a b c h d e f g i j Figure 15. DMP 64 Configurator Program The DSP Configurator program window consists of an input and virtual return signal processor chain, the main mixer, virtual send and receive (secondary) mixers, and an output signal processing chain.
Navigation There are two methods of navigation around the interface: • Keyboard • Mouse One element in the user interface always retains focus. When a new DSP Configurator file is opened, the upper left element (Input #1 Gain) is focused by default. Keyboard Navigation All user interface elements, including mix-points, have the ability to receive focus using the tab and arrow keys or using the arrow keys following a single left-click. For additional details (see Keyboard Navigation on page 85).
As shown below, the starting point for the paste, (the upper, leftmost element), must first be focused by left-clicking the mouse on it. Note the green focus outline that appears on the Mic #4 Gain block. The clipboard elements are pasted using the context menu Paste command, the Edit>Paste command, or . NOTE: A cut and copy of elements can be pasted to multiple locations. To copy the clipboard to an additional location, click on the leftmost block and paste again.
DSP Configurator Toolbar Menus The DSP Configurator contains the following structural menus, arranged horizontally below the title bar: File NOTE: New, Open, and Recent Files are unavailable in Live mode. • New — Discards the current DSP configuration (after prompting to save any changes) and opens a blank configuration file. • Open — Loads and activates a previously saved DSP configuration file. • Save — Saves all changes to the current DSP configuration file under the current file name.
View • Meter Bridge — Opens a Meters dialog box with real-time meters that monitor signal levels at each input and output. NOTE: Meter Bridge is available in Live mode only while connected using the LAN port. Figure 16. Meter Bridge • Re-enable all dialogs — Re-enables all dialog boxes, the pop-up windows that allow changes to block parameters. • Error log — Lists error messages as a troubleshooting tool. • Group Controls — Opens the Group Controls dialog box (see Group Masters on page 69).
• Configure Digital I/O Ports — Live mode only. Opens a utility to configure digital I/O ports. The DMP 64 provides six digital I/O ports that can be used to trigger external events from DMP 64 actions, or for external events to trigger DMP actions (see Digital I/O Ports on page 75). • Connect to/Disconnect from Device (depending on Emulate or Live mode) — Performs the same functions as the Mode Emulate and Mode Live buttons.
• Processor Defaults, Reset All Defaults — Returns the DMP 64 processor and level control blocks to factory default settings. Each processor and gain/volume/trim block also has an individual default reset. • Processor Defaults, Defaults — Individually selects the default parameters for the various processor, trim, and gain blocks. Each row item contains default settings customized for the processor, filter, trim, or gain block it represents.
Presets Drop-down Displays a list of up to 32 presets. Select a preset from the list to display it in the window and either activate it (Recall), abort the selection without either recalling or deleting it (Cancel), or delete it (Delete). NOTE: An asterisk in the drop-down list indicates a partial preset exists only in the DMP 64 and has not been uploaded to the DSP Configurator. Mode Buttons Provides selection between Live mode and Emulate mode.
a b c h d e f g i j Figure 17. Control Blocks and Processor Chains Audio Level, Mix-point, Processing Blocks, and Signal Chains Outlined in red above (see figure 17), all control blocks on the main DSP user interface have one of three main functions in the overall signal chain: • Level control (gain, trim, and volume), • Mix-point (signal routing), or • Signal processing (filter, feedback, dynamics, delay, duck, and loudness).
Level Control Blocks To access a gain, trim or volume control to view a setting, make a change, or observe a live audio meter (input gain and output volume blocks only), double‑click the gain block icon (see figure 19). This action opens a dialog box that contains the fader for that control. Double-click a gain, trim, or volume control. A dialog box opens, containing the full fader control. NOTE: In Emulate mode (the startup mode), the meter is not operational. Figure 19.
Once a processor is inserted, to view associated parameters that define the selected processor (such as a frequency curve) or to remove the bypass, double‑click on the processor block. This action opens a new window with a dialog box that contains parameters for the processor (see figure 21). Figure 21. Sample Processor Dialog Box • The Set Defaults button discards all custom settings and reloads the default parameters.
