Orange when in limiting state.
Off when there is no signal on the input.
3
IN OUT DANTE™ LEDs (1 to 4) Indicate Dante signal status:
Green when a signal is detected.
Red when clipping occurs.
Orange when in Limiting state.
Off when no signal is detected.
4
HDMI™ LEDs EMBED
Lights green when an analog audio signal is associated with the HDMI OUT signal. Otherwise remains OFF.
DE-EMBED
Lights green when the HDMI IN audio signal is present. Otherwise remains OFF.
5
IN OUT S/PDIF LEDs
Indicate S/PDIF status:
Green when a signal is detected.
Off when no signal is detected.
If a signal is detected only on one channel, either left only or right only, the status
LED lights green.
6
CH 1(L)/CH 2(R) AMPLIFIER LEDs

Step 3: Mount AFM-20DSP

To rack mount the machine, attach both rack ears (by removing the screws from each side of the machine and replacing those screws through the rack ears) or place the machine on a table.
Ensure that the environment (e.g., maximum ambient temperature & air flow) is compatible for the device.
Avoid uneven mechanical loading.
Appropriate consideration of equipment nameplate ratings should be
used for avoiding overloading of the circuits.
Reliable earthing of rack-mounted equipment should be maintained.

Step 4: Connect the inputs and outputs

Always switch OFF the power on each device before connecting it to your AFM-20DSP.
For optimum range and performance use the recommended Kramer cables available at
www.kramerav.com/product/AFM-20DSP. Using third-party cables may cause damage!

Step 5: Connect the power

Connect the power cord to AFM-20DSP and plug it into the mains electricity.
Safety Instructions (See www.kramerav.com for updated safety information)
Caution:
There are no operator serviceable parts inside the unit.
Warning:
Use only the power cord that is supplied with the unit.
Disconnect the power and unplug the unit from the wall before installing.
Do not open the unit. High voltages can cause electrical shock! Servicing by qualified personnel only.
To ensure continuous risk protection, replace fuses only according to the rating specified on the product label which located on the bottom of the unit.

Step 6: Operate the AFM-20DSP

Using the embedded web pages
To route an input to an output / outputs:
In the DSP Matrix page, click the lower area of cross-point buttons to connect an audio input (analog, Dante, HDMI audio signal, S/PDIF or a signal generator) to one or several outputs (analog, Dante, HDMI or S/PDIF). The button lights green.
Click the dB area on a cross-point button to set the output volume.
To process an input/output signal:
In the DSP Main page, process each input and output audio signal and view the routing state of the matrix. Click AMP to select the amplifier audio signal.
To mix the audio signals:
In the DSP Mixer page, control the audio level (or mute) each input/output, define an analog input as line or mic, and so on. You can also store/recall snapshots of the current mixing setting.
To define the audio and video settings:
In the A/V Settings page, select the I/O port configuration, save and load system presets, define Dante and Ethernet parameters and set HDMI labels and input pattern.
To define device parameters:
In the Settings page, enter the device name, Ethernet settings, firmware upgrade, date and time settings or perform a factory reset.
