Digital Audio Processor with Room Control Crestron C2N-DAP8RC

For example, to route the CAT5 audio input to output B, use an Analog Initialize
symbol to set the value of <DSP/OutB_Src> to 1. (Here, if no digital audio source is
being used, the CAT5 audio will also be sent to the DSP.)
Similarly, to switch RCA input 4 to output A, initialize <OutA_Src> to 4.
The feedback signals report the currently selected audio source for each output.
Again, in the case of output B, the feedback signal will be updated if the DSP selects
a different analog audio source.
Slot 07: Audio Output B Controls
The Audio Output B Controls module is a volume/tone controller built into slot 07 of
the C2N-DAP8RC surround sound processor. The C2N-DAP8RC provides three
outputs for analog audio: one CAT5 output and two left/right RCA outputs labeled A
and B. Output A flows directly from the processor's internal Analog Audio Switch
without additional processing, while output B is passed through the Audio Output B
Controls volume/tone controller. The symbol is shown below.
Audio Output B Controls
Digitals
The <Mute-On> and <Mute_Relay_On> inputs cuts audio for as long as their
respective signal remains high. The <Loudness-On> input activates the loudness
function for as long as the input remains high, while the <Mono-On> input switches
the audio setting from stereo to mono.
Analogs
The <Volume> analog input sets the volume level from 0% to 100%, which
corresponds to a gain range of –80 to +20 dB. The other analog inputs control bass,
treble and balance settings relative to the 50% mark. That is, a <Balance> input with
a value of 50% results in even distribution of audio between the left and right
speakers (0% = full left; 100% = full right). Likewise, 50% indicates a neutral level
for <Treble> and <Bass>.
NOTE: The symbols for the surround sound processor’s Surround Sound Decoder
symbol, Slot 08; the Speaker Settings symbol, Slot 09 Sub-Slot 1; the Full
Parametric EQ Controls symbol, Slot 09 Sub-Slot 2; and the Graphic EQ Controls
symbol, Slot 09 Sub-Slot 3, are very complex. Crestron strongly recommends using
its Digital Audio Tools (DAT) software to configure these modules. However, they
are described in “Appendix: Advanced Programming Symbols” beginning on page
63, for those advanced programmers who wish to program them in SIMPL
Windows.