Mic/Line Input Signal Controls The input signal processor chain allows adjustments to program or microphone audio material before input to the main mixer. Gain Control (GAIN) The gain control provides a single long-throw fader with a range of –18 dB to +80 dB, adjustable in 1 dB increments with the fader, or in 0.1 dB increments using direct entry in the input signal level readout below the fader.
Filter (FILT) Each filter block allows a total of five filters. The first filter is inserted from a processor list that appears when the block is double‑clicked or from a context window that shows a processor list when the block is right‑clicked. Figure 22. Insert Filter Menu Once inserted, double‑click the processor block to change parameters of the filter. After the first filter is inserted, up to four additional filters can be added to the filter block using the dialog box.
Figure 23. Filter Block Dialog Box Additional filters are inserted using the open filter block dialog box, and selecting a filter type from the drop-down filter selection list. All filter parameters are modified using the Filter block dialog box. Each filter is loaded with all applicable default parameters displayed to the right of each drop-down filter selection list.
Figure 24. Filter Dialog Box, Filters Added Within the dialog box, a filter is focused when a filter type is inserted, or is focused by clicking the filter number to the left of the filter selection drop-down list. Note how box 3 (see figure 24) is highlighted in yellow, indicating it is the filter in focus. When bypassed, the results of the filter in focus (independent of other filters) will show in the graph as a dotted line the same color as its filter row. When active (not bypassed), the line is solid.
Figure 25. Filter Dialog Box, Filter Not Bypassed Above the graph, each filter has a "handle" (circled in red above for the parametric EQ filter) placed directly above the cutoff or center frequency. The handle number corresponds to the filter number (also outlined in red). Clicking a handle or clicking the table row brings focus to that filter. the handle horizontally changes the cutoff or center frequency to a new position on the x axis.
High Pass The high pass filter allows frequencies below the specified frequency to pass unattenuated. All frequencies below the cutoff are attenuated. The default cutoff is 100 Hz. Figure 26. High Pass Filter Response Curve All frequencies lower than the specified frequency (in this example,100 Hz) are attenuated leaving the upper frequency response flat. Also note that at the specified frequency (100 Hz) the signal is 3 dB down, typical operation for high pass filters.
Low Pass The low pass filter is the opposite of the High Pass filter. All frequencies above the specified frequency are attenuated allowing lower frequencies to pass. Figure 27. Low Pass Filter Response Curve Here, the frequencies higher than the specified frequency, 10 kHz, are attenuated leaving the lower frequency response flat.
Bass and Treble Shelving Bass and treble shelving can be added to the filter. Also known as shelving or tone controls, the separate bass and treble filters provide the ability to cut or boost gain linearly above or below a selected frequency, with the end-band shape giving the visual appearance of a shelf. Adding the filter automatically inserts both a bass and a treble control row.
Parametric (Equalizer) The parametric filter is a frequency equalizer that offers control of all parameters, including amplitude (the amount of gain [boost], or gain reduction [cut] applied), center frequency (frequency), and range of affected frequencies (Q) around the center frequency. Up to five parametric filters can be placed in the filter box at one time. Each can be set to a different frequency creating a five band parametric equalizer. The control boosts or cuts the center frequency.
By increasing the Q to 10.000, the center frequency remains the same. The markers show the bandwidth of the filter narrowed to between 900 Hz and 1200 Hz, or about 300 Hz (see figure 30). Parametric filters can be used to notch out a very narrow, or very wide range of frequencies using the Q setting. Figure 30. Parametric Filter at 1000 Hz, Q: 10.000 The dialog window above shows the frequency curve for a single active filter.
The overall frequency response is now shown as a solid red line with the filter in focus (located in row 3 in figure 31) shown in the color of its table row. Figure 31. All Parametric Filters Active The parametric filter allows frequency selection accurate to 0.1 Hz and either 6 or 12 dB of slope. The 3 dB down point remains constant regardless of the slope setting. Only the steepness of the frequency attentuation curve changes.
