Surround Sound Processor
Based on the powerful Analog Devices SHARC 32-bit floating point DSP, the C2N-DAP8RC achieves jaw-dropping sonic performance from all of today's digital sources, and is hardware and software upgradeable to support future advancements. Surround modes include Dolby Digital EX and DTS ES, as well as Dolby Prologic II and DTS Neo:6, providing every option for decoding and enhancing a complete range of movies and music.

Precision 24-bit 96 kHz A/D converters provide maximum dynamic range for analog sources. A total of 6 analog and 5 digital inputs are provided to accommodate a full complement of sources. In addition to the local inputs, analog and digital audio signals may also be received from a centralized head-end via built-in CAT5 Balanced AV ports.

The 7.1 output section, featuring 24-bit 192 kHz D/A converters, is ideal for driving Crestron's CNAMPX-7X200 7-Channel Surround Sound Amplifier. Both 5.1 and 6.1 speaker configurations are also supported. A discrete subwoofer output supports the reproduction of LFE (low frequency effects) audio with extensive bass management control to maximize the performance of any powered subwoofer. Every output includes individual level adjustment, 6-band parametric equalization, and up to 20 milliseconds of delay for precise optimization of the complete speaker system. Graphic equalization is also available, although its effects are global for all outputs. Output levels can be set and stored differently for each surround mode, and EQ presets (5 parametric or 10 graphic) allow for storage and recall of different curves tailored to particular audio material or listener preferences. Global bass and treble control is provided as well.

Complete and precise audio setup can be performed easily using Crestron's Digital Media Tools (DMT) software. For proper calibration, pink noise and Dolby noise sources are built into the C2N-DAP8RC.

Three additional stereo outputs are provided to feed line-level audio to recording devices and remote zone amplifiers. Output A is a fixed unity-level output, while Output B features a complete dedicated preamp section with independent controls for volume, bass, treble, balance, loudness, mono, and mute. The third output feeds the CAT5 audio port, allowing local analog audio signals to be routed to a centralized head-end for redistribution to other rooms. Any analog input on the C2N-DAP8RC can be independently routed to any or all of the three stereo outputs, noting that the signal selected for Output B is synonymous with the analog signal selected for the surround processor.

Video Matrix Switcher
The C2N-DAP8RC provides 12 unbalanced video input connectors to accept any combination of composite, S-Video, and high-definition component signals from local video sources. A CAT5 balanced video input port is also provided to receive video and digital audio signals from a centralized head end. Any of the input signals may be freely routed to any of 12 unbalanced output connectors to feed plasma displays, projectors, monitors, and other devices within the room. A CAT5 balanced video output port allows local video signals to be routed to the head-end for redistribution to other rooms.

Through programming, complete AV signal routing becomes transparent to the end-user with all switching occurring smoothly under the command of the control system. Each unbalanced video input even includes built-in signal sensing to report the presence of video signals to the control system, enabling auto-switching capability and providing verification of device power status. Also, since the C2N-DAP8RC's matrix switcher supports coaxial digital audio as well as video, it can effectively be utilized to expand the number of digital audio inputs and allow redistribution of local digital audio sources via the CAT5 balanced video output port.

Room Solution Box
Its bidirectional CAT5 audio and video ports enable the C2N-DAP8RC to interface with CNX-PVID8 video distribution switchers and CNX-BIPAD8 audio distribution processors, allowing AV sources to be shared easily between the theater and head end locations using inexpensive CAT5E cable. One Cresnet cable and up to three CAT5E cables (available as CresCATQ, sold separately) provide complete connectivity for bidirectional audio, video, and control over a distance of up to 750 feet (500 feet for component video).

Four IR/serial ports and one bi-directional RS-232 port provide a powerful interface for control of local video projectors, plasma displays, televisions, VCRs, DVD players, and more. A single digital input port is also provided to support the optional CNXRMCS TV current sensor, or any low-voltage contact closure device.

The C2N-DAP8RC functions as a slave device to any 2-Series control system communicating via the Cresnet control network. Any of Crestron's touchpanels, keypads, and handheld remotes may be used to provide the user interface to control the C2N-DAP8RC and all connected devices. Adding an optional CNXRMIRD IR receiver affords cost-effective control from any Crestron or third-party universal IR remote.
