User manual QSC AUDIO EX 4000

[. . . ] Designed to be used with QSC's Digital Cinema Amplifiers (DCA) and featuring advanced DSP presets for QSC's Digital Cinema Speakers (DCS), the EX 4000 optimizes loudspeaker performance while simplifying cinema sound system wiring and configuration. [. . . ] The EX 4000 is also compatible with all analog cinema processor formats including Dolby® Digital Surround-EX and DTS-ES and features a 10-channel analog input for integration with 35 mm audio systems. Features · Digital Input for up to 16-Channels of audio · Networked audio I/O via CobraNetTM · Network control and monitoring via SNMP · Serial automation control via RS-232 · Analog Inputs for film processors, non-sync and Mic/line · Master volume and full 1/3 Octave Graphic EQ on all channels (except subwoofer) · Booth Monitor with touch screen control for easy operation · Digital Loudspeaker Crossovers · Three or five screen channels -- Passive and 2, 3 or 4-way crossovers · Compatible with all existing DCA amplifiers -- thousands of DCA equipped screens are ready for full network monitoring and control · Dual power supplies with load sharing for seamless operation in the event of failure · SD Memory card for quick unit swap -- restores all settings · Multiple Bypass modes routes audio around failed components to insure that the show will go on · DSP presets for DCS speakers for great "out of box" performance and reduced set-up time · QSControl and QSCreator allow for the creation of custom control screens and remote access for fault reporting and diagnosis · Easily integrates with existing film processors for dual film/ digital projection systems · CobraNet offers digital non-sync routing and future expansion capability · Continued development of software and firmware will add new capabilities to the existing hardware with easy firmware updates · The EX 4000 is part of a new generation of QSC products designed expressly for the needs of D-Cinema sound systems Digital Signal Processing The EX 4000 digital signal processing capability outperforms traditional analog crossovers and equalizers for optimized speaker performance. Crossover frequency, 1/3 octave graphic EQ, parametric equalization, polarity, delay and gain can be precisely adjusted for each speaker in your system. Advanced crossover presets for QSC DCS speakers speeds system set-up and insures maximum performance. Less Wiring, Faster Set-up DCPs greatly simplify system wiring and set-up, significantly reducing installation time and labor cost. Input to the DCP is provided via standard DB-25 cables from the D-Cinema server and/or 35 mm cinema processor. In addition, the DCP detects all amplifier clipping, protect modes and heat sink temperature for reporting via SNMP or a QSControl Ethernet monitoring system. QSControl and QSCreator allow for the creation of custom control screens and remote access for fault reporting and diagnosis. The NAC 100 Ethernet remote control panel provides remote operation in a multiplex from anywhere on the local network.
