selecting Mix-points

Mix-points are controlled by their address. Each mix-point in figure 94 has an individual
address selected and controlled using SIS commands. (A mix-point contains a level
control and a routing control that mutes or unmutes the signal path from the input
mix-point to the output.)
For example, to view the current status of the input 1 to output 1 mix-point
(SIS address: 

20000

) enter:

E

M

X6)

*AU

}

or

E

M20000*AU

}

The response from the DMP 128 is:

DsM20000*1AU

}

if the mix-point is muted, or

E

M20000*0AU

]

if the mix-point is unmuted, connecting the mix-point input with its

output.
To select a mix-point to view its current signal level setting:

E

G

X6)

AU

}

.

If looking at the same input 1 to output 1 mix-point, enter:

E

G20000AU

}

or

where 20000 is the mix-point. The response is:

DsG20000*1948

]

.

Using the

table 2

cross-reference on page 149, the mix-point is set to -10 dB.

signal routing

Mix-point routing is achieved by unmuting the mix-point. To select a mix-point, use the
tables starting on page 175 to find a specific mix-point. In this example, input 1 is routed
to output 1.
Connecting a mix-point input to an output requires the mix-point be unmuted. Using the
formula from above where X6) is the mix-point, to unmute any processor or mix-point use
the command:

E

M

X6)

*0AU

}

.

The input 1 to output 1 mix-point address according to table 3 on page 175 is 20000
making the correct formula

E

M20000*0AU

}

. This routes input 1 to output 1.

To break the signal, use the mute formula:

E

M

X6)

*1AU

}

or

E

M20000*1AU

}

.

In this manner any mix-point can be selected and a connection made between its input
and output, or if a connection has already been made, it can be broken.
