Understanding C-Series Output Processing - Polycom SoundStructure C16 Design Manual

Matrix crosspoints associated with stereo channels have a balance or pan to control mapping mono to
stereo channels, stereo to mono channels, and stereo to stereo channels.
The three different versions of the input processing - the ungated, conferencing, and sound reinforcement
- are selected at the matrix crosspoint. The SoundStructure Studio software allows the user to select which
version of the input signal processing at the matrix crosspoint. As shown in
SoundStructure Studio, the different versions of the input processing are represented with different
background colors in the matrix crosspoint.
The following figure highlights how to interpret the matrix crosspoints in the matrix.

Understanding C-Series Output processing

As shown in the following table and figure, each output signal from the matrix can be processed with
dynamics processing, either 10-band parametric or 10-, 15-, or 31-band graphic equalization, a fader, and
output delay up to 1000 milliseconds.
