The USP3/CN is a HiQnet and TCP/IQ series component and connects to the audio con- trol/monitor network using a standard 100Mb Ethernet hardware (switches, Network Interface Cards, and cables). CobraNet™ audio is avail- able over the same 100Mb Ethernet network, providing a simple to install, single plug solution for audio distribution, control, and monitoring.
The USP3/CN’s SHARC DSP processor gives the user an enormous amount of digital signal

Specifications
General
Internal Controls: A Reset/Preset switch, accessible with a straightened paper clip through the PIP panel, selects the next user preset if pressed for less than 2 seconds, resets the PIP to preset “0” if pressed for more than 2 seconds.
Connectors:
Balanced Audio Input Connector
Single
AUX Connector
Configurable for AUX input or AUX output. Listen Bus is available through CobraNet.
Network Connector
The dual RJ45 CobraNet connectors allow a Primary & Secondary connection to the 100Mb Ethernet network. Should the Primary con- nection lose link activity with the network,
the USP3/CN will automatically switch to the Secondary connection to ensure uninterrupted audio and control. The indicators on the RJ45 connectors display network information con- cerning the Ethernet and CobraNet connections.
Indicators:
Preset Indicator
Signals the number of the current preset, if active, by flashing a series of flashes equal to the current preset number.
IQ Data Indicator
Flashes when the
Switches:
Reset/Preset Switch
Used to change presets, restore settings to fac- tory default or restore all the presets to the fac- tory defaults. During operations of the switch, the Data indicator flashes as an aid to the user.
