Extron electronics DTP CrossPoint 84 - Using the Program

DTP CrossPoint 84 Series Matrix Switchers • Matrix Software 81
Using the Program
In the DSP Configurator window in Emulate mode, you can tailor a variety of audio
parameters and then transfer them to the DTP CrossPoint by going to LIve mode
(connected to a DTP CrossPoint). 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107).
There are three possible DSP Configurator displays, shown below, with the following
available 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40 on page80. The audio-only I/O page looks virtually identical. The video-only I/O
page strips out all of the audio control blocks (see Video-only I/O page and audio-only
I/O page on page104).
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40).
A
Line audio input signal processor chains
B
Mic input signal processor chains
C
AV matrix block
D
Virtual returns inputs processor chains
NOTE: The virtual returns, along with the virtual sends, comprise the virtual
bus, an internal bus for creating submixes. The virtual bus allows you to “loop”
already-mixed audio to these processor chains for additional processing.
