Event Concept 

 
The 

D*AP4 VAP

 incorporates  a sophisticated event management system. 

Events may be combined to perform actions. The 

D*AP4 VAP

 offers  these event types: 

 

Preset Events

 for System set up, Interfaces, Routing, Audio Processing etc. 

Parameter Events

 to control specific parameters of the 

VAP

 

Measurement Events

 to control the loudness measurement 

I/O Events

 for GPOs 

Bypass Events

 for pre-configured bypass scenarios 

 

These events may be combined with 

Actions

 which are fired by 

Triggers. 

 
Triggers are defined by a logical combination (AND, OR, XOR) of two random trigger sources. 
A trigger source may be GPIs, hotkeys of the 

X*AP RM

1

 remote panel, network commands, parameters, 

other active events, other active triggers (nested trigger), or device status information (e.g. sync lost). 
 
 

Getting Started – quick start guide 

 
Before the 

D*AP4 VAP

 can be used, there are some basic configuration steps which must be followed in the 

order set out below. This example assumes you will process one physical condenser microphone and feed 
the signal to your digital mixing desk that runs at 96kHz sampling rate. 

 
*  Connect the mic to the XLR CHA input of Interface 2 
*  Connect the XLR AES/EBU OUT connector to your digital desk 
*  Connect the BNC SYNC IN to the Word Clock output of your desk 
*  Hook up the device to your PC network 
 

Consult your IT administrator for assistance if you are not sure about this procedure 

 

- Connect it to a switch or hub or directly to a PC / LapTop by an Ethernet cable 
  (some PCs need a cross over cable when connected 1:1) 

 

- Find an unused IP address - ask your administrator! 

 

- Assign it that IP address and set the network mask accordingly, a gateway is optional  
  (see next page for details) 

*  Open a browser (Latest stable FireFox recommended) and connect with the device 
 

- Type in the IP address as an URL 

*  Set the 

sync source

  

 

- SYSTEM > Setup > Sync Source Priority > 

Choice 1=Sync-In WCLK

 

   leave all other 

Choices x=OFF

 (for the beginning) 

 

- SYSTEM > Setup > System Clock > Sample Rate (kHz) = 

Follow Source

 

*  Define the program configuration 
 

- SYSTEM > Setup > 

Voice Channel Mode=2 x Mono

 

*  Setup the microphone input 
 

- INTERFACES > Analog Mic > M1 > 

Input=Mic, Enable Preamp Gain=On (check box), 

  Preamp Gain=40dB, Pad=OFF, Phantom Power=On (check box)

 

*  Set the routing to the Audio Processor (DSP) 
 

- ROUTING > MIC > 

MIC 1=DSP 1

 

*  Set the routing from the Audio Processor (DSP) 
 

- ROUTING > DSP > 

DSP 1=AES 1

 

Now you should have the mic signal on your desk and you may start experimenting with the various 
parameters of the audio processing blocks.
