About DME Designer

DME Designer is software that provides an integrated environment where you can build and control
systems that use DME.
Audio systems with DME are built on the computer screen in block diagram format using the DME
Designer software. Information about the inputs/outputs along with the arrangement of components
and their connections is called the "configuration."
The software sends DME settings, along with configuration and parameter data, to the DME unit
through a USB or Ethernet connection. Once the data is transferred, the DME unit can be
disconnected from the computer and used as an independent processor. The DME can also be kept
connected to the computer and controlled in realtime from DME Designer software.
If multiple DME units are connected to the computer, you can use the DME Designer software to build
a configuration that includes those multiple units.

For a DME overview and glossary, see the "DME64N/24N Owner's Manual."
Systems built with DME Designer can have multiple zones within an area and multiple configurations
and scenes within a zone. However, only one area, zone, or configuration can be made active and
edited at a time. When active these are called the
