1. GENERAL DESCRIPTION
1.1. RELEASE NOTES
Data Sheet Version Date Revised Description
1.0 2023-06-23 TN First release for SAVI DSP.One
The SAVI DSP.One is a Digital Signal Processor that requires no licensing or additional software. Features a
physical 16 x 16 I/O and SAVI Link, a standards-based audio over IP system, for a possible 16 x 32 conguration.

DSP.ONE USER GUIDE

Rev 6/23/23
This User Guide details SAVI’s new DSP.One. This Digital Signal Processor provides matrix switching of up to
16 physical inputs and outputs. Additionally, SAVI Link provides access to any digital SAVI audio stream as an
input and for digitizing any output for integration into a SAVI project. For questions not answered here, be sure to
contact SAVI Support!
2. GETTING STARTED
2.1. REQUIREMENTS
SAVI’s DSP.One is fully integrated into the overall SAVI architecture but is extremely capable in a conguration
without a SAVI Server Pro. As such, the only hardware needed for this setup is the DSP.One, speakers, and one or
more sources.
Additionally, while the DSP.One does not require internet access, it does require connection to a local network
for access to the User Interface. It also requires any device with access to a modern internet browser, such as a
tablet, laptop, or desktop. The DSP UI is not designed to be used on a small screen device, such as a phone.
Warning: The DSP.One must be connected to a network when powered on
to complete the startup process!
Lastly, the DSP.One is designed to focus completely on matrix switching and mixing. Therefore, it does not have
any amplied outputs and will require either powered speakers or a separate amplier (such as SAVI’s AMP.One).
All 16 outputs provide fully balanced line level audio.

3. INTERFACE
The DSP.One interface is divided into three main areas:
1. Scene Toolbar: (on the top) This contains all saved Scenes, the New Scene icon, and the Undo button.
2. Conguration Zone: (in the middle) This is where all Cong Cards appear when selecting an I/O Card from
the Carousel.
3. Carousel: (on the bottom) Here is where you will nd all I/O Cards for the selected type, as well as the Type
Catalog. The Carousel is collapsed by default and can be opened or closed by clicking the arrow on the left
side.
In the Conguration Zone, each Cong Card has access to the same ellipsis menu.
Here you can copy all settings from one Cong Card to paste to another individually
or to all actively selected cards. There is also an option to undo the last single settings
change, though that may affect multiple conguration settings. Undo may be used
multiple times to undo a number of changes.

4. THE CAROUSEL AND TYPE SELECTOR
The Carousel is the starting point for any project. Start on the left side of the Type Selector and work your way
through the audio ow. Or Start at the end and work your way back.
The Inputs option is selected by default, but you can select any of the available options to change the Carousel
to that type.
Each I/O Card selected in the Carousel will reveal the corresponding Cong Card in the Conguration Zone
above. Additionally, selecting one of the Type Catalog options will show those I/O Cards in the Carousel.
