MC-12 Getting Started

High-precision 24-bit/96kHz A/D converters can be used to convert stereo and 5.1 analog audio input signals to digital signals, allowing the MC-12 to provide the benefits of precise digital signal processing without sacrificing signal integrity. Alternatively, stereo and 5.1 analog signals can bypass A/D conversion and internal processing to remain in the analog domain straight to the output connectors.

Digital audio input signals are processed through a two-stage phase lock loop for extremely low intrinsic jitter and high rejection. Lexicon’s proprietary auto azimuth technology corrects timing and level imbalances in stereo sources, ensuring exceptionally accurate playback of surround-encoded sources. A digital audio pass- through option is available for recording digital signals with a CD recorder or a similar component.

Complementing its audio performance, the MC-12 features two broadcast-quality video switchers. An ultra-wide bandwidth component video switcher accepts analog component or RGB video signals, while a composite and S-video switcher accepts high- quality NTSC, PAL or SECAM video signals. The component video switcher can pass High-Definition TV (HDTV) signals, and Standard- Definition TV signals. Both switchers are designed to pass video signals without alteration or degradation.

An unparalleled processor, the MC-12 conveys the best in music and cinema with awesome power and leading-edge technological sophistication. Even the most demanding enthusiasts will be impressed with its exceptional performance. The MC-12 is a must- have addition for any high-quality home theater.
