Device Properties

delay unit

The unit of measurement for the delay. This can be seconds (s), samples (z), meters (m) or feet (f).

Max delay (unit)

The delay (in the selected units) for all taps.

Note: Selecting a long delay consumes more DSP memory resources, and reduces the resolution of the knob. A short delay consumes less DSP memory, and increases the resolution of the knob.

Tips:

The word max is included in the description because this setting indicates the maximum delay time for all the taps. For example, if there are 16 output wiring nodes (taps) on a 5ms MultiTap device, 5ms is the maximum time it will take for signals to flow through all 16 outputs.
You are not restricted to the delays available from the knob, you can always type in a precise value.

Tap count

The number of delay taps. The range is 1 to 32.

An output wiring node is added to the device block for each delay tap.

Controls


Advanced properties
Device sample rate	Sets the sample rate that the device will use to sample incoming signals. By default, this is set to the system sample rate, which is specified as part of the project properties. You can view the Project Properties by clicking Project Properties on the File menu. You can manually specify the sample rate by clicking the button to change it to the button, and then typing a value.
		The device will use the system sample rate.
		The user will specify the sample rate manually.
		This is a composite device. Different sample rates have been selected for the child devices.
	Tip: If you reduce the sample rate for a device, it will consume less DSP resources.
Device latency calculation script	This setting does not normally need to be changed. Only change this setting when under instruction from MediaMatrix Technical Support.
Role assign	The role that this device belongs to. Devices in your design are allocated to roles (either manually, or automatically by NWare). Roles are then assigned to MediaMatrix hardware devices for processing during deployment. You can manually assign a device to a role by clicking the button to change it to the button, and then selecting a role name in the list.
		NWare will decide which role this device belongs to.
		The user will specify a role manually.
		Multiple devices have been selected for assignment to a role; some of the devices have already been assigned to a role manually and others have not.
DSP assign	The DSP chip within the node that will process this device. You can manually assign a device to a DSP by clicking the button to change it to the button, and then selecting a DSP in the list.
		NWare will decide which DSP this device belongs to.
		The user will specify a DSP manually.
		This is a composite device. Different DSPs have been selected for the child devices.

Delay comp combiner

When selected, ensures that signals arriving at each of the input wiring nodes are fed into the device at exactly the same time.

If some signals arrive before others, delays are added to the signals that arrive earlier to ensure that they are synchronized with the signals that arrive later.
