• Features

• Application Diagram

About this Guide

This guide contains installation, configuration, and operating information for the Extron DMP64 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.

• Rack mounting — Attach the DMP 64 Plus to a standard 19-inch rack shelf. The

following Underwriters Laboratories (UL) guidelines pertain to the installation of the DMP64 Plus in a rack:

• Reduced air flow — Install the equipment in the rack so that the amount of air

flow required for safe operation of the equipment is not compromised.

• Mechanical loading — Mount the equipment in the racks so that uneven

mechanical loading does not create a hazardous condition.

• Circuit overloading — When connecting the equipment to the supply circuit,

consider the effect that circuit overloading might have on overcurrent protection and supply wiring. Consider equipment nameplate ratings when addressing this concern.

• Reliable earthing (grounding) — Maintain reliable grounding of rack-mounted

equipment. Pay particular attention to power supply connections other than direct connections to the branch circuit (such as the use of power strips).

• Under-furniture mounting — Mount the DMP 64 Plus under the surface of a desk,

table, or podium.

• Free-standing — Attach the four rubber feet provided with the device to the bottom of

the DMP 64 Plus in the four corners and place the unit on furniture as desired.

EXP Port — One RJ-45 port allows two units to be connected via a shielded CAT 6

cable to form a larger matrix system (1 foot cable included). Any Extron device with EXP capability can exchange audio with a DMP64Plus via the EXP port.

AT Ports (AT models only) — Two RJ-45 ports form a Gigabit switch for use with a

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 page113). The 2-port switch can be configured as two primary and secondary ports for redundant Dante configurations. In redundant configuration, audio traffic is duplicated.

LAN Ports — One (non-V-models) or two (V-models) RJ-45 ports provide a Gigabit

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

DMP 64 Plus to function as a configurable USB audio interface (see Configure USB

Audio on page82) 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

default states. When using the reset button, the LED blinks to signify the different reset modes (Hardware Reset Modes on page9). When not displaying reset modes, the LED operates as a power indicator, matching the front panel power LED.
