Web-GUI - Control
After logging into the DMP168, the user will be directed to the Control page. Configuration of the matrix can be done here, as well as adjusting levels for inputs, outputs, buses and groups, and recalling presets as needed. Please note: Changes made in the Control page, and in other pages will be reflected globally. They will be updated in the respective section of the Control page.
In the upper right corner, the DSP utilisation percentage is displayed. Utilising the DSP features will lead to an increase in this percentage; if it rises too high, audio distortion may occur. It is crucial to keep an eye on the DSP utilisation to ensure it remains below 93%. A reference chart indicating the percentage increases is provided below:
Control (Matrix): For any audio sources connected to be able to output a signal, it must be routed in the Control page. Input channels are listed as columns along the x-axis, and output channels are listed as rows along the y-axis. The last right most 8 x columns in the matrix are reserved for the internal Bus channels, enabling advanced audio routing options.
To route a signal, navigate the to the desired input channel. In the column under the input name, find the row that corresponds to the desired output channel, and press the button that intersects the desired column and row. When a channel has enabled individual L&R control, the matrix will spilt that column's or row's buttons into a 2x2 grid to allow for the additional control options.
In the following examples, the x-axis will be labelled 1-24 left to right, and the y axis will be labelled 1-9 top to bottom. L&R individual controls will be labelled as the overall button and the sub button for the L&R row and column, following the previous numbering conventions (e.g., 1S1,2S2):

DMP168 USER MANUAL
DSP Input/Output Settings: To modify a channel's DSP settings, select the desired channel from the list. The following controls can then be modified: High Pass Filter:
A High Pass Filter removes low frequencies while allowing high frequencies to pass through. Setting the `Freq' will attenuate all frequencies below the set frequency. The slope determines the rate of attenuation, measured in decibels (dB) per octave. Setting this to zero will disable the High Pass Filter. Drastic attenuation over a small range of frequencies, or gradual attenuation over a larger range of frequencies, can be achieved by adjusting the slope.
Low Shelf: A Low Shelf represents a flat raise or drop of all frequencies below the `Freq' value. This leaves the frequencies above this spot untouched by the Low Shelf.
PEQ Band 1-4: Each parametric EQ (PEQ) allows you to make a cut or a boost to a band on the frequency spectrum. `Freq' will set the centre frequency on the band which will be the centre of the bell shaped boost or cut. Gain will set the amount of boost or cut being applied. Q refers to how narrow or wide the boost or cut is. The higher the Q value, the narrower the bandwidth will be. Similarly, the lower the Q value, the wider the bandwidth will be. A visual example showing the effect the Q value has on the shape of the curve is shown below.
High Shelf:
A High Shelf represents a flat raise or drop of all frequencies above the `Freq' value. This leaves the frequencies below this spot untouched by the High Shelf.
Low Pass Filter:
A Low Pass Filter removes high frequencies while allowing low frequencies to pass through.
Setting the `Freq' will attenuate all frequencies above the set frequency.
The slope determines the rate of attenuation, measured in decibels (dB) per octave. Setting this to zero will disable the Low Pass Filter. Drastic attenuation over a small range of frequencies, or gradual attenuation over a larger range of frequencies, can be achieved by adjusting the slope.
To quickly apply a DSP configuration to all input/output channels, set up the desired DSP configuration then press the corresponding `Apply to All Inputs/Outputs' button. This will apply the currently selected DSP configuration to all input/output channels.
To reset the currently selected DSP configuration, press the `Reset Selected Input/Ouput' button.
To reset all DSP configurations, press the `Reset All Inputs/Outputs' button.
Usage:
Using the DSP, it's possible to configure many different setups, e.g., a subwoofer channel by changing the Audio Mode from the Output page and using the Low Shelf to EQ the signal.

RS-232 Configuration and Telnet Commands
DMP168 USER MANUAL
The DMP168 can be controlled via serial and TCP/IP. The default RS-232 communication settings are:
Baud rate: 57600 Data bits: 8 Stop bits: 1 Parity bit: none The following pages list all available serial / IP commands.
Commonly Used Serial Commands
There are several commands that are commonly used for control and testing:
STATUS
Status will give feedback on the switcher such as outputs on, type of connection, etc.
PON
Power on
POFF
Power off
OUTON/OFF
Toggling the main output ON or OFF as required
Example: OUTON (This would turn the main output on)
OUT FRyy
(yy is the input)
Example: OUT FR04 (This would switch the main output to source input 4)
Common Mistakes
· Carriage return: Some programs do not require the carriage return where as other will not work unless sent directly after the string. In the case of some Terminal software the token <CR> is used to execute a carriage return. Depending on the program you are using this token maybe different. Some other examples that other control systems deploy include \r or 0D (in hex)
· Spaces: Blustream commands do not require space between commands unless specified. There may be some programs that require spacing in order to work.
· How the string should look is as follows: OUTON
· How the string may look if spaces are required: OUT{Space}ON
· Baud rate or other serial protocol settings not correct
