The DSP Configurator program always starts in
Emulate m
ode. In
Emulate m
ode,
you can perform all of the functions available in the DSP Configurator program,
without connecting a switcher to the computer, and save all of the ties and
settings to a configuration file on your PC. When you open the file via the DSP
Configurator program, the program restores all ties and settings as the current
configuration (emulated if in
Emulate
mode or live, in the switcher, if in
Live
mode)
and makes presets saved in the file available for recall.

Live
mode, after making ties or setting processors in

mode, you need to synchronize the switcher and the DSP Configurator program.

configuration
•
Push
data from the DSP Configurator program to the switcher, overwriting ties,
settings, and presets in the switcher

mode and then tailor the audio settings in real time,
