Device Designer Overview
The Device Designer comprises of various tools and interfaces that are used to create and run audio processing systems on hardware. The Device Designer contains the canvas and modules needed to create the signal processing template, while the SFD interface handles most of the target and audio object interactions.
When you launch a project in GTT, the Device Designer screen appears, which includes the following elements:
- Ribbon and Group: The ribbon is composed of six groups, each of which represents a subset of program functionality. In addition to these programs, there are also additional contextual programs that automatically appear depending on what is currently selected.
- Devices List: This section displays the list of projects. In addition, you can add and delete a device.
- Toolbox: This section display core levels of processing, such as block length conversion, merger/splitter, and sample rate conversion within the audio processing pipeline.
- Device Operations: This section contains several functions related to physical/virtual devices like Load Device Config, Edit Device, Send Device Config, Send Signal Flow, Export SFD, and Control Ids.
- Properties Panel: A Device Template is a combination of three layers – Physical Layer, Virtual Core, and Core Object. When you select one of the cores, the properties of the core are displayed on the right side. If required you can modify the core properties.
- Device View: The workspace is used to add devices and program the device core. You can use the magnifier function to adjust and change the size of the design workspace.
