Creating Designs With Soundstructure Studio - Polycom SoundStructure C16 Design Manual

Creating Designs with
SoundStructure Studio
A SoundStructure configuration file is a binary file that includes the definition
of the virtual channels, the virtual channel groups, the appropriate input and
output gain settings, echo cancellation settings, equalization, matrix routings,
and more. This file may be uploaded to SoundStructure devices or stored on
the local PC for later upload.
By default, SoundStructure products do not have predefined virtual channels
or a predefined matrix routing and therefore must be configured before the
SoundStructure products can be used in audio applications. The SoundStruc-
ture Studio software with integrated InstantDesigner™ is used to create a
design and to upload that design to one or more SoundStructure devices.
SoundStructure devices are shipped without a default configuration and must be
configured with the SoundStructure Studio software.
The details of creating a new SoundStructure Studio design file are described
in this chapter. For information on how to customize a design file, see Chapter
5 - Customizing SoundStructure Designs and for information on how to use
the specific user interface controls with SoundStructure Studio, see Chapter 17
- Using SoundStructure Studio Controls.
