Configuring a Macro
1. Click Tools > Configure Macros. The Configure Macros dialog box opens.
2. Select an empty macro slot from the Select Macro drop-down.
3. From the Destination drop-down, select a destination for the macro action. Choose
Local for the local DMP 128 Plus, or Add Destination... for a remote destination. If
choosing Local, proceed to step 4.
NOTE: If the remote device has already been added, it is listed in the drop-down
list.
a. After selecting Add Destination..., the Edit Remote Destinations dialog
box opens.
b. Complete the form in the dialog box, including username and password, if required.
c. Select Apply to add the device to the drop-down in the Destinations column.
d. Click Close to close the Edit Remote Destinations dialog box.
e. Select the newly created remote destination from the Destination drop-down.
4. From the Action drop-down, select an action to be configured.
• Recall Preset — Recall an existing preset.
• Set Group Gain — Set the level of an existing gain group.
• Set Group Gain Inc/Dec — Set the increment/decrement values of an existing
gain group.
• Set Group Mute — Mute or unmute an existing mute group.
• Gain — Set the gain of a specific gain block on a specific channel.
• Mute — Mute or unmute a specific gain block on a specific channel.
• Set Phantom Power – Enable or disable phantom power on a specific
Mic/Line input channel.
• Meters On/Off — Enable or disable level meters at the input gain or output
attenuation stages of a specific channel.
• Set Input Format — Specify whether mic/line inputs receive analog signal from the
inputs or digital signal via the Dante network (see
9
in figure 45 on page25).
• SIS Command — Type in a single SIS command to perform an action not listed
above (see Remote Communication and Control on page123).
NOTE: Use the W key in place of E and the | (pipe) key in place of }.
5. Once the action is chosen, up to four additional selections must be made. For example,
if Set Group Gain is the selected action, Selection 1 prompts the selection of a gain
group to be affected and Selection 2 determines the gain level the selected group is
set to.
6. When all of the action selections are configured, a new line appears at the bottom of the
form so another action can be configured.
7. From the Next Command drop-down, select whether the DMP 128 Plus waits for an SIS
response from each action before executing the next action in the macro or executes
the next command immediately without waiting for an SIS response. The default is
Execute immediately. Responses can be viewed through Extron Dataviewer and
follow SIS response syntax (see DSP SIS Commands on page141).
a. If Wait for response was selected, the Delay field becomes active. Use the
keyboard or the arrows to the right of the field to enter the amount of delay in
seconds. The default is 0.000 seconds of delay.
