Less Wiring, Faster Setup
The DCP greatly simplifi es system wiring and setup, signifi cantly 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. Connections to DCA amplifi ers for input and monitor signals are made
through a single QSC DataPort cable (VGA-style cable). All traditional XLR and barrier strip terminations are eliminated. DCP processors simplify
setup by using a menu-driven, PC-based software program for confi guration. The program includes a speaker data fi le that lists default parameters
for popular cinema speaker models. Commonly used confi gurations can also be saved on a disk, or redistributed across a network, allowing you
to quickly load them into other DCP processors throughout a theatre complex. All system confi guration data may be saved to an SD memory card,
allowing easy transfer of settings to a new (backup) DCP, should replacement ever be required.
Advanced Monitor Functions
In addition to audio monitoring of amplifi er inputs and outputs, the DCP includes QSC’s exclusive “load fault” detection. The DCP monitors
all amplifi er outputs and indicates opens and shorts in the speaker system, providing confi rmation that all amplifi er outputs are functioning
properly. Further, the DCP detects all amplifi er clipping and protect modes and heat sink temperature for reporting via a QSControl
™
Ethernet
monitoring system or via SNMP.
The QSControl.net
™
suite of applications allows for the creation of custom control screens via “drag and drop” design using the QSCreator software
application. Screens can be designed to provide intuitive fault reporting and diagnosis that is accessible through remote network access. In addition,
QSC’s PoE-enabled NAC 100 Ethernet remote control panel provides remote operation and status throughout a cinema multiplex from anywhere on
the local network.
