About this Guide
This guide contains installation, configuration, and operating information for the Extron DMP128 FlexPlus ProDSP Digital Audio Matrix Processor. In this guide, the DMP 128 FlexPlus may also be referred to as “DMP 128,” “the mixer,” or “device”.
About the DMP 128 FlexPlus
Features
The DMP 128 FlexPlus series of compact Dante Digital Matrix Processors features twelve FlexInput channels with full DSP, including AEC, and Dante connectivity, in only a half rack space. The DMP 128 FlexPlus has an extensive mix matrix, a USB audio interface, and analog compatibility. The V-model includes up to eight VoIP lines. The DMP 128 FlexPlus also features an ACP bus for audio control panels, an expansion port for bidirectional digital audio connection with a DTP CrossPoint or another DMP, eight audio file players, and configurable macros.
• Two models with 60 total inputs and 32 total outputs — The DMP 128 FlexPlus
offers signal routing and management for a wide range of sound system applications:
• Inputs: 48 Digital via Dante or Expansion Bus, 4 Analog balanced/unbalanced mic/
line level, 8 Aux for USB or VoIP
• Outputs: 16 Digital via Dante or Expansion Bus, 8 Analog balanced/unbalanced
line level, 8 Aux for USB, VoIP or File Players
• 48x24 Dante audio networking with Dante Domain Manager and AES67 support
— Dante audio networking provides scalability for creating larger audio matrixes over a local area network using standard protocols. A built in two port Gigabit switch can be configured to support primary and redundant Dante audio networks.
• Twelve channels of AEC - acoustic echo cancellation — The DMP 128 FlexPlus
includes twelve independent channels of high performance AEC, as well as selectable noise cancellation. Extron AEC features advanced algorithms that deliver fast echo canceler convergence for optimal intelligibility in situations that challenge AEC performance.
• All models include a USB Audio interface, providing up to four channels of
digital audio sends and returns — Support for USB Audio simplifies implementation of systems with either soft-codec conferencing or computer-based audio and enables use of the same interface for both small and large scale systems.
DMP 128 FlexPlus • Introduction 1
• V-model includes up to eight VoIP lines that support generic Session Initiation
Protocol - SIP 2.0 connectivity per RFC 3261 — The DMP FlexPlus C V AT is 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 — Allows more input and output channels, with more
processing power, to be installed in less space.
• FlexInput capability on main inputs — All twelve main inputs offer FlexInput
capability to select a Dante channel, expansion input, or one of the four mic/line inputs. 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
— Direct interface with the DMP 128 FlexPlus offers flexible audio control for systems that do not require a full control system.
• Digital I/O ports for remote control or feedback — Two digital input ports and two
digital output ports are provided, so that the DMP 128 FlexPlus 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 128 FlexPlus can act as the central interface from a control system, sending commands to other DMP, AXI AT, and DTP CrossPoint devices.
• Aux inputs and outputs can be individually configured as audio file players,
USB Audio, or in the V-model, 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 eight analog outputs and all 16 direct Dante/
Expansion outputs — Up to 24 speaker zones can be implemented on one DMP 128 FlexPlus with full processing for each zone, making it ideal for full mix-minus implementations.
• Extensive mix matrixing in every DMP 128 FlexPlus allows all inputs to be
discretely routed to any or all outputs — Allows all 12 main inputs, 8 aux inputs, 48 Dante inputs and 16 virtual bus returns to be discretely routed to any or all of the 8 analog outputs, 4 aux outputs, 24 Dante outputs and the 16 virtual bus sends.
• 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.

The 1U high, half rack width, 9.5 inch deep DMP 128 FlexPlus mounts in the following manners:
• Rack mounting — Attach the DMP 128 FlexPlus to a standard 19-inch rack shelf.
The following Underwriters Laboratories (UL) guidelines pertain to the installation of the DMP128 FlexPlus 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 128 FlexPlus 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 128 FlexPlus in the four corners and place the unit on furniture as desired.
NOTE: To mount the DMP 128 FlexPlus using an Extron mounting kit, see the
instructions provided with the kit.

EXP Port — One RJ-45 port allows two units to be connected via a shielded CAT 6
B
cable to form a larger matrix system (1 foot cable included). Any Extron device with EXP capability can exchange audio with a DMP128FlexPlus via the EXP port.
AT Ports — Two RJ-45 ports form a Gigabit switch for use with a Dante network. The
C
AT ports use Dante protocol for digital audio transport (AT) and allow the DMP 128 FlexPlus to connect to a Dante audio network to form a larger matrix (Dante Controller on page109). The 4-port switch can be configured as two 2-port switches for redundant Dante configuration. In redundant configuration, audio traffic is duplicated. Ports 3 and 4 are the primary switch (PRI), ports 1 and 2 are the secondary switch (SEC) (Redundant Configuration on page116).
