PIP LITE

SmartAmp Automation for Networked Audio

The Crown PIP LITE is a PIP (Programmable Input Processor) input module for PIP2 compatible amplifiers. The PIP-LITE connects to an audio control network via 100 Mb Ethernet. The audio path in the PIP LITE is processed totally in the analog domain. The SmartAmp™ feature set offers a range of automation functions which provide greater control over amplifier

operation and helps to save both time and money.

PIP USP3/CN

SmartAmp Automation for TCP/IQ

The Crown PIP-USP3/CN is a 3rd generation DSP-based PIP™ (Programmable Input Processor) input module for PIP2 compatible amplifiers.* It connects the amplifier to a 100 Mb Ethernet network allow- ing it to be remotely controlled and monitored. In addition, the USP3/CN allows the transport of real-time digital audio via CobraNet™ over the same

Ethernet network.

FEATURES

•A Programmable Input Processor with system networking capabilities (connects via 100 Mb Ethernet).

•Remote control and monitoring of PIP2-compatible Crown amplifiers as well as some PIP1-­compatible amplifiers.*

•Can be connected to the same network used to transmit CobraNet™ audio.

•Implements SmartAmp features: input compressors, multimode output limiters, error reporting and load monitoring.

•AUX connector configurable for AUX input, AUX output, or Listen Bus.

The USP3/CN connects to the audio control/monitor network using standard 100 Mb Ethernet hardware (switches, Network Interface Cards, and cables). CobraNet™ audio is available over the same 100 Mb Ethernet network, pro- viding 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 processing. Audio routing, faders, meters, polarity & mute, input compressors, filters, delays, multimode output limiters, error report- ing, and load monitoring are all available. A built-in noise generator and sine- wave generator provide noise masking and test capabilities. The enhanced AUX port capability allows the user to interface with the amplifier to provide external manual control and monitoring.

FEATURES

•100 Mb Ethernet single-plug solution for both CobraNet™ audio and networked control and monitoring.

•Analog audio inputs allow audio input to the CobraNet™ network, CobraNet™ audio redundancy, or a hardwire emergency override of CobraNet™ audio.

•Listen Bus amplifier output monitor via CobraNet™.

•24 bit digital to analog conversion with 32 bit, floating point DSP processing.

•64 assignable filters with 9 different filter types including

all-pass filters.

•Over 2 seconds of delay available per channel.

•Input compressors and output limiters for each channel.

•Dual, uncorrelated noise generators for noise masking.

•Sine-wave generator.

•Load supervision.

•Full error reporting.

•Firmware upgrades via the network.

•10 user selectable presets.

•Reliable FLASH memory backup of all parameters.
