Digital Alert Systems MultiPlayer™ Installation and
DASDEC™ Integration
Introduction
The Digital Alert Systems MultiPlayer (model DASMP) is uniquely designed four-channel (designated as Ports 1 thru 4) audio
player and program switcher for either radio or television facilities serving multiple program streams. The MultiPlayer works in
conjunction with a DASDEC and optional MultiStation™ software to provide completely independent EAS audio playout for up to
four discrete channels of EAS playback and program switching either simultaneously, sequentially, or with staggered start times
– the DASDEC handles EAS playout and switching for the 5th channel. This means a DASDEC and DASMP combination can
air any of the five channels at any time The DASDEC host communicates to character generators for television applications and
since MultiPlayer is a network based device it can be placed anywhere on a network accessible by the host DASDEC.
Each port on the MultiPlayer can be configured for either AES digital or analog mono, playback and program switching. Both
options use standard XLR’s. In addition the MultiPlayer expands the number of DASDEC GPI/O’s with four GPI’s and two
GPO’s per port available on a 10 position removable terminal strip.

IMPORTANT CONFIGURATION NOTES
Under DASDEC MultiStation™ control Station 1 is hardcoded to MultiPlayer Port 1. Station 2 is hardcoded to MultiPlayer Port 2
and so on. Station 5 is tied to the DASDEC internal audio program switch(es) as depicted in Figure 1.
Current MultiPlayer software supports AES at 48KHz, 32 KHz, and 44.1KHz.