Feedback Suppressor (FBS) The Feedback Suppressor is used in live situations when there is an indication of feedback during live operation. Dynamic filters automatically detect feedback on a live microphone channel, and engage a set of up to 5 fixed and 15 dynamic filters to counteract frequency peaks at the detected feedback frequency. Up to 15 separate filters can be employed at any time. The 15 filters act in a FIFO (first in, first out) rotation.
FBS Settings The Settings tab enables selection of the feedback suppressor parameters. • • For Composite View show: — The graph view is set by one of three buttons: • Only Dynamic FBS Filters • Only Fixed FBS Filters • Dynamic & Fixed FBS Filters (default) Mode: Q — Adjusts the notch filter Q used by dynamic filters. Similar to the parametric filter Q, it changes the bandwidth of the filter. The default setting can be modified in Tools>Options. The range is from 5 to 65.
FBS Dynamic Filters This tab contains the fifteen dynamic filters, with a scroll bar to display filters hidden due to dialog box size. Dynamic filters are notch filters that are cut only, providing attenuation up to 30 dB at the specified Q. The default Q is set in the Tools>Options menu, but can be changed on the settings tab prior to engaging the FBS dynamic filters. Changing the Q setting after dynamic filters have been generated clears all dynamic filters. Figure 34.
FBS Fixed Filters Fixed filters are notch filters with an adjustable center frequency and Q, and up to 30 dB of cut. The fixed filters are typically set by converting dynamic filters to fixed, however adjustments to filter parameters can be made manually from the Fixed Filters tab. Fixed Filters are inactive and the filter type is set to Unused by default. Figure 35. FBS Fixed Filters Tab No filter parameters are displayed when the filter type is set to Unused.
Dynamics (DYN) A dynamics processor alters the dynamic range, the difference between the loudest to the quietest portions, of an audio signal. Each input channel provides two dynamics processor blocks that, when inserted, provide one of four types; AGC, Compressor, Limiter, or a Noise Gate processor. To insert a processor into an empty block, select Insert from the processor menu.
Automatic Gain Control (AGC) AGC adjusts the gain level of a signal based upon the input strength to achieve a more consistent volume. Below the set threshold, the signal is not affected. Above the threshold, weaker signals are boosted up to the maximum gain setting to reach a user‑defined target level. As the signal approaches the target level it receives less gain or no gain at all. Once the signal reaches the target level all gain is removed. Click in each field to change the values.
Compressor The compressor regulates signal level by reducing (compressing) the dynamic range of the input signal above a specified threshold. The input level to output level ratio determines the reduction in the dynamic range beyond the threshold setting. For example, with a ratio setting of 2:1, for every 2 dB of input above the threshold, the compressor outputs 1 dB. Compression is commonly used to contain mic levels within an acceptable range for maximum vocal clarity.
Limiter The limiter restricts the input signal level by compressing its dynamic range above a specified threshold. The limiter is most commonly used to prevent clipping, protecting a system against component or speaker damage. While the limiter is closely related to the compressor, it applies a much higher compression ratio of ∞:1 above the threshold. The ratio is fixed and cannot be changed. Click in each field to change the value.
Noise Gate The noise gate allows an input signal to pass only when it exceeds a specified threshold level. Above the threshold level, the signal passes unprocessed. Below the threshold the signal is attenuated at the rate set by the ratio adjustment. The typical setting of the noise gate threshold is just above any noise level in the environment or source equipment. That allows signals that are above the noise to pass, and attenuates the noise when there is no signal, eliminating background noise.
Delay (DLY) The delay processor, when inserted, provides a means to delay the audio signal. Audio delay syncs audio to video or can time-align speakers placed at different distances from the listener. The DMP 64 can set delay by either of two criteria: time or distance (feet or meters). The default units setting is time with a range of 0.0 ms to 200.0 ms adjustable in 0.1 ms steps. Default is 100.0 ms. Settings are controlled with a vertical slider and indicated with a value readout field.
