ONFIGURING WITH THE

DDRC-24

P

LUGIN

The DDRC-24 processor is configured with the

DDRC-24

plugin / user interface program. Configuration of the

DDRC-24 using the plugin must be done prior to performing Dirac Live calibration. This section provides a
summary of the plugin and how to use it.

During

initial

configuration of the processor, it is strongly recommended that any connected

amplification be powered off.

Upon starting the plugin, it brings up a screen with various controls and a main configuration area:

This section describes the key features of the plugin and provides an application-specific guide to configuring it.
For detailed

information about each of the plugin’s features, see Section
