Q-SYS JSD-60DN 8-Channel Digital Cinema Audio Processor

Q-SYS JSD-60DN Digital Cinema Audio Processor: Your Gateway to Immersive Sound

Enhance your digital cinema experience with the USL JSD-60 cinema sound processor. Enjoy low noise and low distortion 96 kHz processing for superb performance. The six standard formats, along with user-configurable format buttons, support a variety of existing and future formats. Duplicate formats at different fader levels for easy volume changes between content types. The front panel display shows the current fader level, format name, and audio level on each audio output. The built-in bypass audio circuitry ensures uninterrupted presentations even in case of system failure.

The USL JSD-60 is automation-friendly, featuring a standard DB25 parallel automation interface, an RS-232 (EIA232) interface, and Ethernet. The Ethernet interface accepts 5 simultaneous TCP connections for control by a digital cinema server and other equipment, while being monitored over another TCP connection.

The USL JSD-60 graphical user interface simplifies installation with sound pressure level measurement and automatic equalization. System monitoring, control, and firmware update functions are accessible via a standard web browser.

The USL JSD-60 includes a precision 1/3 octave RTA using ANSI S1.11-1986 filters and sound pressure measurements with the C-weighted filter specified in ANSI S1.4-1983. The RTA and SPL meter can be used for manual or automatic auditorium equalization. The auto-EQ feature uses user-defined microphone calibration files and standard or user-defined equalization curves to automatically adjust the graphic equalizer on each channel.

The USL JSD-60 is diagnostic-friendly, logging the last 15,000 events (format changes, level changes, internal temperature, loss of AES/EBU audio, etc.) to internal flash memory. Review log data on the GUI or web interface. Check the current operational status, including selected format, fader level, and measured audio output levels, on the GUI, web interface, or via SNMP. An optional plug-in module decodes Dolby Digital and DTS encoded content, and an optional crossover card supports bi-amp operation for three screen channels with two LFE outputs.

The USL JSD-60 offers a variety of processing and output options. Processing options include Dolby Digital and DTS decoding or not. Output options include standard 8-channel analog, 8-channel analog with bi-amp for 3 screen channels, AES/EBU, and BLU link. All units have analog HI/VI-N.
