About this Guide

This guide contains installation, configuration, and operating information for the Extron

DMP128 FlexPlus ProDSP Digital Audio Matrix Processor. In this guide, the DMP 128

FlexPlus may also be referred to as “DMP 128,” “the mixer,” or “device”.

About the DMP 128 FlexPlus

The DMP 128 FlexPlus series of compact Dante Digital Matrix Processors features twelve

FlexInput channels with full DSP, including AEC, and Dante connectivity, in only a half rack

space. The DMP 128 FlexPlus has an extensive mix matrix, a USB audio interface, and

analog compatibility. The V-model includes up to eight VoIP lines. The DMP 128 FlexPlus

also features an ACP bus for audio control panels, an expansion port for bidirectional digital

audio connection with a DTP CrossPoint or another DMP, eight audio file players, and

configurable macros.

Features

• Two models with 60 total inputs and 32 total outputs — The DMP 128 FlexPlus

offers signal routing and management for a wide range of sound system applications:

• Inputs: 48 Digital via Dante or Expansion Bus, 4 Analog balanced/unbalanced mic/

line level, 8 Aux for USB or VoIP

• Outputs: 16 Digital via Dante or Expansion Bus, 8 Analog balanced/unbalanced

line level, 8 Aux for USB, VoIP or File Players

• 48x24 Dante audio networking with Dante Domain Manager and AES67 support

— Dante audio networking provides scalability for creating larger audio matrixes over a

local area network using standard protocols. A built in two port Gigabit switch can be

configured to support primary and redundant Dante audio networks.

• Twelve channels of AEC - acoustic echo cancellation — The DMP 128 FlexPlus

includes twelve independent channels of high performance AEC, as well as selectable

noise cancellation. Extron AEC features advanced algorithms that deliver fast echo

canceler convergence for optimal intelligibility in situations that challenge AEC

performance.

• All models include a USB Audio interface, providing up to four channels of

digital audio sends and returns — Support for USB Audio simplifies implementation

of systems with either soft-codec conferencing or computer-based audio and enables

use of the same interface for both small- and large-scale systems.

DMP 128 FlexPlus • Introduction 2

• V-model includes up to eight VoIP lines that support generic Session Initiation

Protocol - SIP 2.0 connectivity per RFC 3261 — The DMP FlexPlus C V AT is

compatible with select VoIP systems and can be used for a single VoIP line or as a VoIP

farm for up to eight rooms.

• Compact half rack size — Allows more input and output channels, with more

processing power, to be installed in less space.

• FlexInput capability on main inputs — All twelve main inputs offer FlexInput

capability to select a Dante channel, expansion input, or one of the four mic/line inputs.

This allows incorporating the full range of DSP capabilities, including AEC, for incoming

Dante channels.

• Optional ACP Series audio control panels provide intuitive audio system control

— Direct interface with the DMP 128 FlexPlus offers flexible audio control for systems

that do not require a full control system.

• Digital I/O ports for remote control or feedback — Two digital input ports and two

digital output ports are provided, so that the DMP 128 FlexPlus can be programmed to

sense and then respond to external triggers such as mic activation, muting, and recall of

presets.

• Macros allow the sequencing of commands that can be sent to the local device

or external devices via the LAN port — A single DMP 128 FlexPlus can act as the

central interface from a control system, sending commands to other DMP, AXI AT, and

DTP CrossPoint devices.

• Aux inputs and outputs can be individually configured as audio file players,

USB Audio, or in the V-model, VoIP lines — Audio file players can be allocated to

any aux input and used to play back prerecorded content. USB Audio and VoIP can be

allocated to any aux input and any aux output. In these cases, the aux inputs function

like returns and the aux outputs function like sends. For USB audio, that would be

sends and returns to/from a room PC running a software codec, and VoIP would be

sends and returns to/from the central VoIP PBX.

• Advanced audio processing on all eight analog outputs and all 16 direct Dante/

Expansion outputs — Up to 24 speaker zones can be implemented on one DMP

128 FlexPlus with full processing for each zone, making it ideal for full mix-minus

implementations.

• Extensive mix matrixing in every DMP 128 FlexPlus allows all inputs to be

discretely routed to any or all outputs — Allows all 12 main inputs, 8 aux inputs,

48 Dante inputs and 16 virtual bus returns to be discretely routed to any or all of the 8

analog outputs, 4 aux outputs, 24 Dante outputs and the 16 virtual bus sends.

• 16 virtual processing loops allow for great flexibility in sub-mixing and

processing — Processing common to many inputs can be applied using a single

virtual channel.

• Up to eight audio file players can be used to play back audio files for system

set-up or as part of the system design — Use the provided pink noise, white

noise, and sine wave files, or import your own WAV, MP3, WMA, AIFF, AAC, or RAW

files. Supported file formats are automatically converted to 24-bit, 48 kHz RAW for

approximately 20 minutes of playback time and saved to the onboard storage.

• Low latency — Powerful DSP chips maximize performance, resulting in latency

that is very low, from input to output, regardless of the number of active channels or

processes. While latency increases in channels with AEC enabled, and marginally with

the automixer, overall latency remains low. This keeps audio in sync with video, and

prevents distractions to presenters or performers resulting from delayed live audio.

EXP Port — One RJ-45 port allows two units to be connected via a shielded CAT 6

cable to form a larger matrix system (1 foot cable included). Any Extron device with EXP

capability can exchange audio with a DMP128FlexPlus via the EXP port.

C

AT Ports — Two RJ-45 ports form a Gigabit switch for use with a Dante network. The

AT ports use Dante protocol for digital audio transport (AT) and allow the DMP 128

FlexPlus to connect to a Dante audio network to form a larger matrix (Dante Controller

on page111). The 2-port switch can be configured as two primary and secondary

ports for redundant Dante configurations. In redundant configuration, audio traffic is

duplicated. Port 1 is the primary port (PRI) and Port 2 is the secondary switch (SEC)

(see Redundant Configuration on page118).

LAN Ports — One (non-V-model) or two (V-model) RJ-45 ports provide a Gigabit

network connection for control and VoIP traffic. The host PC or control system and the

DMP 128 FlexPlus must be connected to the same network. Two LEDs indicate status.

NOTE: Only the DMP 128 FlexPlus V-model has two LAN/VoIP ports. The Non-V-

model only has a single LAN port.

LAN 1 defaults:

IP Address Subnet Mask Default Gateway DHCP

192.168.254.254 255.255.255.0 0.0.0.0 OFF

LAN 2 defaults:

IP Address Subnet Mask Default Gateway DHCP

192.168.1.254 255.255.255.0 0.0.0.0 OFF

There are three ways the dual LAN ports can be configured on DMP 128 FlexPlus

V-models:

1. Control and VoIP traffic on one LAN port — Both control and VoIP traffic can be

transported via a single LAN port.

NOTE: By default, control and VoIP traffic are both transported on LAN 1.

2. Control and VoIP traffic on one LAN port using a VLAN — Both control and

VoIP traffic can be transported via a single physical LAN port while utilizing a VLAN

for VoIP traffic.

3. Control and VoIP traffic on separate LAN ports — Control and VoIP traffic can

be transported on separate LAN ports with unique IP configurations.

G

USB Audio Port — One mini USB type B port connects to a computer and allows the

DMP 128 FlexPlus to function as a configurable USB audio interface with a Windows or

Mac computer. Available sample rates are 48 kHz/16-bit (see Configure USB Audio

on page82).