Ducking (DUCK) Ducking provideds a means to duck, or lower, the level of one or more input signals when a specified source must take precedence. The ducking processor block, when inserted, provides a means to duck one or more mics and program material (ducking targets) when the processor detects a signal from the ducking source.
Ducking Configuration Ducking is configured in a dialog box that opens when an active ducking processor block is double-clicked (see figure 37 on the previous page). a b Current source indicator Shows the input selected as the ducking source. Ducker settings affect the input channel shown here. When a ducker dialog is opened for a channel, the current source defaults to that channel. The current source can also be selected by the priority readout/source selector (see below).
e Priority f By (dB): (Target gain reduction amount) g Mix Status (for virtual returns): Displays the hierarchy of ducking source to duck targets (see Ducking Priority below). Priority levels are displayed in tree fashion. Click an input channel to select that channel as the current source. The current source indicator (a) reflects the selected input channel. Individual attenuation settings for each duck target in dB. If additional attenuation of a target is required, increase this value.
Ducker Tutorials The examples below are based on different input configurations. Insert a ducker from a ducker processor block using one of the following methods: Double-click the block, then click Ducker -or- Right-click the box to open context menu, then click Insert Ducker Once inserted, double-click on the ducker block to open the ducker configuration dialog box. The Enable Mic/Line Source box is checked. Ducking and Priority Ducking The first inserted channel ducks all selected targets.
Pre-mixer Gain (GAIN) The post-input processing gain control (also called the pre‑mixer gain) provides gain or attenuation post-processing gain block. It includes a mono long-throw fader with a – 100.0 to +12.0 dB gain range, and a current level setting readout below the fader. Fader adjustments are in 1 dB increments, while adjustments can be entered manually to 0.1 dB resolution. Default is unmuted at unity (0.0 dB) gain.
Line Output Channels There are four mono line output channels. Controls and processing blocks, identical for each output channel, are described in the following sections. Loudness (LOUD) The loudness processor, when inserted, applies a filter compensation curve to the signal in an inverse relationship to the output volume control setting. The higher the gain setting, the less loudness compensation is applied.
Calibrating Loudness The user can fine-tune the amount of loudness compensation using the compensation adjustment slider and adjusting "by ear," or by measuring SPL levels in a particular room, then using the slider to adjust the loudness filter relative to the SPL of the room and system gain structure. Before calibrating loudness, set up the system gain structure (see Optimizing Audio Levels on page 88).
3. Set the Calibrate slider to 0, the center point. Disengage the loudness Bypass. The result is a moderate enhancement to the program material, with more accentuated bass frequencies (below 500Hz), and more brightness in the high frequencies that carry harmonic content (above 7kHz). Engage and disengage the Bypass switch in order to “A/B” the difference between loudness off and on, respectively. 4.
Volume Control (VOL) Each output channel volume block provides a mono long‑throw fader with a range of 0 to 100 dB of attenuation, and a volume setting readout (in dB) below the fader. Volume level is adjustable with the slider or by entering the desired level directly into the volume setting readout in 0.1 dB increments. Clicking the fader handle or clicking within the fader area brings focus to the fader.
Virtual Bus Returns There are four mono virtual bus return inputs, fed by the virtual bus sends. Channel controls and processing blocks described in the sub-sections that follow are identical for each virtual bus return channel, A through D. The virtual bus is used when additional processing of an input signal is required. It is also useful to apply identical filtering, dynamics processing, loudness compensation, or signal gain/attenuation to multiple inputs.
Primary Mix Matrix The DSP architecture contains a primary mix matrix that connects the mic/line inputs and virtual bus returns to the line outputs. The DSP Configurator user interface provides control of the primary mix matrix, used to set mix levels from the post processing inputs and post processing virtual returns to each line output bus. Each mic/line input and virtual bus return is connected to a mix‑point for each of the four line outputs.
Mix-point Behavior: No mix information — A faint gray circle on the mix-point indicates it is muted (contains no mix information). Mix information — A solid teal-colored circle indicates the mix‑point contains mix information (the mix-point is unmuted). Mouse-over — The cursor changes to a hand when a mouse‑over occurs at a mix‑point, whether the mix-point contains mix information or not. Single-click — A single-click brings focus to (selects) the mix-point, indicated by a dark green outline around circle.
