio
output.
