DS100 Architectural specifications The device shall be a specialized 19", 3 RU rack mount audio processor with Audinate Dante audio networking/AES67. It shall provide a Level / Delay audio matrix with up to 128 inputs and up to 64 outputs depending on the installed license model size. The I/O sample rate shall be 48 kHz or 96 kHz, while the basic latency shall be < 1.4 ms @ 48 kHz and < 1.6 ms @ 96 kHz (plus Dante network latency). The input processing shall provide input gain (–120 to +24 dB), switchable polarity (0°/180°), an 8-band PEQ with high/low shelf, as well as an input delay of up to 500 ms and a mute switch. The matrix processing shall provide a mute switch, level control (–120 to +10 dB) and a delay of up to 500 ms for every crosspoint. The output processing shall provide output gain (–120 to +10 dB), switchable polarity (0°/180°), a 16-band PEQ with high/low shelf, as well as a output delay of up to 500 ms and a mute switch. An Ethernet port (RJ45 - LAN 100/1000 Mbps) shall be provided to allow remote control via OCA/AES70 and OSC. Network monitoring shall be supported via SNMP. For future functionality, a USB 3.0 port shall be provided. The device shall be Dante Domain Manager (DMM) ready. The dimensions (H x W x D) shall not exceed 3 RU x 19" x 481 mm (3 RU x 19" x 18.93") and shall weigh no more than 11.2 kg (24.7 lb). Additional software modules shall be available to allow sound object positioning and virtual acoustics. The sound object positioning software module shall allow for static or dynamic (moving) positioning of up to 128 sources. It shall be vector based and should dynamically calculate a dedicated set of parameters (level, time, width, filters) for each object and all relevant loudspeakers. The sound object positioning software module GUI shall allow the sources to be positioned on a graphic representation of the venue. The virtual acoustics software module shall provide up to 64 convolver outputs with an impulse response length of at least 10 seconds. It shall be based on an in-line technology requiring no microphone feedback loops. The proprietary process shall be based on a large number of impulse responses captured in an acoustically well designed room, while a specially designed algorithm shall provide up to 144 convolvers to recreate the response of the originally captured room. The device shall be the DS100 by: d&b audiotechnik GmbH & Co. KG. The software modules shall be the "En-Scene" module for sound object positioning and the "En-Space" module for virtual acoustics, both by d&b audiotechnik GmbH & Co. KG.
