DESCRIPTION

The MediaMatrix® 900 Series
Mainframe is the heart of an unprec­edented digital audio system. The
system is based on an open architec­ture that utilizes a system controller
card and one or more digital processing
cards employing four (4) Motorola
56002 DSP chips. When attached to
the MM™-8830,MM™-8840 or
MM™-8848 Digital Interface, it provides
8 inputs and 8 outputs. The maximum
system capacity is 256 total inputs and
outputs. The MediaMatrix MWare™
operating software provides the user/
designer the ability to design, wire (in
the soft domain), and troubleshoot a
complete digital audio system. The user
can then control all the parameters of
the system or create custom panels, or
even devices, to provide solutions not
previously available.
The MWare operating software
provides system diagnostics, system
design, audio devices, and DSP
compiling features, which run under the
familiar Windows™ environment.
