covered:
• About this Guide
• About the DMP 64 Plus
• Features
• Application Diagram
About this Guide
This guide contains installation, configuration, and operating information for the Extron
DMP64 Plus ProDSP Digital Audio Matrix Processor. In this guide, the DMP 64 Plus may
also be referred to as “DMP 64,” “the mixer,” or “device”.
About the DMP 64 Plus
The Extron DMP 64 Plus Digital Audio Matrix Processor is a 6x4 audio mixer with broad I/O
expansion capabilities including:
• 6 auxiliary inputs via VoIP (V models only), USB, and internal audio files.
• 16x16 expansion bus
• Dante® 48x24 AT channels (AT models only)
• VoIP (V models only)
• Digital I/O
The DMP 64 Plus features Extron ProDSP, automixing, AEC (Acoustic Echo Cancellation),
and USB audio for use as an audio-to-PC interface. The DMP 64 Plus offers a configuration
approach to DSP to simplify mixing, routing, conferencing, and room optimization. Quick
and intuitive configuration using the Extron DSP Configurator software allows the DMP 64
Plus to be installed in very little time with easy-to-learn adjustments that can be applied in
real-time. A digital audio expansion port (EXP) allows two EXP-capable devices to be linked
together to expand input and output signal management and routing capabilities.
The DMP 64 Plus is ideal for presentation and conferencing applications in boardrooms,
courtrooms, and conference centers requiring advanced matrix mixing and DSP.
In addition to EXP expansion capabilities, DMP 64 Plus AT models allow connection to a
Dante audio network for transporting audio across a TCP/IP network. This further increases
the DMP 64 Plus input and output expansion capabilities. DMP 64 Plus V models can
register up to 8 VoIP lines per device. The DMP 64 Plus V can function as a VoIP interface,
removing the need for dedicated VoIP hardware. The DMP 64 Plus has no front panel
controls. All configuration is performed using the Extron DSP Configurator software from
a host computer via Ethernet (recommended) or USB. The rear panel RS-232 port allows
for serial control via SIS commands. Signal presence and clip LEDs for the twelve input
channels and eight output channels are on the front panel. Status indicators for EXP, LAN,
and USB audio are also on the front panel.
DMP 64 Plus • Introduction 1
Features
• Four models with 6 mic/line inputs and 4 line outputs
• Six channels of AEC — acoustic echo cancellation
• All models include a configurable USB Audio interface — Easy connectivity to
computer based soft codecs and program playback sources.
The input/output configuration of the USB Audio Interface can be set to 0x8, 2x6, 4x4,
6x2, or 8x0. This allows for more input or output streams, as required by the system
application.
• AT models provide Dante audio network connectivity —
• Receives 32 channels from a Dante network
• Transmits 16 channels to a Dante network
• Supports Dante Domain Manager
• AES67 support
• V-models include up to eight VoIP lines that support generic Session Initiation
Protocol - SIP 2.0 connectivity per RFC 3261 — The DMP 64 Plus V models are
compatible with select VoIP systems and can be used for a single VoIP line or as a VoIP
farm for up to eight rooms.
• Compact half rack size
• FlexInput capability on main inputs (AT models only) — All six main inputs offer
FlexInput capability to select a Dante channel, expansion input, or a local mic/line input.
This allows incorporating the full range of DSP capabilities, including AEC, for incoming
Dante channels.
• Optional ACP Series audio control panels provide intuitive audio system
control — Directly connects to the DMP 64 Plus, offering flexible audio control for
configurations that do not require a full control system.
• Digital I/O ports for remote control or feedback — Six digital input and output
ports are provided, so that the DMP 64 Plus can be programmed to sense and then
respond to external triggers such as mic activation, muting, and recall of presets.
• Macros allow the sequencing of commands that can be sent to the local device
or external devices via the LAN port — A single DMP 64 Plus can act as the central
interface from a control system, sending commands to other DMP and DTP CrossPoint
units.
