Hypex DSP module(s)

Here is a pic, made by Dr Frank Brenner.

An externally hosted image should be here but it was not working when we last tested it.

This would be even nicer if one could put NCores inside.
The problem is NCore only comes in 400. It would be welcome (and cheaper to build) if Hypex offered Ncore 100 and 200 as well.
 
DLCP chaining

Actually the dual setup has been stable after lasr firmware update

Just to confirm, that with 2.1 firmware, the DLCPs run well in chained mode.
We use a MASTER / FOLLOWER concept with two PowerBoxes pro 4400 i.o. to feed the 8-ch active setup LX521.4

Both DLCPs are connected to a Hypex input board.
Only the MASTER box carries a LCD/Pushbutton/remote control board.
Both DLCPs are interconnected via a single CAT 5 cable (commands and music/AES).

A few tips:

-during setup, Hypex Filter Designer software connected via USB port, select the number of input channels to 4 on both DLCPs, even if you use less channels.

-check for proper switch positions on the input board acc DLCP manual.

-set both input selectors to "Auto Detect". The second DLCP synchronizes to this input selection

-feed your digital signal to the first DLCP in the chain (in our setup: MASTER box) : AES/EBU or SPDIF (or USB)

-the first DLCP (MASTER box) will auto detect the input signal type (eg SPDIF)

-the second DLCP (FOLLOWER box) will auto detect the input signal on the Cat5 interconnect: AES

-forcing the synchronized DLCPs input to one type will (except for AES) make the second DLCP silent, because the second DLCP sees only AES signals , coming in via the Cat 5 cable. You must allow the second DLCP to seek for this AES signal (by choosing AutoDetect)

-optical is not detected by AutoDetect. (to be fixed with next firmware update)

Hope this helps you , when chaining DLCPs in a multichannel setup.
