Abstract
A large mixing network is implemented by distributing the processing of digital audio data to multiple digital processing modules where each module has multiple digital signal processors. The data is multiplexed from all audio stations to all distributed processing modules. The task of transferring audio data between audio bus and distributed processing module (DPM) and the task of processing audio data at the DPM are performed in parallel. Further, the data is multiplexed in large bursts of samples to increase the efficiency of audio data processing by the digital signal processors at the DPM.
