SCROLL TO FOLLOWFour TDM16 inputs receive up to 64 channels of digital audio.
The Router connects the selected processing modules. Cortex-M0 configures their parameters.
Eight TDM8 outputs deliver up to 64 channels to external conversion and amplification.

Read the architecture overviewSpatial rendering / real installations
The desired sound position and the installed loudspeaker position are different things. Rendering connects the two through a configured output layout.
Input Layout describes the azimuth and elevation of each audio track.
Output Layout describes loudspeaker positions, distances and channels. Distance uses a fixed listening reference.
Calculate Decoder creates the decoder configuration; Sync To Device sends it to SD64. Continue with on-site verification.

From installation to parameters
Configure the installed loudspeakers instead of assuming a single room geometry. The software exposes azimuth, elevation, distance and output channel for the actual system design.
The listening reference defines distance; this illustration does not imply automatic listener tracking or show a measured acoustic result.
