Extron electronic DMP 64 manual Ducking Configuration, ACurrent source indicator, CDuck Targets

Ducking Configuration

Ducking is configured in a dialog box that opens when an active ducking processor block is double-clicked (see figure 37 on the previous page).

ACurrent source indicator

Shows the input selected as the ducking source. Ducker settings affect the input channel shown here. When a ducker dialog is opened for a channel, the current source defaults to that channel. The current source can also be selected by the priority readout/source selector (see below).

BEnable mic/line source checkbox

When checked, ducking is enabled for the current source and the ducker processor block is lit. When unchecked, ducking is disabled for the current source. The ducker processor block is unlit.

CDuck Targets:

Shows all potential input targets. Only inputs that are checked are ducked. The current source is not available as a target (a source cannot duck itself). If the current source

is designated as a target of another input channel, that input channel is not available (a target cannot be the source).

DSettings:

Used to configure the parameter settings for the ducker source. When a ducker block is copied, these settings are transferred.

Threshold — Sets the input signal level, in dB, the ducking source must exceed before ducking begins. If ducking does not occur quickly enough to avoid loss of speech or program material from the ducking source, decrease this setting. If ducking occurs too soon, allowing background noise to trigger ducking, increase the setting.

The range is -60 to 0 dB in 1 dB increments. Default is -30 dB.

Attack Time — Adjusts the time to duck the targets once the threshold is exceeded. The range is 0 to 3000 milliseconds in 1 millisecond increments. Default is 1 millisecond.

Hold Time — Determines the time, in milliseconds, after a ducking source signal drops below the threshold before ducking ceases.

The range is 0 to 10000 milliseconds in 1 millisecond increments. Default is 1000 milliseconds (1 second).

Release — Determines how long, in milliseconds, after the ducking source level is below the threshold and the hold time is met, the ducking targets take to restore signal levels.

The range is 10 to 10000 milliseconds in 1 millisecond increments. Default is 1000 milliseconds (1 second).
