4.3 Use of « Matrix Control »
« Matrix Control » is a software application to do all settings of one DN3816 (audio inputs settings, audio outputs
settings, priority level, source types, GPI and GPO settings) through a RS232 link (help document included in «
Matrix Control » shows also how to use this software to do all the settings through a TCP/IP connexion by using an
external IP/RS converter).
Depending on the application in use on the application server, « Matrix Control » can be optional or compulsory.
Details for using “Matrix Control” are given in § 0 (Configuring the DN3816).

5.2 Front panel
5.2.1 Ventilation grill
This allows the free circulation of air inside the unit, thus ensuring the internal electronic components do not
overheat.
5.2.2 Green power ON indicator
When lit, the unit is powered on.
5.2.3 Green STATUS indicator
When lit, this indicates that the digital signal processing and control functions of the DN 3816 matrix are
working correctly.
5.2.4 Green input SIGNAL indicators
These indicators light when an audio signal of more than -20 dBm is present at the corresponding inputs.
5.2.5 Red input CLIP indicators
These indicators light when an audio signal of more than -6 dBFS (or 14 dBm) is present at the corresponding
input. For information, 0 dBFS is the absolute maximum acceptable level the digital signal processor input can
handle.
5.2.6 Green output SIGNAL indicators
These indicators light when an audio signal of more than -20 dBm is present at the corresponding output.
5.2.7 Red output CLIP indicators
These indicators light when an audio signal of more than -6 dBFS (or 14 dBm) is present at the corresponding
output. For information, 0 dBFS is the absolute maximum acceptable level the digital signal processor can
handle.
5.2.8 RS232 socket
This 9-pin SUB-D female connector is used to connect a PC to the DN 3816 so the unit can be configured
using the « Matrix Control » configuration software supplied. This connection is also used to update the DN
3816 firmware as necessary.
