I/O CONFIGURATION WIZARD

At this point it is necessary to know in advance the system that you intend to create, since later, to modify these selections, you will have to run a guided procedure.
More specically the guided procedure will request:
- Which type of output lter to use: FIR or IIR. Remark: in the FIR mode you can have a maximum of
9 output channels.
- Whether to choose between an output system with reconstruction of the input front or PASS THROUGH.
- Whether or not to perform a complete analysis of your OEM audio system, in order to maximize the results.
- Which types of main entrances will be used, whether at high level or low level. This choice will not
prevent the use of low-level or digital auxiliary sources. The guided procedure changes according to the selection.
- If you intend to turn on the product via “HI LEVEL TURN ON” (ART).
- Which auxiliary inputs will be used (i.e.: AUX o OPTICAL IN … etc.).
- What kind of signals will be assigned to the main inputs (i.e.: Front Left or Center or Subwoofer etc.).
- Which speakers make up the system (i.e.: 3-way Front or Sub stereo or 2-way Rear etc.).
- If there are passive crossovers that manage groups of speakers (i.e.: 3-way system with active
medium-low).
- If there are ampliers connected via the AC Link.

7.2.2 AUTOMATIC ROUTING

The choice of I/O conguration using the "Automatic Routing" provides the ability to interface with your
source outputs automatically, allowing you to specialize the inputs and the outputs after analysing them. The procedure can be performed completely in the following way:
a. Master Delay / Polarity Check. It allows to identify and compensate for possible time delays and electric phase inversion of the OEM source interfaced with the bit One HD Virtuoso;
b. Master DE-EQ / Phase Alignment. It allows the user to carry out an analysis of the emission fronts, in this
case the Equalization curve is identied,
any All Pass present, compensating them if necessary. Furthermore, an analysis is made of the progress of the channels that make up the front in order to manually compensate for any crossover points.
c. Auto Input Switch. It enables the activation of the automatic control of the auxiliary source (Aux - Optical 1/2) by controlling the volume of your vehicle's audio source
(see sec. 5.4.3 - 5.6.1)
