All systems provide DMS elements which can be assigned to a VisTool page for metering, or used to create
audio loopbacks to feed signals back into other parts of the system. Mono DMS can be linked to operate in
stereo or surround. Each DMS channel is equipped with silence detect logic.
The number of DMS and the implementation varies depending on the system:
·
ruby / Power Core and sapphire MK2 / Nova17 support 256 DMS presented in 4 groups of 64.
·
sapphire compact and Nova29 support 64 DMS. In addition, Nova29 supports 256 loopbacks which
operate as loopbacks only (without metering and silence detection). These are presented in 4 groups of
64.
·
crystal supports 48 DMS (in two pages) plus 32 loopbacks which operate as loopbacks only (without
metering and silence detection).
For all systems except crystal, the DMS Input and DMS Loopback / Silence parameters are accessed from
either the "Audio Input" or "Audio Out Only" branches of the 'Tree Definition'. The same parameters can be
accessed by double-clicking on DMS in "Frames -> System Core".
For crystal, the DMS and Loopback parameters are accessed from the “System -> Definition" branch of the
'Tree Definition'.
DMS parameters can also be edited in list form from the "Command -> Inputs" window.
