Extron DMP 64 (60-1054-01)
6×4 Audio ProDSP Digital Matrix Processor/Matrix Switcher
The Extron DMP 64 Digital Matrix Processor is a 6x4 audio matrix mixer featuring Extron ProDSP, a powerful digital signal processing platform for audio signal routing and control. The DMP 64 features six mono mic/line inputs, each of which can be mixed into any or all four mono line outputs. ProDSP is loaded with powerful tools to control level, dynamics, filters, delay, ducking, loudness, and feedback suppression. It is managed by Extron's intuitive DSP Configurator Software, a PC-based application featuring the Graphical User Environment which allows for complete audio system visualization within a single window. The DMP 64 is ideal for presentation applications that require advanced line and microphone audio matrix mixing with DSP in a small form factor.
Extron DMP 64 Key Features
- 6x4 mic/line audio matrix mixer. The DMP 64 offers uniquely sized signal routing and level control for smaller projects. It features six inputs, all with mic level capability and phantom power, that can be routed and mixed to four line level outputs.
- Inputs: Six balanced or unbalanced mic/line on 3.5 mm, 3-pole captive screw connectors
- Outputs: Four balanced or unbalanced on 3.5 mm, 3-pole captive screw connectors
- ProDSP audio signal processing - The DMP 64 features 32/64-bit floating point audio DSP processing which provides very wide dynamic range and maintains audio signal transparency while preventing DSP signal clipping and simplifying management of gain staging.
- Studio grade 24-bit/48 kHz analog-to-digital and digital-to-analog converters
- Low latency DSP processing - This DSP engine within the DMP 64 supports a large array of concurrent audio processing algorithms within an audio channel and across multiple channels, while maintaining extremely low latency from input to output.
- DSP Configurator Software - A powerful yet user-friendly PC-based software tool for managing all audio operations of the DMP 64. It enables complete setup and configuration of digital audio processing tools on the ProDSP platform, as well as routing and mixing.
- Intuitive Graphical User Environment - The DSP Configurator Software features a Graphical User Environment that offers a clear view of all input and outputs, audio processing blocks, routing, mix points, and virtual routing in a single window. This allows a designer or installer to quickly view all audio activities without having to access multiple windows or menus.
- Flexible control options - The DMP 64 can be controlled using the DSP Configurator Software and a PC connection to the IP Link Ethernet port, the RS-232 serial port, or the USB 2.0 port on the front panel. The DMP 64 can also be controlled through a control system with Extron SIS - Simple Instruction Set commands, and by accessing the internal Web pages. With two RS-232 serial ports plus the IP Link Ethernet port, the DMP 64 offers possibilities for control in single and divisible room applications.
- Copy and paste for processing blocks - To help speed audio system design and setup, parameter settings can be quickly copied between individual processing blocks or identical groups of blocks within the Graphical User Environment, using conventional cut-and-paste commands.
- 32 DSP Configurator presets - Using the DSP Configurator Software, any parameters for DSP processing, levels, or audio routing can be saved as presets. These settings can be saved for the entire system, or any selected group of inputs, outputs, mixing points, and DSP blocks.
- Six digital I/O ports for remote control or feedback - Six configurable digital I/O ports are provided, so that the DMP 64 can be programmed to sense and then respond to external triggers such as mic activation and muting.
- Dual matrix design provides primary and virtual routing options - The DMP 64 employs a dual matrix design that offers substantial flexibility in routing, mixing, and processing audio input sources. A primary matrix routes each input to any, or all four outputs. If desired, any of the six inputs can first be directed into a secondary matrix, which routes the inputs to four virtual buses, before being mixed back into the outputs via the primary matrix. Virtual buses allow for inputs to be grouped together and then processed with the same DSP settings and parameters, simplifying system setup and control.
- Group masters - The DMP 64 provides the capability to consolidate gain or mute control throughout the system. Any gain or mute block within the Graphical User Environment can be selected and added to a group master, which can then be controlled by a single master fader or mute control. Each group master can have up to 16 members, and up to 32 group masters can be created.
- Soft limits provide optimal group master adjustment range - The group master volume range can be limited using soft limits to maintain optimal minimum and maximum levels when using external volume control. This prevents operators from over or under-adjusting levels when using digital I/O or RS-232 control. The DSP Configurator Software provides quick drag-and-drop adjustment of soft limits from the Group Controls screen.
- Source signal presence and clipping LEDs - The DMP 64 provides LEDs on the front panel for each input and output, for real-time monitoring of signal presence. A separate set of LEDs illuminates as a warning whenever signal clipping is detected.
- SpeedNav keyboard navigation - SpeedNav enables user-friendly, keyboard-based navigation of the DSP Configurator Software without the need for a mouse or touchpad. Using keyboard navigation keys and shortcuts, the user can access any input or output, mixing points, and all audio DSP tools. Using only the keyboard for software access can help expedite audio system setup and commissioning while on-site using laptop PCs.
- Front panel USB configuration port - Enables easy configuration without having to access the switcher's rear panel.
- Two RS-232 ports - The DMP 64 is equipped with both primary and secondary RS-232 serial ports for divided room applications.
- IP Link Ethernet monitoring and control - Engineered to meet the needs of professional A/V environments, IP Link enables the DMP 64 to be proactively monitored and managed over a LAN, WAN, or the Internet, using standard TCP/IP protocols.
- Rack-mountable 1U, half rack width metal enclosure
- Internal universal power supply - The 100-240 VAC, 50/60 Hz, international power supply provides worldwide power compatibility.