• Aux inputs and outputs can be individually configured as audio file players,
USB Audio, or in the V-models, VoIP lines — Audio file players can be allocated to
any aux input and used to play back prerecorded content. USB Audio and VoIP can be
allocated to any aux input and any aux output. In these cases, the aux inputs function
like returns and the aux outputs function like sends. For USB audio, that would be
sends and returns to/from a room PC running a software codec, and VoIP would be
sends and returns to/from the central VoIP PBX.
• Advanced audio processing on all four analog outputs and all 16 direct
Dante/Expansion outputs — Up to 20 speaker zones can be implemented on one
DMP 64 Plus with full processing for each zone, making it ideal for full mix-minus
implementations.
• Extensive mix matrixing in every DMP 64 Plus allows all inputs to be discretely
routed to any or all outputs — The mix matrix allows all main inputs, aux inputs,
Dante inputs and virtual bus returns to be discretely routed to any or all of the analog
outputs, aux outputs, Dante outputs and the virtual bus sends.
DMP 64 Plus • Introduction 2
• 16 virtual processing loops allow for great flexibility in sub-mixing and
processing — Processing common to many inputs can be applied using a single
virtual channel.
• Up to eight audio file players can be used to play back audio files for system
set-up or as part of the system design — Use the provided pink noise, white
noise, and sine wave files, or import your own WAV, MP3, WMA, AIFF, AAC, or RAW
files. Supported file formats are automatically converted to 24-bit, 48 kHz RAW for
approximately 20 minutes of playback time and saved to the onboard storage.
• Low latency — Powerful DSP chips maximize performance, resulting in latency
that is very low, from input to output, regardless of the number of active channels or
processes. While latency increases in channels with AEC enabled, and marginally with
the automixer, overall latency remains low. This keeps audio in sync with video, and
prevents distractions to presenters or performers resulting from delayed live audio.

capability can exchange audio with a DMP64Plus via the EXP port.
AT Ports (AT models only) — Two RJ-45 ports form a Gigabit switch for use with a
C
Dante network. The AT ports use Dante protocol for digital audio transport (AT) and
allow the DMP 64 Plus to connect to a Dante audio network to form a larger matrix
(Dante Controller on page113). The 2-port switch can be configured as two primary
and secondary ports for redundant Dante configurations. In redundant configuration,
audio traffic is duplicated. Port 1 is the primary port (PRI) and Port 2 is the secondary
switch (SEC) (see Redundant Configuration on page120)
NOTE: When using PoE+ for power, connecting an external power supply is not
necessary.

LAN Ports — One (non-V-models) or two (V-models) RJ-45 ports provide a Gigabit
F
network connection for control and VoIP traffic. The host PC or control system and the
DMP 64 Plus must be connected to the same network. Two LEDs indicate status.
NOTE: Only the DMP 64 Plus V-models have two LAN/VoIP ports.
The non-V-models only have a single LAN port.
LAN 1 defaults:
IP Address Subnet Mask Default Gateway DHCP
192.168.254.254 255.255.255.0 0.0.0.0 OFF
LAN 2 defaults:
IP Address Subnet Mask Default Gateway DHCP
192.168.1.254 255.255.255.0 0.0.0.0 OFF
There are three ways the dual LAN ports can be configured on DMP 64 Plus V-models:
1. Control and VoIP traffic on one LAN port — Both control and VoIP traffic can be
transported via a single LAN port.
NOTE: By default, control and VoIP traffic are both transported on LAN 1.
2. Control and VoIP traffic on one LAN port using a VLAN — Both control and
VoIP traffic can be transported via a single physical LAN port while utilizing a VLAN
for VoIP traffic.
3. Control and VoIP traffic on separate LAN ports — Control and VoIP traffic can
be transported on separate LAN ports with unique IP configurations.
USB Audio Port — One mini USB type B port connects to a computer and allows the
G
DMP 64 Plus to function as a configurable USB audio interface (see Configure USB
Audio on page82) with a Windows or Mac computer. Available sample rates are
48 kHz/16-bit.
Reset Button and LED —The reset button returns the DMP 64 Plus to different tiers of
H
default states. When using the reset button, the LED blinks to signify the different reset
modes (Hardware Reset Modes on page9). When not displaying reset modes,
the LED operates as a power indicator, matching the front panel power LED.
