Device Properties

input count

The number of input wiring nodes to add to the device.

output count

The number of output wiring nodes to add to the device.

Live Taper

When selected, will make it easier to make fine adjustments at higher gain levels (by decreasing the rate at which the gain changes when it is near the maximum).

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 group

The name of the delay compensation group to which the device belongs. Multiple devices are added to the same group by specifying the group name in the device properties for each of the devices.

Signals arriving at each of the input wiring nodes of each of the devices in the group are fed into the devices at exactly the same time.

Note: In order for this feature to work, the delay comp combiner check box must be selected.

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.