Clicking a mix‑point brings focus to that mix‑point. A circle appears around the teal mix‑point which remains transparent. Double-clicking a mix‑point opens a configuration dialog box with the following components: • Mono Fader — Sets the signal level from the selected input to the output bus. Gain range is -35 dB to +25 dB.
Mix-point Examples In order to better understand how mix-points work, the following diagrams provide examples of different mix setups.

Secondary Mix Matrix The DSP architecture contains a secondary mix matrix that connects the mic/line inputs and virtual bus return signals to the virtual bus sends. The DSP Configurator user interface provides control of the secondary mix matrix, used to set levels from the post-processing input line and virtual bus return signals to the virtual bus sends. Each of the six mic/line and four virtual return inputs connect to a mix-point for virtual bus A through D. Each mix-point is muted and set to 0.
In the example below (see figure 45), input 1 is sent to the virtual bus send by muting all four signals on the input 1 primary mix-points. The virtual bus now serves as additional signal processing for the input. The signal routes over virtual bus A and through the signal chain before being sent to the virtual bus return mix‑point and output 1. This configuration is useful when more than one input requires identical processing.
Group Masters There are 32 Group Masters that can each be configured to simultaneously control up to 16 group members. Group masters are configured in the DSP Configurator program and saved in the device. Working in emulate mode, group masters can be saved in a configuration file and pushed to the device upon connection. A group master can either be a gain control or a mute control. Only one control type can be selected as group members for control by a group master.
Figure 46. Sample Fader Group Master and Associated Gain Controls Mute controls within the blocks can also be grouped (see figure 47). Figure 47.

Digital I/O Ports The DMP 64 provides six digital I/O ports that can trigger external events from DMP 64 actions, or allow external events to trigger DMP 64 actions. The DSP Configurator software provides pre-configured scripts with a fixed set of common trigger and event combinations. When selected, the script is compiled and placed onto the File Management system of the device. For more advanced or custom scripts, contact an Extron Electronics Applications Engineer.

Presets Presets recall a group of frequently used settings. Presets created by DSP Configurator can contain all elements (gain blocks, processor blocks, and mix-points) or a portion of the elements available within the program. In Emulate mode, up to 32 partial presets can be created, uploaded as a set, and stored to the device or a disk as a configuration file. In Live mode, presets can be created one at a time from the current state.
Building a Preset Only elements of the preset highlighted (given focus) are saved as a preset. highlights all elements within the DSP Configurator. To build a preset, highlight the desired DSP Configurator elements (gain and processor blocks, and mix-points) using standard keyboard and mouse actions as follows: 1. Click the desired block to select a single block, 2. to select multiple blocks that are not adjacent, 3.
Managing Presets Once a preset is created (whether or not the DSP Configurator file is saved), it appears in the preset list, available from the DSP Configurator user interface. In Live and Emulate mode, after a preset is selected from the list, action buttons become available next to the presets bar. The user can either Recall (make the preset active), Cancel (return to the current emulation or state), or Delete the preset.
Protected Configuration A protected configuration is secured with PIN protection. The protected configuration can be recalled by any user, but can only be written or overwritten using the assigned 4-digit PIN. Utilities for Save, Recall, and Change PIN, (separate from preset save), are accessed from the Tools menu as three sub-menus under a protected configuration menu item. Protected configuration menu items are only available in live mode from the Tools > Protected Configuration menu.
DSP Configurator Windows Menus The DSP Configurator program is fully navigable using the computer keyboard. Some keyboard navigation behavior matches Windows standards, while other behaviors are specific to DSP Configurator. Keyboard Navigation When the program starts, the cursor focus defaults to the mic/line input gain block (figure 56, a). The input 1 gain block is highlighted green [ ]. The key toggles to the various sections outlined in red in figure 56.
