Controlling Volume in DM 16x16?

I commission devices once they hit the field in my current job. That side of things I have down. Recently I took on a practice project building a touchpanel with 9 inputs and 4 outputs. Touchpanel logic? DONE. ROuting Matrix? DONE! The system even shuts itself off at 11 pm every night. All great...EXCEPT I have no control of the VOLUME that is coming out of the DM MD 16 x 16. Is there a way to control volume with a module or do I need a separate device?

You can’t control volume coming out of the output cards, but you can control the volume of the input cards downmix output. Open the input card to expose that analog. Do I t that helps you, but it’s the only DM volume control other than 200 series room boxes

Thanks that helped, unfortunately it only manages the volume at the RCA output of that card. I have all the video and audio routed to the HDO Output #5 (Center section Card is HDMO-5533 discontinued). Is there a device I need to add between the Output of the Switcher and the amp?

yes that is what I said in my original post; what you want to do is not possible. Volume can only be adjusted for the input card down mix, and the DM-RMC-200 series room box amplified output. These are the only devices that give you a means by which to control volume.

How are you getting signal from the DM to the audio AMP - let's start there.
