Description
belonging to the currently selected matrix crosspoint. The controls in this group are:
• Gain (dB) - The crosspoint gain in dB is displayed here and can be adjusted from -69dB to
+20dB, or set to "Off". There are two ways to change the gain
• Click on the buttons next to the control to run the value up or down.
• Type a value directly into the control and press ENTER.
• Gain Step (dB) - The default step size when using the buttons to run the gain up and down is
1dB. This can be adjusted here from 1dB to 10dB.
• Automix Mode - Select the automix mode for the crosspoint using the radio buttons in this
group. Four modes are available:
• Auto - In automatic mode the input applied to the crosspoint is mixed into the mix bus using
the the Adaptive Proportional Gain automixing algorithm in the normal manner. This is the
most common setting.
• Direct - In Direct mode the automixing algorithm is bypassed.
• Override - Override mode is selected when it is required that the input applied to the
crosspoint always dominates the mix bus when it becomes active.
• Background - Background mode is selected when it is required that the input applied to the
crosspoint dominates the mix bus only when all other inputs are inactive.
• Phantom - Phantom mode is selected when it is required that an input applied to the
crosspoint participate in the automixing algorithm as in Auto mode, but with a twist - the signal
received from that input does not actually appear in the mix.
These are buttons, one for each DM84 output, which indicate which mix bus is serving as the
matrix signal source for that particular output channel. The button for each output will appear
underneath the column representing the matrix mix bus assigned as a signal source for that
output channel . If an expansion mix bus is assigned to an output, the button for that output will
appear on the Expansion Mix Matrix tab. These controls make it easier to keep track of the
signal flow within the system.
Certain output channel settings can be viewed or changed using these controls by right clicking
on the button to open a popup menu.
The following Output channel settings are available:
• Output Source - Select one of the choices listed under the Output Source submenu. The
current selection is indicated by a checkmark next to the choice on the submenu.
• Mute - Use the Mute Output option as a toggle to mute/unmute the output channel. When this
menu option is checked the channel is muted, otherwise it is unmuted.
