Extron electronics DTP CrossPoint 4K Series - Using the Program

DTP CrossPoint 4K Series Matrix Switchers • Matrix Software 98
Using the Program
In the DSP Configurator in Emulate mode, you can tailor a variety of audio parameters and
then transfer them to the switcher by going to Live mode (connected to a switcher). You can
also switch to Live mode and then tailor the audio settings in real time, while listening to the
audio output with a critical ear (see Emulate mode vs. Live mode on page 126).
There are three possible DSP Configurator displays, with the following switching functions:
• Audio and video I/O page — Make video and audio ties (audio follow) and audio
adjustments
• Audio-only I/O page — Make audio only ties (audio breakaway) and audio adjustments
• Video-only I/O page — Make video only ties (video breakaway)
The DSP Configurator program always starts in the audio and video I/O page, as shown
in figure 53 on the previous page. The audio-only I/O page looks virtually identical. The
video-only I/O page omits all of the audio control blocks (see Video-only I/O page and
audio-only I/O page on page 123).
The DSP Configurator program window consists of a number of signal processor chains,
an AV matrix block, a mic mixer block, and several other mixer blocks (see figure 53 on
the previous page).
A
Line audio input signal processors (see Line audio input signal controls on page 101)
B
Mic input signal processors (see Mic/line input signal controls on page 105)
C
AV matrix block (see AV matrix block on page 110)
D
Virtual returns inputs processors (see Virtual returns inputs controls on page 110)
NOTE: The virtual bus, an internal bus for creating submixes, is comprised of the
virtual returns sub-bus and the virtual sends sub-bus. The virtual bus allows you to
“loop” already-mixed audio to these processor chains for additional processing.
See figure 53. The virtual sends sub-bus (A through H) flows down through the
L

M
,
N
, and
O
mixer blocks and loops around to become virtual returns
sub-bus on
D
.
E
Expansion port input signal processing chains (see Expansion port input signal gain
control on page 111)
F
Post-matrix signal processor chain (see Post-matrix signal processor chain on
page 111)
G
Switcher-to-output mixer block (see Switcher-to-output mixer block on page 112)
H
Mic-to-output mixer block (see Mic-to-output mixer block on page 114)

page 114)
J
Expansion inputs-to-output mixer block (see Expansion inputs-to-output mixer
block on page 114)
K
Output signal processor chain (see Output signal processor chains on page 115)
L
Switcher-to-virtual-send-bus mixer block (see Switcher-to-virtual-send-bus mixer
block on page 117)
M
Mic-to-virtual-send-bus mixer block (see Mic-to-virtual-send-bus mixer block on
page 117)

bus mixer block on page 117)

send-bus mixer block on page 117)