• Shift+Tab key combination — Reverses the direction of the key function. • Arrow ( , , , and ) Keys — Navigate up, down, left, and right within any of the areas outlined in figure 56. • Enter Key — Performs the same action as a mouse double-click. For example, it can open the context menu from which a processor type can be selected, or open a dialog box when applicable. When an action button is highlighted, executes the button action and toggles the button when applicable.
4. To highlight another element or group of elements, repeat steps 2 and 3 as required. 5. To cut or copy, press the or key combination. 6. To save a preset, press , , , then , (see figure 57 below). 7. The Save a Preset dialog box appears. a. to highlight the Preset Number field and type a specific number. b. to highlight the Preset Name field and type a name.
Optimizing Audio Levels The DMP 64 uses floating point DSP technology, processing data using a combination of 32- and 64-bit algorithms. The analog to digital converters (ADC) and digital to analog converters (DAC) sample at 48 kHz with 24-bit resolution. With floating point DSP it is extremely difficult to clip the audio signal within the DSP audio signal chain, after the ADC input and before the DAC output. That means the audio signal must not be clipped at the input ADC.
About Setting Gain Structure There are two approaches the system designer can take in setting up gain structure, depending upon where output volume is to be controlled. The output volume of the DMP 64 can be controlled by either of the following two gain blocks (see figure 58 on the previous page): • Volume (e) and • Pre-mixer gain (b). NOTE: While the pre-mixer gain control is not in the output signal chain, it can be used to control program level independent of mix-point levels.
Adjusting Pre-mixer Gain After setting input gain, add desired processors into the input signal chain (see figure 58 on page 88). The pre‑mixer gain control (b) is used to compensate for level changes due to processing. Adding a compressor generally reduces the signal level, while a filter can boost or cut the overall signal level. When changes are made to filter settings after setting dynamics processors, re‑check the levels in the dynamics processors to make certain they are still valid.
Setting Mic/Line Input and Mix Levels In this example, the mic/line input 1 signal is sent to output 1 (see figure 58 on page 88). To set the mic/line input and mix levels: 1. Connect a microphone to input #1. 2. Double-click the mix‑point (c) for mic/line 1 to output 1 to open the dialog for that mix-point, then unmute the mix‑point to place the signal into the mix. The default level for the mix-point is 0 dB, or unity gain. 3.
SIS Programming and Control This section describes SIS programming and control of the DMP 64, including: • Connection Options • Host-to-device Communications • Command and Response Table for Basic SIS Commands • Command and Response Tables for DSP SIS Commands • Special Characters Connection Options The DMP 64 Digital Matrix Processor can be remotely connected via a host computer or other device (such as a control system) attached to the rear panel RS‑232 port or LAN port, or the front panel USB C
RS-232 Ports The DMP 64 has two serial ports that can be connected to a host device such as a computer running the HyperTerminal utility or DataViewer. The ports make serial control of the switcher possible. Use the protocol information listed to make the connection. For SIS programming details once the connection is made, see Host-to-device Communications on page 95.
To establish a network connection to the DMP 64: 1. Open a TCP socket to port 23 using the mixer IP address. NOTE: If the local system administrators have not changed the value, the factory‑specified default, 192.168.254.254, is the correct value for this field. 2. The DMP 64 responds with a copyright message including the date, the name of the product, firmware version, part number, and the current date and time. a.
Host-to-device Communications The commands listed in the following tables perform the same functions, but are encoded differently to accommodate the requirements of each port (Telnet or browser). DMP 64-initiated Messages The DMP 64 initiates messages under specific conditions. No response is required from the host. The DMP 64-initiated messages are listed here (underlined). © Copyright 2009, Extron Electronics, DMP 64, Vn.nn, 60–1054-01 Day, DD MMM YYYY HH:MM:SS Vn.nn is the firmware version number.

Command and Response Tables for DSP SIS Commands Many digital signal processor (DSP) functions; gain, mute, group masters, and a protected configuration can be controlled using SIS commands. These commands follow the same general rules as basic SIS commands, but the variables (X/) tend to be more complex. Also, a comprehensive understanding of the audio signal flow is helpful to understanding the commands. Figure 61 shows specific DSP functions available using SIS commands.
