Wired and Wireless Microphones

Gooseneck microphones, tabletop microphones, button microphones, and other wired microphones that do not provide positional data when detecting audio are compatible with Automate VX. Wireless microphones such as lavalier microphones are compatible with Automate VX as well. Wired and wireless microphones require a DSP (Digital Signal Processor) to operate with Automate VX.

NOTE: Pendant microphones are not compatible with Automate VX.

DSPs

A DSP is required if wired or wireless microphones that do not provide positional data are used with Automate VX. These microphones are routed through a DSP as either gated on when detecting audio or gated off when no audio is detected. Automate VX then uses these gating properties to determine which camera shots should be shown.

The following DSPs are compatible with Automate VX:

Note: The channel limits listed for each DSP are the maximum audio channels that Automate VX can use with the DSP. For more information about DSPs and configuring them to communicate with Automate VX, refer to DSP Configuration.
