[. . . ] DCP 300 Digital Cinema Hardware User Manual DCP 300 ­ Digital Cinema Processor TD-000285-00 REV B *TD-000285-00* IMPORTANT SAFETY PRECAUTIONS AND EXPLANATION OF SYMBOLS WARNING! The lighting flash with arrowhead symbol within an equilateral triangle is intended to alert the user to the presence of uninsulated "dangerous" voltage within the product's enclosure that may be of sufficient magnitude to constitute a risk of electric shock to humans. The exclamation point within an equilateral triangle is intended to alert the user to the presence of important operating and maintenance (servicing) instructions in this manual. This unit has been engineered and manufactured to assure your personal safety. Improper use can result in potential electrical shock or fire hazards. [. . . ] Retain all packaging for future unit storage or for the unlikely event that service is needed. 2. Install Software Load the DCP Manager disc into a CD-ROM or DVD drive on a Windows® PC or laptop computer. Follow the installation instructions displayed on your computer's screen. Note: DCP Manager must be installed before connecting the DCP 300 to a Windows PC or laptop computer. 3. Configure DCP 300 After DCP Manager is installed, connect a USB cable between the DCP 300 and the computer. Turn the DCP 300 on, launch DCP Manager and follow the prompts on screen. Refer to the Help Files for instructions on how to configure the basic operating parameters of the DCP 300 (source inputs, format, presets, etc). 4. Attach Amplifiers Connect DataPort outputs on the DCP 300 rear panel to DataPort inputs on QSC's DCA or PL3 Series amplifiers using QSC approved DataPort cables. 7 Setup Overview 5. Connect Audio Connect cinema audio sources to the appropriate DCP 300 rear panel input connectors. Main sources can come from digital content servers or analog film processors. Additional analog and digital inputs are provided for alternative content sources, live feeds, DVD players, mic/paging sources etc. Connect the Hearing Impaired and Visually Impaired special mix outputs and/or the Monitor Output feed to appropriate external devices as needed. 6. Connect Automation Connect appropriate external control devices to the DCP 300's automation Inputs. Connect the Logic Outputs and/or Relay Outputs to any external devices to be controlled. 7. Complete Installation Remove protective film covering the touch panel LCD surface. The SD Card provides DCP 300 configuration storage for quick unit service/replacement. 8. Tune System Once the basic DCP 300 operating configuration is defined and all of the connections are in place, it's time to power up the rest of the rack, complete the DSP setup, tune the system and run through final check. Refer to additional information in this Hardware User Manual and in the software Help Files for further setup and configuration details to complete this step. 8 Configuration and Networking The DCP 300 offers a variety of accessibility options for configuring and managing the product and an entire cinema sound system locally or remotely. Local DCP 300 configuration and system management are provided through directly applied connections to the DCP 300 via universal serial bus (USB), the DCP 300 front panel touch-control LCD or through a local Ethernet link (QSControlTM). Remote and system-wide management are possible through more sophisticated network implementations and/or via wide area network (WAN) topologies, Internet access or 3rd party subscription services that make use of the DCP 300 3rd party API or SNMP. Basic configuration of the DCP 300 product is performed through the USB interface on the product rear panel. The system designer connects to the DCP 300's rear panel USB port with a Windows laptop or PC running the DCP Manager software application. [. . . ] These RCA connectors accommodate non-synch sources appropriate for alternative content, advertising, corporate or live event feeds. A USB Type B interface is provided for directly connecting to a Windows® PC or laptop. All configuration and local management of the DCP 300 via DCP Manager software is performed through this portal. Note: all ancillary interfaces use standard cables that are readily available through retailers specializing in computer equipment, musical equipment, pro audio or home electronics. 13 Main Analog Input Connector Pinout 25-pin male D-Sub to 25-pin male D-Sub Pin # 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 Description Chassis ground Left + Left extra Chassis ground Center + Right extra Chassis ground Right + Chassis ground Surround left Surround right + Subwoofer Chassis ground Pin # 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 Shell Description Left Chassis ground Left extra + Center Chassis ground Right extra + Right Chassis ground Chassis ground Surround left + Surround right + Subwoofer + Chassis ground Main Analog Input 12 13 11 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 24 25 23 22 21 20 19 18 17 16 15 14 Auxiliary Analog Input (Surround EX) Pinout 25-pin male D-Sub to 25-pin male D-Sub Pin # 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 Description (not used) (not used) Back surr left (not used) (not used) Back surr right (not used) (not used) Right extra + Surr left Surround right (not used) (not used) Pin # 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 Shell Description Left extra + Left extra Back surr left + (not used) (not used) Back surr right + (not used) (not used) Right extra Surround left+ Surround right + (not used) Chassis ground Auxiliary Analog Input 12 13 11 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 24 25 23 22 21 20 19 18 17 16 15 14 Digital (AES3) Input Connector Pinout 25-pin male D-Sub to 25-pin male D-Sub Pin # Description Pin # 1 AES 1: Gnd 14 2 AES 1: Neg 15 3 AES 2: Pos 16 4 AES 3: Gnd 17 5 AES 3: Neg 18 6 AES 4: Pos 19 7 (not used) 20 8 (not used) 21 9 (not used) 22 10 (not used) 23 11 (not used) 24 12 (not used) 25 13 (not used) Shell Description AES 1: Pos AES 2: Gnd AES 2: Neg AES 3: Pos AES 4: Gnd AES 4: Neg (not used) (not used) (not used) (not used) (not used) (not used) Chassis ground Digital Input (the connector providing AES3 pairs 1-4 and the connector providing AES3 pairs 5-8 are wired the same and with the same pair sequence) 12 13 11 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 24 25 23 22 21 20 19 18 17 16 15 14 14 Specifications Dimensions (H/W/D): Line voltage requirements Accessories included Front Panel Controls Power switch Mute control Auditorium fader Monitor volume/parameter adjust Menu-driven LCD Indicators Mute engage/disengage Monitor level/parameter focus Power on indicator Fault detect indicator Rear Panel Connectors D-Cinema input group 1 D-Cinema input group 2 Main analog input Extended surround input Universal Mic/Line input S/PDIF input DB-25 -- AES3/EBU channels 1-8 DB-25 -- AES3/EBU channels 9-16 DB-25 -- Analog audio channels 1-8 DB-25 -- DB-25 - Surround and Le/Re Channels XLR -- Mic (+ phantom pwr) or line level RCA -- Stereo digital audio interface and Lt/Rt Matrix Button illumination Encoder knob illumination Green LED Red LED Rocker switch Push button Rotary encoder Rotary encoder Touch control LCD 5. 25" x 19" x 15" 100 VAC ­ 240 VAC, 50/60 Hz 6 ft UL/CSA line cord, User Manual Software CD Audio Input Performance A/D conversion Dynamic range (unweighted) CMRR typical (max) Main Analog Input Input stage type Input impedance Max analog input level THD+N at +4dBu (nominal) Mic/Line Input Input stage type Input impedance Max analog input level THD+N at 2dB below clip (max) Digital Input (AES/EBU) Input type Input impedance Input sample rate Audio Output Performance DataPort outputs Output level range Dynamic range (unweighted): THD+N at +12dBu input level Frequency response D/A conversion DSP Performance Filter topology Crossover filters Parametric EQs H.
