Extron electronics DTP CrossPoint 84 - DSP Configurator Program; Starting the Program

DTP CrossPoint 84 Series Matrix Switchers • Matrix Software 70
Matrix Software
The DTP CrossPoint Matrix Switcher can be remotely controlled, monitored, or configured via:
• SIS commands (see Programming Guide on page51)
• Built-in HTML pages (see HTML Operation on page130)
• The following two Extron computer programs:
• Product Configuration Software
• DSP Configurator
This section details the two programs, both available on the Extron website. The section

Optimizing the Audio
The W
indows-based DSP Configurator program and Extron Product Configuration Software
(PCS) communicate with the switcher via the following ports:
•
Rear panel LAN ports
— Password-protected RJ-45 connections (see Software
Operation via Ethernet on the next page).
•
Fr
ont Panel Configuration port — A non-password-protected USB mini-B port (see
Software Operation via a USB Port on the next page).
Both programs are compatible with Windows 2000, Windows XP, and later.
The Product Configuration Software manages basic functions such as:
•
V
ideo and audio matrix (making ties)
• T
est patterns
•
V
ideo input and output configuration
• RS-232 insertion
• Scaler setup and pictur
e controls
• Line audio input level and output volume
•
EDID management
The DSP Configurator softwar
e provides all of the tools and controls necessary for
configuring and controlling the advanced audio mixing and processing functions available in
the digital signal processor built into the switcher.
NOTE: The DSP Configurator has a software lock that protects the complex DSP audio
adjustments, making them unavailable for selection in PCS. This protects the DSP
settings against inadvertent changes made by the more basic PCS audio adjustment
capabilities.
This software lock can be overridden, but Extron STRONGLY advises against doing
so.
