  • Patent number: 9749072
    Abstract: This disclosure describes a system that implements a multi-channel command and data processing device for multichannel data processing and transmission systems that are designed to connect to different types of data sources and sinks and describes a device configured to implement a novel endpoint parameter management architecture for generic devices. The system uses a multi-channel command and data processing device with one or more inputs and one or more outputs, with a processor and a memory, in communication with a data storage that manages endpoint parameters of one or more input devices and one or more output devices. The system further includes a data terminal and a plurality of endpoints.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 9628206
    Abstract: The present disclosure describes a system using an audio mixer for managing endpoint parameters of an input audio device and an output audio device. The system includes a data terminal, multiple endpoints, and the audio mixer, where the data terminal provides multiple data files including configuration parameters of endpoints. The endpoints include a first endpoint and a second endpoint. The audio mixer is configured to receive the data files from the data terminal, process the data files to obtain a first set of configuration parameters corresponding to the first endpoint and a second set of configuration parameters corresponding to the second endpoint, convert the first set and the second set of configuration parameters into a predefined common data format, and organize the predefined common data structure into a generic data structure.
