• Intuitive Graphical User Environment — The DSP Configurator Software features
a Graphical User Environment with a clear view of all input and outputs, audio
processing blocks, routing, mix points, and virtual routing in a single window. This
allows a designer or installer to quickly view all audio activities without having to
access multiple windows or menus.
•
SpeedNav keyboard navigation — SpeedNav enables user-friendly, keyboard-
based navigation of the DSP Configurator Software without the need for a mouse
or touchpad. Using keyboard navigation keys and shortcuts, a user can access any
input or output, mixing points, and all audio DSP tools. Using only the keyboard for
software access can help expedite audio system setup and commissioning while on-
site using laptop PCs.
• Copy and paste for processing blocks — To help speed audio system design
and setup, parameter settings can be quickly copied between individual processing
blocks or identical groups of blocks within the Graphical User Environment, using
conventional cut-and-paste commands.
•
32 DSP Configurator presets — Using the DSP Configurator Software, parameters
for DSP processing, signal levels, or audio routing can be saved as presets. These
settings can be saved for the entire system, or any selected group of inputs, outputs,
mixing points, and DSP blocks.
• Six digital I/O ports for remote control or feedback — Six configurable digital I/O
ports are provided that enable the DMP 64 to sense and respond to external triggers
such as mic activation and muting.
• Dual matrix design — The DMP 64 employs a dual matrix design with substantial
flexibility to rout, mix, and process audio input sources. A primary matrix routes each
input to any or all four outputs. If desired, any of the six inputs can first be directed
into a secondary matrix, which routes the inputs to four virtual buses before being
mixed back to the outputs via the primary matrix. Virtual buses allow for inputs to be
grouped together and then processed with the same DSP settings and parameters,
simplifying system setup and control.
•
Group masters — The DMP 64 provides the capability to consolidate gain or mute
control throughout the system. Any gain or mute block within the Graphical User
Environment can be selected and added to a group master, which can then be
controlled by a single master fader and mute control. Each group master can have up
to 16 blocks, and up to 32 group masters can be created.
•
Soft limits — Soft limits can be applied to group master faders. Minimum and
maximum limits can be specified and controlled via RS-232 serial control.
• Source signal presence and clipping LEDs — The DMP 64 provides indicator LEDs
on the front panel for each input and output providing real-time monitoring of signal
presence. A separate set of LEDs illuminates as a warning when signal clipping is
detected.
• Flexible control options — The DMP 64 can be controlled using the DSP
Configurator Software and a PC connection to the IP Link Ethernet port, the RS-232
serial port, or the USB 2.0 port on the front panel.
• Front panel USB configuration port — Enables configuration without having to
access the rear panel.
• Two RS-232 ports — The DMP 64 is equipped with both primary and secondary RS-
232 serial ports for divided room applications.
•
RS-232 serial control port — Using serial commands, the DMP 64 can be controlled
and configured via the Extron Windows
third-party control systems using Extron SIS
two RS-232 serial ports plus the IP Link Ethernet port, the DMP 64 offers possibilities
for control in single and divisible room applications.
