INTRODUCTION
An Overview of the ISP-100
Thank you for choosing the ISP-100™ for your signal processing needs. The ISP-100 is the first in a line of high quality signal processing products from TELEX Communications, Inc.’s Merlin division. The ISP-100 represents a continued commitment to understanding and meeting our customers needs through the development of innovative and intuitive solutions.
The ISP-100 is designed with flexibility in mind, which results in a powerful tool that allows you to adapt to ever-changing markets and applications. The utmost in quality is also a prime directive in the design and manufacture of this product.
A series of predefined signal path topologies called QuickMAPs™ are offered which enable the designer to quickly define the system’s processing structure. This approach allows for a continuation of new processing solutions and/or variations that provide “market specific” templates to help minimize your design time and increase your profit.
This single rack space unit can replace a multitude of traditional analog components. Time and money savings are realized in reduced labor costs for wire harnessing, rack size, assembly, and minimized failure due to reduced interconnection. As a result of this consolidation of processing, overall system performance and audio integrity is greatly increased.
An ergonomically designed software interface called VUE-IT™ provides graphic control panels with the conventional look of signal processors, as well as an advanced and easy to use filter tool panel which graphically displays the configuration of your filter block settings.
One of the most impressive and unique features of the ISP-100 is the configurable input/output (I/O). This feature allows the designer or installer to select between analog input or output modules, and/or a digital input/output combination module. These modules are two channel units and can be intermixed between analog and digital, thus providing a variety of I/O combinations. The ISP-100 supports a maximum of four inputs and eight outputs. The inputs and outputs can be either analog, digital, or a combination of both.
Because of our commitment to providing the utmost in audio quality the dynamic range of the ISP-100 rivals anything currently on the market.
The ISP-100 has a typical noise floor of –110 dBu and a typical THD+N of <0.004%. Propagation time is minimized in the ISP-100. No more than two milliseconds of delay is introduced from any analog input to analog output with full processing and delay set to zero.
The ISP-100 is flexible. A General Purpose Interface (GPI) allows multiple system configurations to be selected without the need of a PC to control the unit. This is accomplished through user-supplied contact
