Configure and Wire the Xilica Processors DSP Modules
Next, the user will click to open up the Neutrino-N processor module and as shown below
– the processors schematic
configuration is displayed. To keep things simple here we show a simplistic DSP design using Analog Input, Network
Input, EQ, Matrix, Analog Output, and Network Output modules.
Besides all the parameter, preset, and control programming work that would normally be done, our focus here is the
preparation for adding a 2x2 I/O - Rio R22 Dante interface to the input side of our processor and a 4x4 I/O - Rio R44
Dante interface to the output side of our Neutrino-N processor.
Above we have wired/connected 8 analog inputs to the Matrix (just to complete the analog side of things) and
2
network audio inputs
to the Matrix (which will tie our Rio R22 Dante interface audio to the Matrix).
We could add
processing modules to those 2 network audio input channels if desired - but here we have not. All inputs are matrix
routed to the analog output module as shown
. Plus we have routed 4 channels from the Matrix to the Network
Output module
in order to send those 4 audio channels to a destination point via Ethernet cable using Dante
network audio. There the Dante network audio will be connected to our Rio R44-P interface which will break out and
network audio into analog audio at the destination location.
Once the procedures in
(7-a)
above are complete the user moves on to
(7-b)
below on page 8 -
The Dante
Controller Software
- to complete the Rio R22 & R44 Dante interface configuration, audio routing, and device
management.
Note:
All Xilica Neutrino and Uno Series processor models use a max 32x32 Matrix as indicated above. Thus you are able
to Matrix mix up to 16 analog inputs plus up to 16 Dante network audio input channels to the analog output module.
We do not need a 32x32 matrix bus for our design above but we show and use it above to remind users that the
32x32 matrix is the key to realizing how flexible the I/O and matrix routing capabilities are on our Neutrino Series
processors and in particular on our less expensive Uno Series processors. Especially where Dante enabled versions
of both processors is concerned and in particular - when you are using one of our 16x16 analog I/O / 16x16 Dante
network audio I/O Neutrino-N or Uno-N models.
