Beat Divider Input Processor

Beat Divider Input Processor detects the BPM from the assigned input slot and then divides or multiplies the BPM. The divided or multiplied BPM can then create a dynamic visual beat to be used as a media source inside of Dylos. The BPM information can be applied to Dylos content by using the Sync tab or assigned to a Chase cuelist. Beat Divider Input Processors can only use information from another Input Slot.

Beat Divider Multiplies or Divides the beat BPM of the selected input source. Allowed Source Types Input Slot (with BPM information)
