Group masters — The DMP 64 provides the capability to consolidate gain or mute control throughout the system. Any gain or mute block within the Graphical User Environment can be selected and added to a group master, which can then be controlled by a single master fader and mute control. Each group master can have up to 16 blocks, and up to 32 group masters can be created.

Soft limits — Soft limits can be applied to group master faders. Minimum and maximum limits can be specified and controlled via RS-232 serial control.

Source signal presence and clipping LEDs — The DMP 64 provides indicator LEDs on the front panel for each input and output providing real-time monitoring of signal presence. A separate set of LEDs illuminates as a warning when signal clipping is detected.

Flexible control options — The DMP 64 can be controlled using the DSP Configurator Software and a PC connection to the IP Link Ethernet port, the RS-232 serial port, or the USB 2.0 port on the front panel.

Front panel USB configuration port — Enables configuration without having to access the rear panel.

RS-232 serial control port — Using serial commands, the DMP 64 can be controlled and configured via the Extron Windows®-based control program, or integrated into third-party control systems using Extron Simple Instruction Set (SIS) commands. With two RS-232 serial ports plus the IP Link Ethernet port, the DMP 64 offers possibilities for control in single and divisible room applications.

Two RS-232 ports — The DMP 64 is equipped with both primary and secondary RS232 serial ports for divided room applications.

IP Link® Ethernet monitoring and control — Engineered to meet the needs of professional A/V environments, IP Link enables the DMP 64 to be proactively monitored and managed over a LAN, WAN, or the Internet, using standard TCP/IP protocols.

Versatile mounting options Rack-mountable 1U, half rack width metal enclosure.

Universal power supply — The 100-240 VAC, 50-60 Hz, international power supply provides worldwide power compatibility.
