ProDSP, Acoustic Echo Cancellation, and Automixer for Complete Audio System Design and Optimization

All DTP CrossPoint 84 4K models feature Extron ProDSP, the same full-featured, high performance audio signal processing found in the Extron DMP digital signal processors. Extron’s exclusive ProDSP is engineered from the ground up using a powerful 64‑bit floating point DSP engine to provide very wide dynamic range and reduce the potential for clipping. ProDSP also utilizes studio grade 24‑bit audio converters with 48 kHz sampling to maintain audio signal transparency. ProDSP is loaded with a comprehensive selection of powerful, easy‑to‑configure tools to control level, dynamics, filters, delay, ducking, loudness, and feedback suppression.

Truly professional grade DSP allows full audio system design, precise optimization and fine tuning, and proper gain structure. The four mic/line inputs can be matrix mixed into any of the eight stereo output buses to create finely tuned audio zones for the corresponding outputs. In addition, these inputs can be routed to any of the eight “virtual” buses to allow inputs to be processed together as a group, before routing into the output buses. If desired, mic/line input signals can be mixed with the signal processing bypassed. The flexible routing and mixing capabilities of the DTP CrossPoint 84 4K allow system designers to create simple or complex signal management schemes to accommodate a wide variety of system application requirements.

The DTP CrossPoint 84 4K includes four independent channels of high performance AEC – acoustic echo cancellation, as well as selectable noise cancellation, for conferencing applications. AEC is essential for effective remote room-to-room conversations, ensuring clear, natural sounding communication for all participants. Extron AEC features advanced algorithms that deliver fast echo canceler convergence for optimal intelligibility, even in challenging conditions such as double-talk when talkers from both ends are speaking simultaneously, or when near end talkers use wireless microphones. The DTP CrossPoint 84 4K also features an automixer with gated and gain sharing modes for managing up to eight groups of microphone signals. This allows for fine-tuning to avoid the “chopped” sound characteristic of a traditional automixer when a mic is gated off. For a natural sounding mic mix, the automixer also offers a gain sharing mode when the NOM – number of open microphones is bypassed, allowing all mics to gate on.

Setup and optimization is easy with the intuitive DSP Configurator™ Software. The flexible on‑screen layout offers fast access to all digital audio signal processing tools, as well as AEC and noise cancellation settings for the DTP CrossPoint 84 4K. This includes level control, dynamics, filters, delay, ducking, loudness, feedback suppression, and matrix mixing, as well as real-time metering for ERL – echo return loss, ERLE – echo return loss enhancement, and TER – total echo reduction levels.

Integrate with Extron Audio Processors for Larger Systems

An Extron digital audio expansion port is included on all DTP CrossPoint 84 4K models for interfacing with an Extron DMP 128 Plus Digital Matrix Processor. This allows a 16×16 I/O channel transport between devices, and the DMP 128 Plus provides an additional 12 inputs and eight outputs for microphones, multiple speaker zones, assistive listening, and more. Many unique and scalable system designs are possible when linking a DTP CrossPoint 84 4K to a DMP 128 Plus AT in a Dante™ network. As an example, this can be ideal for supporting a large number of microphones in a city council meeting chamber, or in a lecture hall for distance learning.

• Aspect ratio control — For the scaled DTP outputs, the aspect ratio of the video can be controlled by selecting a FILL mode, which provides a full screen output, or a FOLLOW mode, which preserves the original aspect ratio of the input signal.
• Auto Input Memory — When activated for the scaled DTP outputs, the unit automatically stores size, position, and picture settings based on the incoming signal. When the same signal is detected again, these image settings are automatically recalled from memory.
• Output Standby Mode — The unit can be set to automatically mute video and sync output to the display device when no active input signal is detected. This allows the projector or flat-panel display to automatically enter into standby mode to save energy and enhance lamp or panel life.
• Picture controls for brightness, contrast, color, tint, detail, as well as horizontal and vertical positioning, and sizing – DTP outputs
• User presets — Memory presets are available for each input to store and recall optimized image settings.
• Internal video test patterns for calibration and setup — The unit offers several video test patterns for the scaled DTP outputs, to facilitate proper system setup and calibration of display devices.
• Automatic input cable equalization to 100 feet (30 meters) at 1080p/60 with 8‑bit color when used with Extron HDMI Pro cables — Actively conditions incoming HDMI signals to compensate for signal loss when using long cables, low quality cables, or source devices with poor HDMI signal output. 4K and 2560×1600 @ 60 Hz resolutions are equalized to 50 feet (15 meters).
• Automatic HDMI output reclocking — Reshapes and restores timing of digital video signals at each HDMI output, eliminating high frequency jitter to ensure reliable transmission over long cables.
• Provides +5 VDC, 250 mA power on each HDMI output for powering external peripheral devices — Power provided via an HDMI output eliminates the need of a separate power supply for the connected peripheral device.
• Front panel security lockout — Prevents unauthorized use in non-secure environments. In lockout mode, a special button combination is required to operate the matrix switcher from the front panel controller.
• Ethernet monitoring and control — Enables control and proactive monitoring over a LAN, WAN, or the Internet.
• Built‑in Web pages — Enables the use of a standard browser for device monitoring and troubleshooting over an intuitive Web interface.
• RS‑232 control port — Enables the use of serial commands for integration into a control system. Extron products use the SIS™ – Simple Instruction Set command protocol, a set of basic ASCII commands that allow for quick and easy programming.
• Front panel USB configuration port — Enables easy configuration without having to access the rear panel.
• RJ‑45 signal and link LED indicators for DTP ports — Provides a means for validating signal flow and operation, allowing quick identification of connectivity issues.
