analog input signal is digitized and available for processing. The digital signal
is processed by five different DSP algorithms: parametric equalization,
acoustic echo cancellation, noise cancellation, feedback reduction, and echo
suppression (non linear processing).
Continuing through the signal path as shown in the next figure, the input
signal continues through the AGC (automatic gain control), dynamics
processing, an automixer, an audio fader, and finally through the input delay.
Each analog input signal is processed to generate three different versions of
the processed input signal that can be used simultaneously in the matrix:
1. Conferencing version,
2. Sound reinforcement version, and
3. Recording/ungated version
The AGC, dynamics processor, and input fader are linked together on all three
audio paths and apply the same gain to the signal paths based on an analysis
of the signal earlier in the signal path.
The automixer processing is only applied to the conferencing and sound
reinforcement signal paths to ensure that there is an 'un'-automixed version of
the input signal available for recording/ungated applications.
