Firmware Updates The firmware of the DMP 44 LC can be updated thr ough USB or RS-232 connection. The user can obtain new firmware fr om the Extron website.
Digital Input Ports The three-pin Digital Input port is used to monitor or drive TTL level digital signals. The port consists of three input pins with the fourth pin being used as a gr ound providing three inputs total.
3. Select the event or “trigger” to configure the input. 4. Select the action that results when the trigger occurs. 5. Select the group to act upon when the trigger event occurs.
DSP Pr ocessing and Signal Flow The diagram below shows the signal flow and DSP processing per signal chain. Signal chains and the matrix are described in the following sections.
Mix Matrix The line input process r outes incoming signals through a mix matrix to the line outputs. The mix matrix contains 16 mix-points, one for each input to each output bus with each mix-point containing a single fader with a range of -24 dB to +12 dB, plus a mute control.
Line Input Channels There ar e four (4) mono line input channels. Channel controls and processing blocks described in the following sections are identical for each of the four inputs. Line (Input) Gain Line inputs provide gain settings to accommodate consumer and pr o line level sources.
Filter Block Each line input channel filter block allows a total of five filters. The first filter is inserted from a pr ocessor list that appears when the block is double-clicked or via a context window/processor list when the block is right-clicked.
Figure 9. Filter Dialog Box, Filters Added Within the dialog box, a filter is focused when a filter type is inserted, or is focused by clicking the filter number to the left of the filter selection drop-down list. Note how filter 3 in the figure below is highlighted in yellow , indicating it is the filter in focus.
Parametric (Equalizer) Up to three parametric filters can be placed in the filter box at one time. Each may be set to a differ ent frequency creating a 3 band parametric equalizer .
The parametric filter allows frequency selection accurate to 0.1 Hz and either 6 or 12 dB of slope. Notice at the specified frequency (100 Hz) the signal is 3 dB down, typical operation for high pass filters. The 3 dB down point will remain constant r egardless of the slope setting.
Bass and T reble Shelving Bass and treble shelving may be added to the filter , as shown below . Adding this filter automatically inserts both bass and treble contr ols in the dialog box. If only a bass or only a treble filter is r equired, either bypass the unneeded control or set it to unused in the selection box.
2. Specify bass and treble filters if necessary . Configuring Groups 1. From the View menu, select Group Controls . 2. T o add a new group, select Add a Group .
3. Select a group to configur e. NOTE: T o configure Bass and T reble groups, see “ Configuring Bass and T reble Groups .” 4. Select a control type for the gr oup.
5. Define the group members. Configuring Bass and T reble Groups 1. From the main DSP Configurator scr een, select the Filters block, as shown below . DMP 44 LC • Operation 24.
2. From the dr op down menu select Bass & Treble Filters . 3. Double-clicking the Filters processor opens the configuration scr een. Configure the bass and treble parameters. NOTE: The Bypass button is red when the filter is bypassed or not active.
5. Select the Bass or T reble control gr oup. 6. Select the group members. 7. Repeat steps 5 and 6 for the unselected control gr oup (Bass or T reble) .
Dynamics Processor A dynamics processor alters the dynamic range, the dif ference between the loudest to the quietest portions of an audio signal. Each input channel offers one dynamics pr ocessor block that, when inserted, provides a compr essor .
Compression can also be used to pr otect a system or a signal chain from overload similar to a limiter . Threshold — The input signal level above which compr ession begins (subject to attack time) and below which compression stops (subject to hold and r elease time).
Limiter The limiter restricts the input signal level by compr essing its dynamic range above a specified threshold. The limiter is most commonly used to pr event clipping, protecting a system against component or speaker damage. While the limiter is closely related to the compressor , it applies a much higher compression ratio of ∞ :1.
Ducking is configured in a window which opens when an active ducking pr ocessor block is double-clicked (see the following diagram). Ducking can be globally set up from a single configuration window , which opens when any of the active ducking processor blocks are double-clicked.
Ducking Configuration Dialog a Current sour ce indicator Shows the selected input. Ducker settings affect the input channel shown her e. When a ducker dialog is opened for a channel, the current sour ce defaults to that channel. The current sour ce can also be selected via the priority readout/source selector (see the following figure).
f By (dB) Individual attenuation settings for each duck target in dB. The default is 20.0 dB. If additional attenuation of the targets is requir ed, increase this value.
Mix Matrix The DSP architectur e contains a mix matrix that connects the line inputs to the line outputs. The DSP Configurator GUI provides contr ol of the mix matrix, used to set mix levels from the post pr ocessing inputs, to each line output bus. Each of the four line inputs is connected to a mix-point for each of the four line outputs.
• OK/Cancel — Click OK to accept changes and close the window . Cancel ignores changes and closes the window . The title above the fader reflects the output channel name for the mix-point. Mix-point GUI behavior: No mix information — A solid gray ball indicates thst the mix-point is muted (contains no mix information).
Double-click — Double-click to open the mix-point dialog box. The focus circle turns light green in color to indicate the open dialog box, as show in the following figur e. If the mix-point is muted, the mix-point ball will be gray . If unmuted, the ball will be teal.
In order to understand how the mix-points work, the following figur es provide examples of mixes. In the first example figure below , input audio from mic input 1 is pr ocessed and arrives at the mix-point. Double-clicking on the mix-point opens the dialog box.
In the example figure below , inputs 1 to 4 have been routed to outputs 1 thr ough 4 by unmuting the mix-point for mic/line input 1 on each output (1 through 4) bus. Again, the mix-points are teal to indicate the r outing. Figure 21. All Inputs to All Outputs Line Output Channels There ar e four mono line output channels.
Dynamics The output channel dynamics block provides a limiter function (see the diagram below) that restricts the input signal level by compr essing its dynamic range above a specified threshold. The limiter is most commonly used to pr event clipping, protecting a system against component or speaker damage.
